I pulled my kids out of there after being turned away too many times. I paid a month in advance full price (no ccis) every month and I would be told they’re understaffed and they cannot accept my child at the time of arrival 8-9am. I understood being understaffed but for me to not be notified in advance was the last straw. Teachers we’re nasty and trashy. There are a few good teachers there and Rache was the only reason I continued to keep my children there. She tried to assist as much as possible with my kids being turned away and I thank her for that I almost lost my job messing with brightside
