Teachers are the least friendly people I've ever met. I always try to look for the positive but simply can't think of one thing. If you address concerns with director, nothing gets done.
I could give this place a zero I would! The staff and management are undeniably horrific! Unapproachable and untrustworthy are just a few words to describe management and inexperienced with children and how different ages operate and how to deal with different children's personalities is only the beginning to describe the staff. Numerous occasions my children have picked up hand foot and mouth disease, and this comes from hygienic measures the staff takes while changing diapers, I have picked my potty trained child up with wet/dirty pants because of inaccurate bathroom privileges. When approached with these situations management blew off my concerns and said their staff is more than capable of taking care of kids and they are good workers. I highly suggest others to pull out and to find a different center.
