if i could give this daycare zero stars i would. they wouldn’t let the kids sit together because they didn’t want them talking. they were there for after school why can’t they talk? they are charging kids for snacks! there was a issue with subsidy so instead of calling the parent to inform them that the child couldn’t come they took the child back to school after school hours. told the parent it wasn’t their job to call, but called the parent to argue about a co-payment not being returned. these women are nasty and rude, ghetto and need to be shut down they do not care about your children!
My children has been at this center since infants now 4 and 2 years and we absolutely love it. Safe, clean, nurturing learning environment.
my daughter has been going here for 6 years. I am VERY please with the service they provide. especially the CLEANINESS of the facility.
The teachers are great but the owner is money hungry rude to parents and is very arrogant rather then being professional
