I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The Center is a very nice facility with many amazing teachers. I chose this place for stability for my child. The turn over rate was incredibly high, we chose to leave were she has been in a stable non-turnover facility for over a year. I would recommend this daycare with caution for teachers leaving and joining often.
