Our grandson was taken out of this daycare. Constantly came home with bruises , scratches and bite marks and not once did the employees know what had happened to him. I picked him up one day and his clothes were soaked in his urine. He had clean dry clothes there. Additionally, they close the daycare down constantly on a whim. Would not recommend.
