I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My child attended Rainbow for 3 weeks-in this short time, I noticed there was no structure in the classroom and the children spent a lot of time in the gym, running freely, while the "teachers" talked amongst themselves-overall a non-conducive environment for a toddler.
