I have used this provider for less than 6 months
I do not recommend this daycare/preschool for any child. My son went there for a week and two days. Every day I picked him up he had dirt all over his face, running nose, was really thirsty, and often had a full diaper. He was obviously not taken care of at all. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE! RUN AWAY! My son also expressed a strong desire to never go back to there again.
