She doesn't even teach the children my kids went there for about 2 weeks I pulled them out right away.not only they told stuff I've also witness bad things for myself I'm not trying to bash this Daycare but it's the truth if you send your child/ children there they start crying hanging on you that's a sign something is wrong
