I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

I personally do not send my child there. However, I did a tour there and was completely turned off as soon as I walked in. It was like someone punched me in the stomach and was telling me to leave. The person giving the tour never introduced herself, let alone acknowledge my son. She just shoved a clipped at me to fill out and walked away. She came back in a few seconds, and I could tell she was annoyed by her demeanor. There is no way I will be sending my child there.

This preschool is the unorganized ,unprofessional , has an extremely high turnover with its teachers and is dirty! My daughter attended here for less than a year and had about 6 teachers one of wich had a huge hickey on her neck when I picked up my daughter one day! The teachers do not pay attention to the kids which resulted in bullying, indecent exposure and children telling other children to put there hair in the toilet. The administrative staff is horrible when it comes to billing ,answering the phone, being in the office and keeping track of the shot records you provide! My daughter did not improve on her abc's, numbers , spelling her name or anything while attending this disappointment they call a preschool ! I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy!
