High turnover of staff who do not all have clearance on file. My children are constantly sick at this place.
This place is great! My daughter started when she was 1.5 and we still love it there now that shes 9. The employees really do care about each child, and always love doing new crafts tailored to their interests. My daughter knew her alphabet and numbers 1-20 by time she entered preschool. I've recommended several friends there, and they have only said positive things to me.
My daughter has been going there for 2 years and from what I see the children are well behaved staff is very nice I seen a big improvement in my daughter from last year to this year with her coloring a and words letters she really likes it there in the 2 years shes been there I only got one complaint but from what I seen most of the staff very patient and kind and that is what matters to me my daughter how shes treated learning and growing
This place sucks. They get fined by the state for to many children & not care givers in rooms. Fined for not increasing wages. Never have your kids go there!!!
