The kids enjoy going here; the reason I only give it three stars is because even if my child doesn't go there for the entire week, I am expected to pay for their "attendance." I find it extremely unfair to have this as any sort of policy because my roommate lost his job, and I can't afford to pay for the childcare currently. Also, he's now home in the afternoon for the kids so there's no need for them to go. Why should I have to pay if they aren't there?
