This child care center should be shut down period! It's run by a bunch of old ladies who think they are teaching in the 1960"s. They have staff there who are lazy, cannot spell or write grammatically correct. Have no clue about the 21st century of teaching early learners. The school is filthy dirty with rodents and roaches all over the place. One teacher name Ms. Doxen takes children the bathroom and hits them. The director Ms. Teresa Evans is a idiot!
