I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been with this center since he was newborn to 2 1/2, and the director has targeted me the whole time. My son was bit 5 times in one wk, the marks were still there when we went to the pediatrician and we documented it. So if son ever threw a toy or hit(after what he went through could be his way to defend himself), she tells me its a learned behavior, NO, we at home don't go around hitting each other. I worked with kids for 10 yrs, kids hit, bite and throw toys. And she's the professional with degrees and kids of her own, she knows nothing about children. She lies! Employs pot smokers. She's made me feel Luke the shitiest mom because I'm a single mom of two children, saying if I can't afford to send my child to school with lunch,maybe I should change centers.never have i had an issue sending my son with food, I send healthy lunches. If your not made of money,married, with a nice house and car....your nothing to her! She made me feel horrible recently, very mean to me! The center is always sending out emails about viruses and stuff going around the center, my son was constantly sick and it would go away and come right back. I'm so happy we found an amazing center. The director is involved in state programs, its all a front. She's a horrible person and the center is not ran correct,so not together
