I have used this provider for less than 6 months
This is one of the worst daycares i have put my children in i would pop up during different times of the day and my kids would be strapped to a chair they did not learn anything they also became very timid not wanting to go to day care. Now that i have moved them there happy speaking alot more almost potty trained and all...
