I have used this provider for more than 6 months
My child attended Central until a staff member gave my child a severe diaper rash that has left a scar.

I am an employee
I worked at central for four years . Many MANY changed in directors . The last one in place wanted to wean out the old staff and start her own . She had used the employees she had to her benefit then she called a meeting and cut . She will also lie to parents about their children . She picks on children and will say “their not a good fit “ and ask a child’s parents to pull them out . There is a lot behind the scenes. She over works her workers and doesn’t pay them for it . I WOULD NOT recommend this place !
