Staff and Management
The reviews mention that some staff members are good, but there are issues with the office staff, particularly the blonde older lady who is described as rude and yells at children. There is a suggestion that she needs more training or management classes, or even needs to be fired. On the other hand, some staff members are praised for their hard work and making the children feel at home.
