I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter has been coming to this center for two years now. The teachers are amazing and as far as the cleanliness goes, I think they do a wonderful job. However, if other parents kept their sick children home instead of doping their children up maybe it will help cut back some on the sickness. The center has been following CDC guidelines as well as staying in constant connection with them on any covid cases. There are also flyers around the center that shows a company called bio pure comes in to spray the center weekly and I have also noticed a cleaning lady every afternoon there cleaning. Overall, I think the teachers and owners are wonderful and loving and treat the kids as their own.

I am not pleased with the environment of the child. Children are sick constantly and I am beginning to wonder if the toys and the areas used daily are sanitized by a company or at closing by anyone. Children who are sick should not be in the center and as soon as they find out a child is sick, Proper cleaning should take place to try to ensure other children are not contracting any similar illnesses'.
The lack of COVID precautions for the staff may be a reason for the children becoming ill. the contact from the staff. Something needs to be done to change the cleanliness of the center.
