I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Turnover is too high and kids switch around a lot between teachers. Doors next to preschool classrooms are unlocked and easy to push open from the inside several kids have left the building unnoticed. Kids are not checked in or out on the parent website frequently and teachers will not know exactly what room they were moved to. Building is bright and colorful but it is dirty. Some teachers scream a lot and are rough with kids. Front desk staff does not watch who kids are leaving with and greet you when you walk in if anyone is sitting there at all. Water table is dirty and outdoor playroom that it is in is dirty and playgrounds have no toys for the kids to play with. They've had good teachers but they often seems overwhelmed and quit within months of starting.
