Wouldn't work there, they will give you a bad recommendation.

 Half of the staff treat the children unprofessional not caring, rude Ive seen how they treat there children and as far as caring an loving is false. I would not send my child to this facility!

I wouldnt want my child to be around a teacher or facility that pay more attention to there personal life and not the children.
