I have used this provider for less than 6 months

THEY ARE CONSUMED WITH RUNNING THE DAYCARE THE WAY IT BENEFITS THEM. THEY LACK EMPLOYEED TO WATCH THE CHILDREN BUT ARE LOOOKING TO MAKE A ROOM FOR BIGGER KIDS DURRING THE SUMMER. ALL THEY WANT IS TROUBLE. IF IT A DAYCARE FOR UP TO THE AGE OF 5 IT SHOULD STAY THAT WAY. NOT CHANGE TO BENEFIT OTHER PEOPLE OR EVEN THEIR OEN POCKETS. IM SO CONTACTING THE SATE BEACAUSE SOME RULES AND REGILATION ARE OVER SEEN HERE.
