We temporarily pulled our child from the facility, but after having a conversation with the owners and seeing how they reacted to and corrected this mistake, we have been nothing but impressed since. This is a great service to have in the Sloop. I am a bit appalled at the Sloopin staff for this type of inflammatory journalism. Couldn’t you have just called Mary Sears for the info about their rental arrangement and whether or not they are staying in the Sloop?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-28817952425744876522012-03-06T14:00:49.750-06:002012-03-06T14:00:49.750-06:00I don't understand the relationship between NI...I don't understand the relationship between NIMBY moms and dads and a daycare facility.
