After I had my child there for a few years being a picky eater brought lunch with to the center…read morewhich was okayed with the owner. One day I was sent home with a full lunch box. I asked why they didn't give the lunch I was told "oh we are a nut free facility now" no where was it posted and this info is to be posted by state law. I asked well did you at give something to eat? Oh yeah we gave an apple...seriously a child had an apple all day when we got in the car my child was so hungry he/she was crying. I put in snacks that were nut free the male teacher at the time slammed the wrapper down showing me is was made in a nut facility and not allowed. That was the last straw I pulled him out. Terrible place who don't care if children eat or not. To this day my child remembers this like it was yesterday thank God it isn't. I would give a zero star put had to put some thing.

Based on the location my wife and I toured this facility a few weeks ago. We had hoped that we…read more would go with them for both of our children because it's close to home, my office, and the church we attend. The director had forget about our appointment and nobody there had any idea we even had a tour scheduled. We sat in the lobby for fifteen minutes until they found someone to walk us around. While waiting for an employee, I walked aboud the building and was surprised just how dirty this day care is. The floors were messy and marred, the bathroom appeared to not have been cleaned in days. My shoes stuck to the ground when I walked, the trash was over flowing, it smelled like a bathroom at a tavern. I was surprised how much dust was on the picture frames that have their employees photos in them. It's a nice presentation and a great idea to showcase the staff, but it gives the opposite impression. About twenty minutes past our appointment an assistant manager showed us around. She wasn't very friendly and I had the impression that she thought had better things to be doing. When we arrived at the room where my younger child would be in, there was a stong smell of mold. That was a huge red flag. We decided to cut the tour short, we new this wasn't a clean or healthy place for children. When I didn't think it could get much worse, I spotted two employees smoking around the back of the building. The reason I decided to give them two stars instead of one is their pricing is lower then a few in the area. So if you're looking for a cheap daycare, and don't care about cleanliness or the possibility of mold this might be a good fit.
