NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey wont let parents bring breast milk or formula of their choice once baby hits 12 months. This would worry any parent not knowing the kind of ( unsterilised) bottles they use to feed them and how clean they keep them or if they even care of wash them and what if the baby doesn't like what they feed? NO ANSWERS for such questions from the managementParent Review7y ago
