Makeda Mckenzie · 5/5 on Google · 2 years ago

This place should shut down they have no patience for kids. I have a 3 years old son and the sister kicked him out without any warning at all. Reason why they kicked him out because they can't handle his behavior they did that to my daughter last year and I took another with my son and they did it again. So if all day care were like them they'd no way kids would of been able to learn. I hope you guys this this view…
