I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Do NOT put your child in this day care facility! I’m not here posting a review because someone hurt my feelings or because I didn’t like one thing. This facility is NOT safe and very few of the staff actually know what they’re doing! The site is unsecured should someone attempt to break in and do harm. My son was always upset at drop off and I always brushed it off as him not wanting to leave me. It was way more than that! He has done a 180 since starting his new day care.
