I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I'm giving the MAC program 2 stars strictly for the wonderful program "teachers"/grade coordinators but the management for the MAC program is where the lack of a high rating occurs. On more than several occasions myself and other family members who pick up my child have dealt with incredibly rude, crass, and inexcusably loud management. There's one MAC program leader who on almost every occasion I have to speak with her or someone else does she's never been nice. My child states that none of the staff have ever been rude to them personally but her interactions with parents is never good. Her tone is always clipped when talking with parents as if their presence or questions is causing her a headache. The MAC program at other Madison schools my family has interacted with (I.e. Rose Lane and Traditional) has been 10star quality. It's really disappointing to have this daily horrible experience with Madison #1's MAC management because we've always loved the MAC program before this school year.
