I was here years ago when my parents were going through college. I broke my arm in the front playground when I was completely unsupervised since everyone had left for a water break and didn't check to make sure I was inside. I was 5 or so years old when it happened. I had jumped off the playground equipment to get down and I landed wrong and hurt myself. That could've happened even if they're had been adult supervision, I understand. But I was left out there crying on the ground waiting for someone to come out. I was out there for several minutes, probably up to half an hour. Perhaps this place has improved in the 10+ years its been since it happened, but I'll never have fond memories of this place.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

When I stopped in for a tour some months ago, there was food sitting on a tray in the hallway from what appeared to be breakfast (this was about 4:30pm), and when we walked into the toddler room, the teacher was actually watching a video on an iPad. Unbelievable. The staff member leading my tour just turned the video off and said nothing. If this was some kind of training, or educational video, or even something educational for the kids (which is nuts - toddlers don't need to watch anything on an ipad while at daycare), I would have at least listened to and considered one of these explanations. But a teacher in a room of very young toddlers, distracted by watching a video, I can't get behind. I would never send my child here.
