What parents say
This center is horrible. It look like the kids are fighting for there lives. They have the kids eating on the floor. The center has no toys for the kids to learn through play and all I heard when I walked through was yelling from the teachers. None of the staff have the proper credentials (not even the center director) they are extremely unprofessional. No lesson plan !! They didn’t have books, toys or chairs 🤨…
