I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The only award this place deserves is an award for allowing “teachers” to abuse children. As of last week, the parents of a child attending their daycare was being abused by 2 teachers. They have been bending her fingers back, aggressively pulling on her and shoving her. Not only has she been physically abused but mentally and emotionally. These children are our future and when left in people we trust do not expect that they will be harmed, especially by a teacher! Someone to aid in teaching us life lessons and making us knowledgeable about all subjects of life from infant on up! These teachers need to be fired, stripped of their credentials, jailed, fined and this place needs to be shut down for condoning such behavior. Every media outlet and avenue will be notified! How many other children have been harmed in their care. Yours could be next! This is not what KEYSTONE STARS PROMOTE! JUSTICE FOR JOURNEY
