I had my grandson in this daycare for a while problems I had with this daycare they let anybody into the building they did not card people who were picking up my grandson so anyone can go in and pick up your child and walk out with The child when you walk in you'll be lucky if somebody is watching your child I found my grandson and another child in the office area by themselves by the door left undone unattended while the provider was in the back washing the sink and the children were unattended. The billing was absurd they tried to charge me a little above $400 for my grandchild to attended school while he was not there and they charge me more than what my child attended the school. The school is ran by a physician who does not understand the business of daycare and does not hire the proper people to do the accounting or care for our children do not attend the school. The school does not even deserve a one star
