I love this daycare so far. My son been going here for a month after searching for a great daycare. They are be very active with the kids. My son love it
My daughter started attending this daycare in September of 2016, after she started elementary school, she comes here every summer for camp, now I have one year old son, and he also attends this daycare. Love the owner. Highly recommended.
The worst daycare... I've witness children being snatch on... Thieves and lying often.
Excellent and the best choice I’ve ever made in my life. So professional and I totally trust facility to take great care of my children. I have never had any worries or doubts that my children would not take care of.
