I have used this provider for less than 6 months

If u could give zero stars I would so disappointed on so many levels. My 2 year old son hated it here cried in the car ride on way to school said his teachers were mean!!!! Not to mention the few days I picked him up he was soaking wet!!!!!!!!! Everyday a different teacher in his classroom. What a mess stay away from this place if you care at all about your kids. Not real teachers working here just ignorant bodies fill classrooms. Still trying to convince my now 21/2 year old that school is not bad and teachers are not supposed to be mean. Heartbroken over my experience here!
