This daycare started out okay as I reviewed it for several months, however the director and others seem to be highly unprofessional. They talk down to some of the parents and in front of the children. The children are sometimes not paid the proper attention,especially during outting. This is not a daycare that I feel deserve a 4 star credit. I believe a lot of unethical things may go on in this facility.
