WORST DAYCARE EVER
2022-11-24 00:13:34
★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Worst daycare ever! The staff is awful and they do not care about the children. If you want you peace of mind then please send your child else. Mrs. David should be able to run a daycare. Her second daycare at that!

Don’t not send your child here if you child is behind in language or has any delays with development !! The teacher gossip about the child, the staff are very unhappy. There is a new staff member every week, there is no communication and the teacher don’t not corporate with birth to three! I hope this helps another parent .
