Horrible teachers. The worst place i have ever been in child care. They will yank the children up yell in their faces and all because the kid spilt milk or something in that since. The director lets teacher cuss and say unappropriated things in front of kids. Just out of all horrible. This day care should be shut down

Owner response : OF COURSE - YOU WOULD TRY TO SHUN US AFTER BEING FIRED! VERY BLESSED YOU HAVE YOU GONE!
