I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The owner is the worst she appear to be a nice sweet person but when it's time for her to take accountability she is horrible my child has been going to her daycare since she was 3month old she is now 3 yrs old and she has autism when I brought a situation to Mrs. Truitt/Laws about how she was treating my child instead of her addressing the situation she completely ignored me and terminated my child and then lied about the reason said it was because of the behaviors of the child and the parent but before I said something about how she treated my child everything was fine but now that i have spoken up she wants to get rid of my child....so if you decide to send your child there please be aware of the fake stuff because I would've thought after 3yrs we would've been treated better
