Noticed toxicity within the center itself

★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services
A couple weeks ago myself and husband toured this center with our baby and was walking through viewing the rooms some looked good and some was in disarray, staff looked upset, unhappy and discouraged, I know child care can be overwhelming but i also noticed it was not from the work load it seemed it actually was probably from a lady I assume was a manager pushing a cart and I overheard her loudly tell a kid GO TO THE TABLE OR YOU WONT EAT. Absolute red flag and noted as we got close up on her she then seen it was a tour and gave a smile, she got further down the hall and I could not help but zero in on her tone and it was not pleasant even with the workers so I get why they were looking like that so I decided to not enroll. Maybe that position is not for her or better yet child care period because she seemed grumpy and mean.
