I have used this provider for less than 6 months
My child refused to come when she never had a problem going into daycares and was excited the first day, after the first week all it was, was screaming and crying. Teachers would throw her food away, Forced to take a nap, Cockroaches(Which Ive seen In the front office and halls), and Yell at her. I have personally experienced this as I would walk back to the twos room and hear through the walls a teacher yelling. Stern voice okay, but shouldn’t be yelling! As well as walking in with a teacher who has her hand covered with her jacket putting it to her mouth, parents aren’t stupid! 100% believe she was vaping through her sleeve. Pulled my daughter after a week and a half.
