This is by far thee WORST children's center I have ever been to! I recently tried to transfer my 4 almost 5yo son and it has been almost 2 whole months with no help at all. The starf there really needs to help out more. This place deserves a below negative star. Ridiculous! Do NOT recommend this place to anyone! 👎👎👎👎
