In trying to do some research on different preschools and day care centers in the area. I was SHOCKED at how I was screamed at for accidentally calling Honey's twice. I have a list of at least 25 that I was looking into and I'm so happy I got this response now instead of later. This woman was rude and hateful and I would hate to see how she treats the children in her care if she can get that angry about a simple miscall. If I were the director, id be watching cameras of this woman. Someone like that can be very dangerous to have caring for children!
