I didn’t like it really unorganized the owner is horrible. My child had marks on her they said a kid hit her with a toy wanted to make sure it was the kid and not a worker I had called the police to look at the video. What parent ain’t gonna make sure they kid good. The owner had got mad because I called the cops so I can make sure my daughter is okay. She told me my daughter can’t come back because I called the cops to make sure my daughter is good. DO NOT GO HERE !!!! Rate this raggedy ass daycare a mf 0 !!!!!
