I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Im being generous with the 3 star rating. My son has never been so sick .... ever....since attending this school. He was in 3k with many other children, in person, beginning of COVID, and didnt get sick once. The entire year! The school, knowing not all children wear their masks, should be constantly aware and maintaining distance and cleanliness. They do not! Children here are 3 and 4 years old they need to be cared for by the adults. They are not! My child comes home with permanent paint on his hands and it takes weeks to get it off! You would think they would use paints for little ones that are water based....they do not! The school busses is a whole other nightmare. If I could choose again I would not choose this school for my baby and wish I had reviews that I could have seen before choosing. Try Birch.

I am an employee
The school staff are judgmental of the parents and are just there for money and not for the love of these kids. I can count with my hands and he few that I could tell do the job because they love the kids
