I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Please do your research before sending your child to this daycare. While there are some good employees, the director lacks the competence and professionalism to appropriately run a childcare “ministry.” I will have to live with the regret of trusting this director and the things she suggested for my child, when all along my child was clearly being treated poorly and neglected.
