Wow that place was sad! The people seemed nice enough but I tried to be poitive because they were the only ones with openings and I just can't bring myself to do it ;( an older girl was there bossing around the toddler (she was the managers daughter and shouldn't have even been with that age group) some other girl was sick and they mentioned they hadn't called her mother yet and she had been complaining all day. There was a dirty sandbox that they mentioned probably had animal waste and needed to get rid of it (kids were playing in it)..hmm no security on the doors, no cameras..the baby area smelled like poop (get some ventilation) and the whole place was in dark and nasty fluorescent light, I am auprised they're still operation
