I used to work there before Beth worked there, and then as well as when she was the director. This I'd the absolute worst daycare I've ever stepped foot into. Unprofessional, the people who did work there at the time were no where close to being qualified. I would never put my child in this daycare, you are supposed to have trust in the people who are caring for your child, this is NOT the daycare for that. If I could give them zero stars I would, too bad it doesn't go that low!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Absolutely horrifying. Under trained staff members. Director and assistant director are never around. Unprofessional, loud and obnoxious atmosphere. I felt uneasy upon touring, but was assured that this facility offered quality care. Within days I pulled my child from the facility. Neglect doesn't even come close to it.
