Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I was very disappointed with this daycare. During the 9 months my son was there, he fall in the classroom twice, got 6 stitches on his chin and 4 stituches on his nose. And he fall the third time in daycare's playground and got another 4 stitches on in forehead. Safety is a real concern there and seems no improvement. So I pulled both of my kids out of there.
