I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services
on july 21 the manerger in the front stopped me when i walked in my daughter class with a attitude talking about i didnt bring her nothing which i am not suppose too and she not suppose too ask nobody for nothing especially if she the owner. very unprofessional and give people con artist and a narcissist vibe and you have to give here something or always want attention and if you have a speech problem or disability she will try to get over on you and try to embarrass people in front of people. on the 24th of july my child did not come back on the last day to get embarrassed again by the owner. we keep cameras also and we also take people to court with evidence. from MEISHA WILLIAMS.
