Worst experience we could've possibly had!!! -Health & Safety Issues, HUGE RED FLAG!!! -Multiple Times with BROKEN AC and super HOT for kids. -Constantly shifting rooms blaming building owner over self. -Refused to return first week care and deposits when they provided terrible care 1 day. Claimed it was noted in the handbook....which they didn't even send to us until AFTER we were leaving them. -I can't say this enough....RUN FAR FROM THIS SCHOOL IT WAS HORRID AND I WOULD NEVER RISK ANY CHILD IN THEIR CARE!
