I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My child attended this daycare for 9 weeks and it was horrible. Even though she has is involved with a state food program, my child constantly expressed how little they were given during lunch. We also wanted to make the teacher aware of a situation that happened when she left children UNSUPERVISED during nap time and my child was the one who was punished even though my child was the one that was physically hurt by another child. After she interrogated my child 3 times and said "they admitted they lied the 3rd time I asked" do not send your child here unless you do not care what happens to them.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child went to this daycare off and on for about 3 years. He used to love going there until he suddenly didn't. We had a meeting with her because out child started having tantrums and she couldn't handle him. She forbid him from bring his comfort item thinking that was the problem. Not long after that she gave us a scholarship. We used it for 2 days due to covid. When she reopened, I asked about bringing his comfort item again and she took the scholarship back and threatened to kick my child out because we "disrespected" her. I pulled my child out immediately and haven't been back. Do not take your child there.

Worst daycare center ever. Would never recommend to anyone. Do not send your children here. They won’t be the same kids you dropped off and will take weeks for them to recover.
