Report
One of the teachers there thought my son was 4 y/o because of his built and size, but he was almost 3 at the time. The teachers there weren't giving him as much attention as he needed until my mom spoke to them.
then covid hit and we moved. getting information from them/the director was not easy. I asked them for my son's immunization form one time while our pediatrician was away for 2 weeks. but she said she doesn't have it. and i had to ask for the tax receipt because it wasn't sent. and the amount was wrong than what was etransfered. and she is not responsive at all. not very helpful when you
