Reviews
This daycare provider runs “specials” such as 6 months of daycare for $1,000 up front. After a few weeks she will tell you she can no longer keep your kid and will not give you a refund of any kind. She says the best she can do is make payments to you. She is a money hungry woman and dropped kids that were paid for several years up front because she was no longer getting any income from the parents.
