I do not have a child here, but I witnessed families dropping their kids off and no lie very kid cried. I’m right at the front door waiting for my husband and son to leave the growing child pediatrics building next door. That is not a good sign, EVERY kid cried and the older kids just put their heads down and slowly walked in. Looking at the reviews I can see why. I would never drop an innocent and vulnerable kid off here.
Very rachet daycare and owners, Keke Pope and her husband. There are very unprofessional. The owners are "hood" and allow violence between the children and staff. They do not have enough staff to cover the amount of children they have. I had to submit paperwork 3 times because they lost it. I would NEVER recommend this childcare facility, not even to a pet owner.
