Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more

It should be known that this is a topic we often discuss to ensure that time outs are handled properly and therapeutically. Staff have been informed that high chairs are for meals time's only and are not to be used for time out. Staff member 1 was counseled individually on better ways to handle a child who bites. Also, we do state in our parent handbook that if a child is severely violent towards others that the parent of that child will be asked to find alternative care for that child. |

I have been an employee for two years. I really like working here. We are not only co workers, we are a family. Everyone is supportive of each other. The atmosphere is very relaxed . Sam and Jess are great to work for. They care about the children and staff, and put them as their first priority especially the kids. This is my second job and they always work with my schedule. I would recommend this facility to anyone who wants a caring staff and management. They serve good balanced meals! Thanks to Mr. Kurt! Don't hesitate to put the learning Station on your list for child care.
