I am a neighbor whom upon getting home after work was inspecting my vehicle for electrical malfunction which a mechanic was assisting me and a driver of this daycare,(maybe the same as described on the last review) pulled up very aggressively and rude, demanding that we move a vehicle that was parked in front of the establishment. We asked her if she could wait, we had no intention on staying, even though they have no registered parking permit belonging to their establishment prohibiting anyone else to park there. I am a resident and can park anywhere on that street. She continued to be very disrespectful and vulgar. She called to a man who lives at the establishment, which luckily, he and I diffused the situation, however, that driver kept being very disrespectful and aggressive. As a parent, I wouldn't want my child to be under the care of a person that can put my child's safety at risk by getting into altercations like that. There were city workers present as well working on my residence which witnessed everything and were appalled by that person's behavior and agreed that such a person should not be in charge of taking care of or transporting any children.

I’m correcting the first review.

I am writing basically a complaint about this blessings daycare I have experienced. They have directly parked and block my driveway in which I told them they couldn’t park directly in front of my driveway, I also showed them my no blocking sign, which they ignored. Their client has her own driveway. They was very rude saying to ignore me while continuing their disgusting disrespect and this is not my first experience with blessings daycare. Also I don’t understand why they have black tinted windows for their daycare van, it looks creepy to me. I’d give them 0 in communications. They Have No Respect For Others. I have the video showing how disrespectful they are.
