Oliver Martial Arts Academy — Attraction in Riverview

I put my daughter in the after school program here. It was convenient and reasonable for our needs. In the beginning it seemed to be ok.

I ask her if she is telling whoever is in charge. She says yes so I figure it is being handled. Then someone steals her snack but I was never notified. The final straw today.. I go to pick my child up a little earlier than normal. I go to the door and wait for the woman who rudely tells me my child isn’t there yet. It was 3:00 pm and she gets out of school at 1:55 pm.

Almost an insult about my child as if offended I asked( “ well I don’t know what’s going on there we try to make them Independent but he yells sometimes. “ ).
