I have used this provider for more than 6 months

They state in the parent handbook that their teachers possess 12 credits of school towards or in early childhood and that is not true. They don’t serve the snacks on the list and I have witnessed the kids running around hitting each other. The owners were rude and hardly ever seen. The colts are a mess and the playground, as I’ve seen through the back, is all run down.
