I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Very poor environment for learning and social skills. My child would cry as soon as she saw the sign for the daycare, this was strange for me.My child is usually happy about being around other child and she is past the age of having social anxiety. Then I saw the staff rough housing with my child. Yes, they use physical disciple. Staff had poor attitudes and didn’t communicate well about day to day operations concerning my child. The owner is unprofessional and I do not recommend this childcare center to anyone. This place need to be reported to the state.
