Sub-par childcare. Poor supervision. My child was allowed to be bullied by both staff and other children. Continuous sunburn despite sunblock provided. Very slow response to communication attempts. Any complaint made seemed to be taken out on my child with continuous write-ups, including giving staff a "dirty look". Child was upset on daily basis and was developing low self-esteem. Child now in new care and doing beautifully! Don't send your child here if you can afford not to.

Sometimes I think the teachers need the naptime more than the students.
