I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter goes to this daycare and within the time she has been there she has caught lice, she has been bitten, her face scratched, winter coat stolen, diaper rash. The employees don't do their job always on cell phones. Kids always screaming running around. When you to ask to speak to the owner sge never calls you back. Had to take my daughter out of that nasty filthy place.

I'm the owner of a kids entertainment company and had my twin daughters at this daycare for about 5 years. My girls loved it. Friendly staff. The owner always puts together big events for the kids such as the "back to school carnival" and the "annual Christmas party". Very active daycare with the kids!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Worst daycare ever, not only is the owner never there, but when you try to have a meeting with the owner and staff they never get in contact with the parent. They are never watching the kids. The kids do what ever they want when ever they want. The staff does not know how to control the kids. They don't help with homework or do craft all the kids do is run around crazy. The staff all on their cell phones. All they care about is your money. OH and now they do not send kids home that have lice so yeah they dont care if your child gets them. I mean I should have known better, then sending my kid to a daycare whose owner bought it using drug money from her first husband....
