I have used this provider for more than 6 months

center is dirty and run down. management is unprofessional. owner walks around half naked around the kids. the teachers are the only good thing about the place but I'm sure they'll be leaving soon as the turn over is super high. taking my children out of this daycare was the best thing I ever did!!
