Mobi's ark use to be a pretty decent place to bring your child.Unfortunley though since it's been new management and new staff my experience has been one of worst experiences I ever had at a daycare.The staff is very rude,they never speak and the director doesn't seem to care!Anoter thing that made me really me tic off is they do not change the children probabliy! My child has come home three times soaked along with a dirty shirt and a snotty noise.I am done with this nasty place!!!!
