  • This daycare center is the most unprofessional establishment I’ve ever experienced while carrying for children. Within the last month I have dropped my son off at school with no one to receive him ; no note or explanation. It’s extremely disheartening for this type of behavior to exist among professionals who are responsible for developing the minds of our youth.
