"When we started for the first two weeks only the male owner was there. He was very understanding and patient with my highly excited 3-year-old. The male owner is so nice, but that woman...IS HORRIBLE. She lied about what time my daughter started her class then ended her class early. My daughter is a spirited 3-year-old and it was obvious she was tired of managing her. She came over and talked to my husband and me like we were stupid and with the nastiest tone and never even introduced herself. That was the first time she had been there in 3 weeks. I will say the daughters who instruct the 3-y"
