This provider spent a very good amount of time with us, but both my son and I felt that she was not truly listening to our concerns. It ended up being a rather frustrating experience where I was not clear on her instructions for everything. Overall, I would not tell somebody not to go to this provider. I don't know that she would be my first choice if somebody asked me.

This was our second visit here with this provider and I feel comfortable here. The provider allows me to choose what I feel is best for my child. I never feel rushed or feel like no one cares.
