Horrible director! A few good teachers left but take your child somewhere else!

Do NOT send your children here. The owner is horrific and has zero morals. She changes her policy’s when something doesn’t go her way. The staff is less than desirable (all the good teachers left) for example, when I picked up my child I asked the teacher, “How was my child’s day?” - she responded “I don’t know.” You get what you pay for and I cannot stress enough not to attend this daycare.
