I am an employee

I was an employee and I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are terrible people there, and their practices are not ethical.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The teachers are all over the place on their phones and not paying attention to the kids. One teacher grabbed a child by his arms and placed him between her legs telling him to shut up and be still. Very unorganized!
