Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The staff are unfriendly. They do not encourage positive socialization among the children. Secondly, the children do not go outside to the playground on a daily basis. They frequently sit inside all day without any fresh air. Thirdly, the place smells like dirty diapers. Most importantly, the center is understaffed and the classrooms are overcrowded. The baby room is deplorable. It is a very small room and the children do not have room to explore. This center also does not encourage language development with the children. There is very little interaction among the staff and children. There is a television in every classroom including the baby room and in the lobby. It is frequently on and they frequently sit the children in front of the television to watch videos. If you care about your child's development, I would not recommend this center.
