I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Providers are very compassionate. My child has a variety of learning experiences at the school and the staff provides a safe and loving enviorment for my daughter!

Fantastic teachers and owners, but absolutely horrible director. I personally have seen her being rough with a child and treats her staff absolutely horrible.
