My granddaughter attended this daycare. The staff were emotionally abusive and detached from the children. I witnessed a teacher yelling and shouting at the children and the head of the daycare program was emotionally abusive and degrading to the children and parents. When the children act out due to staff behavior they blame it on the child. Spoke to people in daycare field and it is known they have problems there. Do yourself a favor do not send your child there!!!
