I have used this provider for more than 6 months
First, I will start off saying that my oldest is in the younger 2's class and loves it. The outdoor area is plentiful and the kids have lots of room to run around. The poor rating is due to horrible experience in the infant room. You can forget bringing your child if they have a "fever" of 99 (state says 100 is fever). You can forget if you kid throws up half an ounce every once in a while when she eats her food. If that's the case, you'll need a doctor's note. Be prepared to be buying a small pack of diapers every single week because they will change your child's diaper 8 times in a 7 hour period daily. Be prepared to never have a proactive conversation about your child because you won't be able to without being told you're wrong and being interrupted. Be prepared to get a phone call because your child hasn't slept all day, but yet they can't figure out why she's crying. Hope I get my point across...

Very poor child care. They are under staffed. People who are not certified are watching children. Inconsistent with the kids. I would advise you to look elsewhere if you are looking for quality day care. The director doesn't know the policy's and lies.

About the Provider
The first several years of a child's life are very important and every child should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. A child consists of the following parts: physical, emotional, social, and academic needs.
A lot of love, encouragement, and patience provided by educators and families are essential in producing quality lives and learning for our children. Parents and educators working together towards positive goals for children are extremely helpful for their maximum development in all areas of their life.
Family involvement and support of a child especially in their earlier stages are of utmost pertinence. Parents who recognize the needs of their children and develop time and energy in nurturing those needs produces children who are usually independent, happy, and feel good about themselves.
