Very disappointed and upset. I thought since mostly older women worked in the facility that the school would be a nurturing, caring, and compassionate learning and educational environment, boy was I surprised when I found out that it is not!!!! I can honestly say that if they would only conduct everyday as if the state was there, it would truly be a place where I would have keep my child.
