They are irresponsible and lack common sense. They transported my autistic grandchild to her school around 7:40 am without a car seat and left her with the crossing guard! Lucky the crossing guard knows my grand daughter who then took her inside the school office. They weren't supposed to transport her to school since her mother was coming back to pick her up after her appointment. Plus my grand daughter doesn't start school till 11:25 am! My grand daughter who obviously has better common sense than they do said she told them she needed to be in a car seat and she doesn't go to school. They failed to listen to her or call her mother for clarification. The fact that they would transport a child without a car seat is quite disturbing along with leaving her with a crossing guard who may not have known her! I would never recommend this place to any of my friends!! if I could give no stars I would but it asks for a star rating.

My kids went here when I was in tucson.They are GREAT!. Both of my kids loved it. I would drop them off at 7am to make it to work on time and they took my oldest to school when it was time for her to be at school. I greatly appreciate everything they did and do for all the kids on here.My 2 kids loved their field trips.Kinda hard to live on Oracle and make it all the way to them every morning just to be at work on Ft.Lowell by 9am ( I was taking public transit then),they always managed to be there to receive my kids so I could hop on the next bus in order for me to be at work by 9am.I GIVE THIS DAYCARE CENTER 10+++++++. Thank You Mrs.Linda
