Sad Parent

★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
I have used this provider for less than 6 months
I am very disappointed with the care my daughter received. Lack of communication from the school inconsistencies with instructions and the like. I was concerned for the safety of my child. As a parent I was also treated poorly and with great disrespect for advocating for my child.
