I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My niece attended the learning center and I picked her up most of the time. I was very impressed the Yvett communicate with the children, and the way they attached to her. Many times I had bribe my niece to get her to leave; she never wanted to leave. My sister said that in the morning, as she mentions Yvett to my niece she will get up with great enthusiasm.

I am an employee

This center really cares for the children. The teachers have a good relationship with the parents as well as the children. The children come to learn, to play, and to smile.

This daycare is terrible. They neglect the children & don't communicate with parents. The teacher at this location talks to the children in a derogatory fashion; yelling and disrespectful. Plus, too many children, and not as many dedicated and caring teachers. Go somewhere else, where you peace of mind will be worth the money spent. I took my son out and it was the best decision.
