I have used this provider for more than 6 months
My son attended this daycare and I eventually had to pull him from there due to negligence and administration issues. When he was in the baby room- that teacher was FANTASTIC!! He moved up to Infant B room and those teachers were great as well. Then he moved into the 3rd room and things turned sour. I was getting art work sent home that was not made by my son. The 'daily sheets' that are filled out are just made up..I found many contradicting things. Then one day upon pick up, I went to get his food and bottles from the fridge. ALL his food/bottles were still there untouched!! My son had not been fed all day! The teachers just gave me a confused look and handed me the daily sheet all filled out as though he ate. I went to the director and she yelled and defended her staff and even said she can't promise it won't happen again. The next day, I watched on the monitors to see what was happening. All the children were sitting at the table listening to a story...except mine. He was on the floor by himself being totally ignored. I walked right in and pulled him from that daycare. I ended up contacting main headquarters and reporting the many many issues. Awful awful place!!
