I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Had my daughter in there for about 6 months. Paid cash. Owner is reckless. They make a big deal for any little thing. Went 3 times to get my statement to file for my income tax. Never got it. Owner made it hard for me knowing I moved really far deep in nj. Never got my statement. Kids always getting sick in there. Watch out they all about their money they don't really care about your kids. The owners sister never knows nothing and gives a false statement to this business.Also they say they have Instagram which no parent have they take pics of the kids and never send them to you. They said I would get all the pics of my daughter while she was there and never got one pic till this day.
