I have used this provider for less than 6 months

In December 2022. May grabbed a disabled child by the arm while the child was sitting down and said "GET UP LAZY". So I went and told the parent, the parent wasn't going to do anything about it so I did. On Monday, when i went to drop off my child, May cursed me out in front of parents, students and employees! She was so close where i could spell her breath! She would not let me speak. So i went to the owner Jennifer she agreed with May and didnt do anything about it instead she kicked my son out of the daycare!
Another thing is that they are always on their phones and they dont pay attention to your kids!
