I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I have been taking my kids here for a few months and a staff member hit my child as well as let other kids hit my child. I would not send my child here. They will try and do he say she say like they had no clue on what's going on. They won't call you and let you know what's going on with your child because they will handle it themselves by hitting your child or yelling at them. Every time I picked up my child, she was soaking wet or had just pooped and they'll say, oh she just did that and don't clean her up before she leaves the facility. If you have issue Darcus the owner will always say she was out of town. When she clearly be there, that's why you never see her so in case something happens she'll say she was out of town. They will be extra nice when you go so you won't pay attention to what's going on around you. Also, I am a Christian and I believe in God and I'm not perfect but most of the people work there is part of LGBT, and I didn't want my kid around that because they would talk about their late nights with other women and no one should know what you do outside of work. She also has an attorney on call so be ready with your evidence and come correct. PLEASE DONT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE BECAUSE ITS NOT A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. When my daughter came home with a mark on her eye and swollen I broke down in tears. I cant say no more I'm too emotional.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?
