I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Would not send my kids here.!.! The Staff don’t interact with children in positive ways by helping them feel welcome and comfortable, treating them with respect, listening to what they say, responding to them with acceptance and appreciation, and/or participating in activities with the children.They are not consoled, or made to feel welcome or comfortable by the teachers. Overcharging, and VERY rude people. They yell at your children then denies it, even though you heard them at the door. I have so many terrible experiences with them, but will not post all, due to my own privacy.
