Wow…. Beacon of Hope my family and I have used this child care for over a decade and I must say that Mr.Harris and Ms.Lill are the BEST! I give the upmost respect to them because you have to genuinely love the work that you do! My girls they love it there
Very clean and educational. I highly recommend!
Very happy with Beacon of Hope. Friendly and caring staff
Mr. Harris has been on of the most supported person/day care providers I've known. As a grandparent/also single father raising a child, he was very supported, flexible which was very much appreciated. My grandchild was well cared for and the food program was great. She learned a lot and when she was sent of school his ability to take her and pick her up was a real asset to working families. Mr. Harris is A number one in our books. Thanks for all your support during the early years of education of our child. Thanks
