Ms. Katrina may seem as if she cares but doesn't they don't feed the kids the right amount of food she has different people working there every other day. And doesn't tell the parents anything also there are two person's working there right now who shouldn't be around kids how do you allow people who have special needs them self's to handle small Children. They hide things going on in the childcare that should not be. I wish I knew this before trusting my children in there hands.
Katrina and her family were very kind to my children. They treated like a part of their family. They played a major role in the transitional care of my young relative and helped him develop into a smart young man. I recommend and trust this center.
