Joshua Kurian, you must have us confused with the Learning Essentials Childcare in Texas or another facility. I have no idea who you are & we are not a center. We are a in home NYS licensed childcare located in Saratoga County, NY. I would appreciate it if you would remove your review.
Laura SnyderFeb 7, 2025The kids here were quite respectful; almost too much respectful in the face of the staff. The staff don’t know the learning essentials and it’s almost as if the kids are doing the teaching. Ngl Its kinda funny but y’all gotta get ur act together.
