I have used this provider for less than 6 months

If Zero stars was a choice thats what would have been given. My children ages 3 months, 2 yrs, and 4 yrs. Attended this daycare for 4 days and the forth day I pick my 3 month old up with a deep scratch on her face with no explanation!!! My 2 y.o looked nothing like I dropped her off. Her hair was a mess clothes dirty even tho I provide extra clean clothing... My 3 month old clothes were wet from her spit up she didn't have a bib on and didn't get her clothes changed. The director was no where to be found so I can get an incident report and my infant was the only infant in the class how did she get a scratch!!!??? Still no response. My 4 y.o said a boy punched him in the face what are the staff doing??? What are they getting paid for??? DON'T TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!! LOOK ELSEWHERE PLZ!
I needed the childcare but not here..
