I toured this home and it was not what I expected for a home daycare. Not clean. She had way too many kids. A man there that made me feel uncomfortable. She had more kids than the state allows to have at one time. Dogs barking. House had an odd smell and she wasn’t very pleasant with the children. I would NOT take my kid here.
