I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I was excited to have found a nice center in the area, but was completely disappointed after my son attended the school for only one week. The administrative staff seemed unorganized and had poor communication skills. I felt like the staff tried to isolate my son and I feared it was or will turn into mistreatment. My final sign was when my husband picked up our son and he had rashes all over his body and no one cared to call us! Personally, I do not believe in taking chances when it comes to my child’s safety and I pulled him out immediately.
