The staff are GREAT. Facility isn’t the Hampton but they treat the children well.
The STAFF HERE are very poor and do not care about children’s safety. My daughter was here and came home with scratches! Immediately called the center as well as children and youth
This dirty ghetto, unprofessional establishment need to be shut down. Hardly any toys for this kids to play with, what’s there is filthy. Owner is completely unprofessional & has no business running a day care. I had to send my children here out of desperation, needing to get back to work. I made the wrong decision. If you care for & love your children, DO NOT send them here.
