Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Hi, I'd like to leave a review for a teacher at this facility, Michelle Eonta. Michelle is completely awesome she was my daughters first teacher ever, and we both love her until this day! My daughter has moved up past two classrooms since and Meechelle (as my daughter calls her) is completely still one of her favorites. I am so appreciative for the comfort i had as a parent dropping my daughter in her care and the way she cares for and teaches my child. Michelle is the epitome of awesome!
