Don't send your child here. They come close to abusing the children. My daughter spent most of her three weeks there in time-out. Time out for a 15 month old! Really? Completely ridiculous. And the teacher had the audacity to tell me that my child hit her 'best little girl'. Playing favorites? The director is rude and has lied to us on several occasions. The teachers (aside from the timeout incidents) are also rude. Beware!
