Reviews
This is the absolute worst place to send your kids. They have 8 and 9 year olds in some rooms with our 2 and 3 year old babies. Some of the teachers slap the kids around, bend back their fingers and abuse them. The owner is never there. Who are you leaving your kids with from 6-6 is the question? Keep in mind there is 1 homosexual male with our boys and girls all day. If you drug test them you will need to re-hire.
