I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I had a horrible experience with this daycare and regret sending my child. They do not potty train 2 year old, keep the children out side from drop off time to pick up time pretty much, I’ve witness kid on kid fights with no supervision and talking to the own is like talking to a cast member of love and hip hop. She’s full of drama and unprofessional!!! I wouldn’t trust her to watch my dog.
