The kids are amazing, & watching them flourish is heart warming & makes you feel proud.

The management is god awful & full of cliquey, rude horrendous people. They talk badly about all of the “bad” children & their parents as soon as they leave. no bathroom breaks “pee in the pool if you have to use the restroom,” i was told. disgusting, don’t bring your kids here.
