I put my son there recently but as soon as he started there, literally his 2nd day while i went to pick him up, he was totally soaked from top to bottom with his socks and shoes literally dripping water, i inquired with his teacher and she said by the way he is wet from playing outside in the melting snow water puddle. For a second i can understand that probably my son jumped in the water as kids are kids but why wouldn't you stop him at all until he is completely soaked from top to bottom. There was a extra set of clothing in the backpack but she didn't even bother to change him. what are you charging $273 a week the parents for if you aren't even gonna do your job or take care of the kids? Very very disappointed. Just FYI after that incident my son was sick for the whole week with high temperatures of 105/106, i have all medical/ER records.
