I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This center has a very understanding director and nice, caring staff. All my three kids have been going there for over 2 years now and I only have positive things to say about the center. I will recommend to any parent who needs quality care.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This center is probably the best I have worked at so far. I have been a child care worker for more re than seven years, working at different centers for different reasons but the day rectors of this center are very nic and treat their employees like their family. even though they treat staff well, they do not let the staff get away with anything that can jeopardize the safety of the children. The director is says things as they are and do not like for people to act lazy and unprofessional, which I am not. I can see myself working here for a long time to come.

Terrible place to work hated the place but loved the kids. The pay was crappy and I was paid out of pocket, but it wasn't a under the table job. The owner and his wife play games they leave you in the building for the whole day and don't care if you have things you have to do they only care about they selfs. I was working her for a month and they jus stop giving me hours didn't say they were letting me go or anything, then when I needed a paper filled out and my pay stubs the owner Hadi got a attitude with me and took his time I recommend no one to work at this place they jus gonna use you to come in when he and his wife have something to do and that's not fair at all
