I had problems with this daycare from the start. I had to pull him from there on the third day. He only spent two days there and it's been hell. I am very unhappy with the service there. I filed a Police report and I had him checked by a doctor at the ER. I will also be calling the State as well. At the ER they found abrasions on his skin and rashes on his butt and face. They put the wrong diaper on my son as well as some other kids bib. They are very unsanitary.the ladies that were handling My so does not speak English.
