Worst experience ever!!!! The ownwer cares only about the money she gets from the parents' kids. I could not believe the actitude she gave me just because I couldn't take my kid the whole week, so I only paid her for the days my kid went. She yelled at me in front of all the kids. I feel bad for the kids that have to stay. I wouldn't recomend this place to anyone!!!
