★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
The center director cares more about your payment than she does about your child! SCDC used to be a good place for the kids but over the last few months things have gone downhill fast. Kids are always getting hurt and the director doesn't seem to care. Good teachers have all left because of the way the director treated them and now all of the teachers are people who are unqualified or just don't care about the kids. The turnover rate is the highest I've ever seen so there is no stability for the kids. Overall I just do not recommend this place. Find somewhere - anywhere - else.
