I have used this provider for more than 6 months

POORLY MANAGED FACILITY, CLASSROOMS ARE DARK AND UNINVITING, STAFF IS RUDE, THE DIRECTER DOES NOT APPROPRIATELY ADDRESS PARENT CONCERNS, DIAPERS ARE NOT CHECKED PROPERLY AND THEY ARE RUDE AND MEAN TO THE CHILDREN, I HIGHLY DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS DAYCARE.
