I have used this provider for more than 6 months
They don’t tell you what they eat. They told me my child couldn’t attend anymore because he had mucous. Asthmatic mucous and they said I’m too much and hung up on me. Very unprofessional and don’t keep updated with your child for real. I don’t believe it’s enough staff there
