If you want your children to be abused then this would be the place . Absolutely disgusting . At the park today the owner Ellen was pulling kids hair and slamming them on the ground and yelling at them . They forgot a child in their car and the list goes on. I can't believe those children had to go through this . She needs to be shut down and we are going to make sure that happens

These people were just seen at the park grabbing a child they “care” for by her face pulling her by her hair for pulling her hair tie out of her hair.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We were with this provider for several year, but before we pulled our children we had several very dangerous safety issues and dishonesty from the provider. The preschool portion was not a priority and it affected our oldests readiness for school. The dishonesty and sharing our family information negatively with other individuals and providers was a huge issue for us. We need the person who cares for our children to have intergrity and be able to be honest especially when it come to the safety and lives of our children!
