I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have used this daycare for 6 months now I love it. They take well care of the children and they give all kids nicknames because of us modern mother give our child these names that some people can't pronounce. Sonya is very respectful to parents children and staff.

The worst daycare in the world. Sonya the owner is rude, money hungry. Call your children out their name, hitting on children. Out for money
