I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Terrible! The owner Narda I believe her name is, is so unprofessional and rude. Just a nasty person. I did not feel like my child would be safe or properly cared for at this location. Also, the location seems more like a residence than an actual day care. I do not recommend!
