I have used this provider for more than 6 months
This place is a nightmare for parents and kids. Very unprofessional staff calling themselves teachers. You will get surprised every single day. You will experience many unknown surprises from merging another KA center and having many kids with many teachers at the same class while teachers fight in front of kids about who does what to missing kids without even noticing it for hours. Send your kid to this daycare and experience painful consequences.
