I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Beware of this daycare. They appear to be kind but all they are after is your money. The teachers let the children fight and marks are always left on your child. They will ask you to sign papers for food program don't . The owner is crooked she only sees dollar signs. They discriminate based on race and are critical. Some of the teachers who are hired there all have language barriers and accents. You can barely make out what they are saying. I have no idea how they can help teach when you can't understand what they're saying This daycare doesn't have adequate space indoors for the children to learn and play. The children are all cramped in one living space room in a home . This house daycare has a stairwell in the entrance where your child can easily fall and it is often crowded when picking up or dropping your child. This is a hazard and unsafe. The daycare is able to thrive through their private business where they try to make more money off of you by asking for your personal information. Beware of the owner Margret and Abby who seem nice but are classifying your children with names and have no true clinical experience to do so.
