I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been attending tiny stars since June. As of teachers abusing the children from what I'm seeing my child has never come home hurt, mind you my son tells me everything someone do to him even as little as saying hi to him he would tell me. Prior to the daycare I had him in before my son was always comming home hurt. My son started there not knowing how to use the bathroom, now he doesn't even want to know about a diaper he says he is a big boy. Vafa really cares everytime I did a complaint she hoped right to it. It's to the point she already know who my child is and what are his needs. I have no complaints about this daycare. My son has been to three others daycare and by far this is the best one. My son knows how to say his first and last name count to ten, shapes, colors, how to share, his abc, he even wants me to read him books and made many new friends!! My son even says bye to me at the door I'm like no baby I got to walk you in.The other daycare I had him in he use to through a whole fit before I dropped him off it was horrible. He love it here!! Keep up the good work Vafa....

My baby daughter has been going to Tiny Stars for 7 months and it is wonderful. The staff is very professional, the center is super clean, the food is well prepared and the staff are very attentive to the children. Also the rooms are sectioned off based on ages...NO MIXING...which is very helpful for babies/ I love it and would recommend this daycare to anyone. The best is the center is culturally diversed.
