If I could give her zero stars I would have. My experience with this provider has been atrocious to say the least. No stimulation in this environment what so ever, she does the bare minimum lets the children run around, had on multiple occasion left a 5 gallon bucket full of water around while the children have access to the same room. My child had a speech delay and refused birth to three program from coming in and helping as well as he still uses a bottle; and because of that never made sure he was adequately hydrated. He would come home on many occasions extremely thirsty. One afternoon picking him up a few hours early he hadn't even touched the bottle yet! I was furious.
Also she took on two more newborns a few months after we started, and because of my pushing for birth to three to help with my kids speech delay (which she refused) .. i think is why she kicked us out after getting caught by the state for having too many children under 2 years old. She couldn't be bothered to wash my sons face or hands when he was dirty always came back to me filthy. Had two pitbulls (which i never agreed w but whatever) She also took a lot of time off and gave last minute notice. and care 4 kids told me i owed her 15.00aweek and she charged 20.00 which i never argued because of having no where else to go...Never use this provider unless you don't mind all of the above, i wouldn't recommend sending your hamster to her.
