I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This school has lots of updated technology my child had been there for more than two years and I never met the director. The only time I would hear from her is if it was concerning money. She changed daycare schedules without notice, payment terms and got angry when asked to explain extra fees. There was never a problem with payment but because she didn’t want to explain the fees she issued a partial refund and told me my daughters things would be ready at the end of the day. At this point that was fine with me because I did not want my child somewhere where money was more important than her. In addition to her billing being inconsistent and adding fees without notice, and she changing the schedule when ever she liked without notice whether there was an emergency or not. Her facility is ran down I once witnessed a broken entrance door for more than 6 months and the center closed temporarily because her staff walked out because of the way they were being treated and the way the center was being ran. My child was never a threat and in fact was constantly praised by her teachers for her behavior and I had even seen video of my 4 year old child teaching class to the other students. Before leaving I noticed that younger kids were not separated from older kids, and my child was constantly getting sick and making everyone else at home sick. We had requested that her mask stay on and that has not been followed consistently. This facility in my opinion has potential the staff is great but in my opinion you should beware if you are looking for a facility that is ran by someone who is professional and cares about the welfare of your child more than money!
