I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This is the worst daycare never! How staff treat kids while parents are not there is horrible. I used to take my child there when she was 2-3 years old, I noticed my kid coming home with bruises and staff could not tell me how she got them. I decided one day to do a surprise visit and I noticed staff treating other kids poorly so my kid never went back after that. My child is now 6 years old and every time we happen to pass by she calls it the bad place.
