I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I felt I needed to write this review so no other child will have to go through what my grand daughter did. She is 3 1/2 and the DIRECTOR placed her in a baby crib in a dark room alone as a discipline. This director just took over her position the first of this year. Needless to say, my grand daughter is no longer at this facility. Parents, please be ware of this one!

One star because it doesn't have the option for negative stars. This facility is nasty and gross. Daycare workers walk around barefoot and others in flip flops and open toed sandals. The floors are filthy and there is no safety gates or ways for children to not get out of the building when left unsupervised by staff. PARENTS BEWARE THIS DAYCARE IS detrimental to the health and safety of your children.
