I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

La peor guardería. Ni siquiera le daría una estrella. Tienen ratas por todas partes dentro y fuera de los edificios. Melissa Saladine NO se preocupa por los niños. Ella es una ESTAFA!! Melissa Saladin es muy poco profesional, le gusta coquetear y enrollarse, hablar y enviar mensajes de texto por teléfono todo el día con hombres casados ??y los hombres que trabajan en los edificios en lugar de cuidar a los niños, por lo que es una mala influencia para todos los que trabajan allí, incluidos Angélica. Tengo una amiga que tenía a su hijo allí y los sacó debido a las infracciones, lo mal que trataban a los niños y lo poco profesionales que eran ella y todos los demás que trabajan allí. Siempre al teléfono y no trabajando ni por negocios. Tenga cuidado con TODOS, especialmente las damas con esposos que llevan a sus hijos allí. Si Melissa no cuidó bien a los niños allí por qué alguien más que trabaja allí cuidaría bien a sus hijos? Ella es una estafa y solo quiere el dinero de los padres.

Worst childcare. They have rats all over inside and outside the buildings. Melissa does not care for the children. She’s a scam!! Melissa Saladin is very unprofessional and likes to flirt and hook up and talk and text on the phone all day with the married husbands of the children and the workers around the building Instead of taking care the kids. I have a friend who had their kid there and remove them out because of how they treated the kids and how unprofessional she and everyone who works there also saw some violations in that apartment. Beware!! Melissa do not take care of your kids well.. She’s taking all the parent’s money and husbands.
