Not a good place. I use to work here a few months ago and children were neglected and staff left over ratio. Teachers would ask for help and not get it. Do not bring your child to this daycare or the other 2 the owner has in FarmVille and Greenville. It is happening there as well. Diapers not changed, a child fell down the steps and was left there.
