Monica said My baby was disruptive at 4 months old because she had gas. She also gave my baby expired formula and then told me when I picked her up that she had only eaten 3oz all day. She never bothered to call me about it. The staff was told not to hold the babies when they cry and she got mad at me on Mondays because she "could tell" that I held her over the weekend. Yeah I held my 4 month old baby. WTF. More issues, but you get the point. This resulted in me calling Tucson police to retrieve my items and never go back! BEWARE
