I have used this provider for less than 6 months
This place should be shoot down. The owner Chad Walton, does not care about the safety of the babies, he just cares about the money. I warn everybody. Please dont take your children in this horrible place!!! The director Nikki does not follow any of the safety rules, this horrible women just cares about covering the dark secrets of the most terrible mistakes that some of the called teacher commit against the babies.
