I have used this provider for less than 6 months
The care givers sometimes snap when asked questions. The center also engage in morning devotions without considering the fact that not everyone comes from a Christian home or hold similar beliefs. This is a big thing for me so I am taking my child away from the center as i am concerned about what my baby is exposed to at an early age. The manner of approach of the caregivers on some days are not acceptable. I cannot continue to leave my child in such environment.
