I worked for this provider in three different locations for nearly 10 years. The Director strictly follows the required guidelines for safety and sanitation. The Center has appropriate developmental toys and staff has the credentials to help the children learn. The Director greets parents daily at opening and closing to up-date them on the child's progress. The Center is strict, but loving and safe.

They hurt kids. The co-owner mike was under investigation. They will slap your kid in the head and pull there ears to get them to comply. They constantly yell at them and sit them infront of the tv for hours. The works dont pay attention to them and there are no camaras or observation areas. There is a two way mirror in the front so you cant see on but they can see you.
This place is terrible! I worked there for 2 weeks and they are so mean to the kids! I actually witnessed another worker throw a kid! I quit and called child services but i see that the facility is still open. Don't send your children here!
