DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS DAYCARE FACILITY!!!!!!! My nephew was intentionally hurt by his teacher named Tasha. She forcefully pulled the sleeping mat from under him on 07/26/18. When she pulled the mat from under she caused him to hit his head on the floor and bookshelf. My nephew head was bruised and had a big lump on it which is still there. The staff Tasha was only suspended! This is unexceptable, PLEASE PREVENT ANOTHER CHILD FROM GETTING HURT BY NOT SENDING YOUR CHILD HER.
