I have used this provider for less than 6 months
The service is bad, as a the amount I'm paying and service my children are getting is bad and the food they severed is out of order. Amanda only around when it's time for payments she don't care and the care of the children because if so my child wouldn't had the accident they had.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months
So today I received a phone call from Amanda the head person incharge telling me my 2 kids are being kicked out of their daycare because of another student behavior, and the fact I ask why their feeding children a slice of bread and a orange for breakfast, she also tried to trick me into signing a wavier to remove my children by stating my 3rd party payments would be reimbursed , but 12th and Vliet said she can't do that and my children have the right to be there til June 30th, I'm not the only parent this has happened to, parents start asking your children questions about kid-tasic if they go there, I've seen teachers using Foul language and staff trying to get childcare numbers off people payment cards, after tomorrow when I go up here I'll be calling my lawyer again because this is discrimination against me and my children,they only wanted to get my money and deliver poor service and unhealthy meals
