This place is going to kill a child! Total disregard for food allergies, which are deadly to the child. They don't call 911 when a child stops breathing. They don't care that teachers are aggressive toward a 1-year-old. They have been on a probation license for the last year. The state has been in and out due to complaints. The director lets employees bring their sick children to work with them so they can have the teachers there. They have several critical health/safety violations with the state.
