I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Horrible! My baby who is 8 months has only been in this day care for a month and was bitten by another child who was THREE YEARS OLD. Worst part is I had to find out when I got home. No one at the day care cared to tell me and there were teeth marks so I'm sure they saw it let alone heard him cry because of it. Even aside from my experience the day care is unorganized and a bit messy, the workers do not seem happy to be there at all. There's no reason why big toddlers should have been in the infant room and the owner didn't even know who was watching the infants on that day so we don't even know whose to blame. Spare yourself the headache, it doesn't get much worse than this.
