This is the worst day care we have ever been to. She is scared of my daughter bc she has epilepsy so she calls me a million times telling me I need to take her to the er. If her nose is running clear she does not need to go. My daughter lost a huge chunk of hair while brandi was on vacation and when I called her she immediately got offended as if I accused her. When all i was trying to figure out is if her assistant noticed her hair missing. She also called DHS on me telling them my daughter is dirty and she smells. My daughter is always starving like she doesnt eat at home. Said that my house is dirty. Never once has she stepped foot in my home. Also told them about a time my daughter wandered down stairs in the fridge. Told them I need to take my children to more dr appointments. I guess I don't take them to enough appointments ??? people can tell lies all they want but God know the truth. And that's all that comes out. But I will tell the truth. The truth will hurt you. For a person to try to get somebody else's kids taken from them is horrible. If the stuff was true that's one thing but I didn't know somebody can dislike you so much to stoop that low. Well thankfully we already had a case bc my oldest daughter had a cut on her face. And nothing that was said matches with anything they found. I won't tell anybody not to go to her day care but be cautious. She also only gave me a half hr when CCIS said I was supposed to be given an hr to pick up my child. And if I didnt make it in the half hr, one minute late I was told I had to pay $10. She gave my child's therapist a very hard time. . She was supposed to help my oldest with homework but I looked over my daughter homework one day and she did the homework for her. It was in a totally different handwriting than my daughters kindergarten handwriting. Have a blessed and beautiful evening
