What parents say
"I went to pick up my girlfriend's son today from this rec center. He informed me that he had a busted lip. He made officials aware but was told to wash the blood off his lip in the bathroom with water and a paper towel. There isn't a nursing staff, no care was provided via a first aid kit, and the child was the first to tell me about it not the staff upon pickup. Not too pleased at all and the director told my girlfriend over the phone that it happened a few minutes before my arrival. Further conversations will be had but i do not recommend this place for your child if you are looking for"
