I took my son there in a pinch. Some of the staff were nice, but not a single one ever introduced themselves to me. My son screamed every day that I dropped him off. I finally ended up pulling him because, in the midst of a pandemic and a city order, their staff refused to wear masks. I addressed this issue on multiple occasions with the owner and she never rectified the situation. Her excuse was that children rarely got covid. I finally sent a video to the police of their staff not wearing masks, and they were cited. I would caution parents to think.... If they are breaking one rule because it is not convenient/comfortable/easy, what other rules are they breaking? This daycare is certainly cheap, but you get what you pay for
