Absolutely the worst childcare experience ever! Do not take your child here if you care about his/her health. Letting a freezing child in a onsie sit in a swing over an air vent screaming and then telling me you are not sure why my child is upset is not acceptable. Trying to feed a 3 month old with no teeth cheerios is not acceptable. My son shot up from the 20th percentile in weight to the 50th percentile in weight within a month of pulling him out. These are just a few examples... I walked in while tornado sirens were going off, and there was an unsupervised toddler pushing against the back emergency exit door. I took the poor baby and mine and headed for an interior hallway... The worst childcare experience ever.
