I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My kid has been in three different Daycare since she was three years old. Hickory Ridge Kindercare is the most disappointing one while we were satisfied with the other two. The management is ALL ABOUT MONEY, and the teachers don't appear to be enthusiastic and caring. I would not recommend this daycare.
