It's a cute place and the owner is really nice. They apparently have a good program. However, I was not reassured to leave my baby in the infant room. It is detached from the main building, without much security to the main street. No camera, nothing.
Also, when I ask the caregivers how was the day, the only answer I ever had was "very good". No explanations, no details, no smile.
The sheet stating how many bibs, naps etc.. was filled at the last minute "from memory".
