I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I would have never let my kid go here if I knew then what I know now. They neglect kids in subtle ways to where you won’t notice until a period of time later. I would get to the car after picking up and notice my child was very poopy, numerous times, when a change is supposed to be before pick up everyday. My child would get home and be hungry immediately walking through the door. If you have a complaint they don’t take you seriously and have gotten hostile with me on two separate occasions when I voiced a concern. The ‘hands on’ owner is never there, always on a ‘vacation’, honestly probably pocketing money from excessive fees. All around very unprofessional to me. Shut it down. I get that people need jobs and parents need care for the kids when they work… but this is not it.
