I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I do not recommend this place for any child. Owner is a very rude, unprofessional person. She even ask for the kids to stay home and she can submit the hours to get paid By DCS when the kids dont even go. She call the parents to pick their kids because she want to go home (she said many times) I decided to move my two kids after many issues with her and she also refused to give my kid with developmental disabilities his medication. A very rude person and everyone very unprofessional. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANYBODY FOR YOUR CHILDS SAFETY.
