My son attended this school for one and 1/2 weeks. Center didn’t assist with potty training. Even sent him home with a diaper on from another student, while he had PULL UPS in the facility.
NEGLIGENCE: As a parent this broke my heart. I picked up my child from sweet mom daycare in this condition. Not only did he catch a virus that cause the entire house to become ill. They didn’t even properly clean his face during class or before pickup.
As a cash customer I’m now being told they are unable to refund me for the days he didn’t attend after being unenrolled.
