I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This is 0 star. This people here are the worst ever. They don’t care for the kids as they should. They allow kids bully other kids. The women in there are scared to speak to us parents. They always get Mr. Josh to speak up for them. My child will always come home sad and mad and bugging me to pull her out of this daycare. They only have one option of payment and that is cash. I don’t ever carry cash. So if I was late that’s their fault you should have another option to pay.
