Iowa City Mom, Iowa City, July 10, 2010

The owner/teacher seems to have a lot of activities and teaching materials for students, however this does not make up for her lack of social skills, courtesy, and logic. My child went to her school for one semester and that was more than I wanted (had to find alternate care as quickly as possible). One of the Worst Experiences I have ever had with a childcare provider. Carol has some great tools for the kids, but she is not on top of things at all...
