I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This Daycare has Alcohol Anonymous meetings and Daycare simultaneously. Martha Riley insults children. She takes them to her personal home and that's unauthorized and unacceptable.She has her Mother watch the children when she is gone.Martha is breaking rules.
