I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child is a student in this daycare. I have no complaints. The staff have been attentive and supportive to me and my child's needs. I have also talked with other parents who couldn't make their tuition payments. According to them Ms Denning worked it. I hope to never fall into that position but if I do, it's nice to know that they will help me recover. While their staff is small in numbers, they are large in heart and compassion. They really seem to love the child. They also take their responsibilities to heart. I wouldn't say that they are perfect but I feel that my son is safe in this facility.

Thank you

Ms. Denning & staff
