I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The children told us that their teachers were mean, and at first we didn't believe them, but we should have.
I was deeply saddened to discover the depths of apathy and abuse that occurs in this facility. No child's teacher should stand him up and have his peers humiliate him. No child should be left in poopie diapers/undies all day, and no child should be further abused as retaliation for telling their parents the truth of what they're enduring. ????
