This place is dirty. They had hand foot mouth and didn't even clean properly. My daughter things where still in the same spot I left them in. The state has been there 3 times that I know of. They don't have enough staff in the mornings. The kids get left in attendant while they open the door for each parent. If your kid is to active they lock them in high chairs. My sister son was going there also and that's how I found out about the highchair thing. They ask the kids that are older to watch the babies. Very unprofessional. Needless to say my child only lasted a couple of weeks. Not to mention if you complain to the director nothing gets done because most of the staff are her relatives.

This daycare does not clean properly. They do not change their kids often. I would not recommend this place to bring your dog. It is not fit for kids. Please don't believe what they say. This people lie and your kids will come home sick cause they have bugs.
