I sent my 3 month old here and did not have a good experience. The first week I started the infant teacher resigned, they moved the other teacher who had been in the infant room to a different classroom. So two brand new teachers were hired and put in the infant room together, which I was not 100 percent comfortable with. They were sloppy filling out his daily sheets and I could not tell if they were doing their job feeding, changing and interacting with my son. I complained to the center director regarding the daily papers not being fully filled out and nothing changed. On week 3 when my husband and I picked up our son he was in a different outfit and the teacher couldn't remember why. When we got him home we went to change him and he had two onesies on! One was stained with poop and covered up with the other onesie!!! He had feces up his back and stomach which was caked on him! My husband and I were crying when we encountered this horrific sight!!! The center director made excuses and did not take responsibility. I would never send my child here again!
