I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Owner unprofessional when dealing with mothers. Staff very unprofessional and ghetto. Do not send your babies there. There daily report of what a child does throughout the day is not accurate. Staff not filling in the sheets correctly. If the temperature is a certain temperature outside the close the facility. The license and inspection needs to reevaluate this facility. Definitely not a 4 star, it's more like a no star.
