I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services
I DO NOT recommend anyone bring their children here, the centers owner was very rude and snobby. When I asked questions her replies and body language weren't inviting, so I can just imagine how she would be speaking to my child. Don't trust this building or owner.
