My son has been going there for 4 years. The other day my son starts hysterically crying and told me another kid inappropriately touches him when no one is looking (which he told me the teachers are always on their phones). So owner pretty much does nothing and tried to sweep it under the carpet. So if you want your children to learn how to get suspended send them here!
