LOVE THIS PLACE!! Kind of expensive but is worth paying the money.. BUT.... I will suggest you DO NOT APPLY to get a job. The owner requires that all applicants must be pursuing or have a BS, HOWEVER... THEY PAY HORRIBLE. I know from past employees that even with a college degree THEY DO NOT PAY OVER $9.50/HR... When I knew this information I was in shock, EVEN CHICK-FIL-A PAYS MORE! I feel sorry for those girls, they really take care of the kids and they love what they do, they deserve a better salary.
