I have used this provider for less than 6 months
My experience with Just Kidz child care center has been disgusting. I brought my infant child to this center when she was 6 months old. The center left my child unattended during their care. I would call to see how is my child eating and doing and most of the times they did not know where she was and in which classroom or teacher. The staff is very rude and not so friendly. They would answer the phone with an attitude and greet you during drop off time with a frown. The director of this center is totally not professional to the clientele and did not have a overseeing manager during the time of my child attendance. I would highly not recommend this center for your little one to attend.
