I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I’m not one to speak bad about places because I understand how hard it can be to run a business, let alone one that includes 40 plus children, but this place was absolutely horrible at best. As someone who has worked with children in child protective services and in schools, do not send your kids here. The caregivers are rude to the kids and do not engage with them- they act like they hate being at work. My daughter cried every morning on the way because she disliked being there so much. There were always kids crying at the front entrance about wanting to go home. The customer service was horrible, they are not up front about their policies at all like most places should be and then if you do something (like I didn’t pay the day that they wanted since they were never clear), they sent a rude text message to me threatening me saying my child could not come back. Then I had a week I didn’t need care and they wanted me to pay full price (175 for full time) to “hold her place.” So they wanted me to pay full price for a service I was not even receiving because my child had to be somewhere for a week. Talk about no flexibility what so ever. Just a huge no. I’ve let community partners near the area know as well because I felt like children should not be going to this provider. No flexibility for everyday people, horrible customer service, not clear about their policies, the place is dinky and kids are on top of eachother- and the most clear part of all- my kid hated going there everyday.
