Since ownership has changed this center has really turned around. My daughter loves going here and we have not had any problems. The staff are so dedicated to their jobs and taking care of the children. 10/10 recommend!
Do not take your children here. The manager/owner steals from her employees and steals paychecks. She is so unorganized and the building is unsanitary and dirty for children. Teachers are constantly screaming at the kids meanly
