Please DO Not Bring YOUR CHILD HERE!! The
director in this place Brenda is terrible and a Liar including
Martha. my child was injured here and they both assured
me that this injury was cause by my own child and when I
demanded to get the video proof it clearly showed that the
teacher Makayla pulled my child by his arm and caused
him to get a sprain wrist. The staff tried to cover this up. If
your child attends here make sure to always question what
they tell you because they pretend to have your child's
best interest when they really don't. The paperwork that
was giving to me the day of the incident was poorly done
and when I complained the director took the report gave
me a new one with false information she completed it as if
she was there when she was on vacation in Africa and
stated that the teacher didn't know how to do it. I still don't
understand how this center is still open with the way she
operates this facility. Even her own staff (Brenda)
complains on how she treats them and how rude and
disrespectful she is. Parents who are looking to put your
child here again you have been warned!!! God only gave us
one Gionel!!! We need to have justice happen Please
repost this!!!
