My kids attended daycare at ABC #1 for a total of 9 years.... the facility may not be the most beautiful on the outside, but it's what's inside that matters....my kids received love and attention from the best group of staff members (Ms Bobbie, Ms Ruthie, Ms Maria, Ms Robin, and Ms Abby) just like they got at home....that is what I loved about them....staff members had my babies clean, I could pop in at anytime and mine were always taken care of

I have brought my children to this facility off and on for as long as I can remember 24+ years and I recommend it to any first time parents or any one who needs a dependable day care. I never had any issues with the services provided or the safety of my children. The staff is wonderful and the building has always been clean.
