I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services
Lovely owner, she ensures the kids are behaving and I can tell she loves what she is doing!

This place is a death trap for children. Overcrowded, junk laying around EVERYWHERE. toddlers and infants sitting trapped in little seats screaming while the lady just ignored them. ALSO THERE WERE AT LEAST 20+ CHILDREN IN THIS HOUSE WITH NEARLY NO ROOM TO PLAY SAFELY
