The facility is clean and safe but the counselors are TERRIBLE except for one that seems to really enjoy being with kids. The others are constantly yelling and frowning even when Parents are there. Kelsey should be fired she has no business being in charge of children! She yells and puts children in time out for stupid stuff. She has no clue and neither does the other young woman who is a group leader. Kid Connection needs to fire these girls and start over! The so called Director is ok but she needs to retire because she does not seem to like children either.
