Kinda icky. There’s a lot of suspicious things that happen behind closed doors. A lot of bullying.
Benjis daycare is the best. I used to go there when i was little. She is a nice women and a nice heart. There are about 8 children at her daycare. Everyone gets the happiest time at benjis.she is the nicent women you will ever meet. And now that i have 3children of my own i will be taking them to her!.
Provider is kind; however, very particular about low income children who are not allowed in her facility. Only accepts private pay. Tends to be over crowed and too many family and friend visitors from Florida and out of state. Children do not wear mask; also family during business hours. Very scary. Please request camera in the home to ensure safety. Babies are kept in upstairs room and the dog is unruly. Otherwise; safe environment.
The provider is particular and cares for children who are not low incomed. The environment is safe and children will not be harmed; its a social kind of environment; on educational and tends to be over crowded. The number in capacity surpasses 8. Overall, safe for kids.
Ms. Benjamin is the perfect care for my daughter. Extremely Gentle, Caring and Loving, detailed oriented, very communicative, great ideas, but also strict when need to be. She treats the children like her own. Every child is special with her. She is a true blessing for my family. My daughter has so much fun a the daycare. Highly recommended.
BENJI IS THE BEST U SHOULD COME NOW!!!!!!!!!!
My child told me the Florence is very mean to him, the girls are inappropriate, and theirs always problems. Almost every day he tells me that he had an horrible day at benji's. Do not recommend!
Most providers do this kind of business for the money but mrs. Benjamin truly loves kids it’s obvious. My kids never want to leave and feel very comfortable at her home. She treats my kids like they were her own. What more can you ask for?
Excellent care by a loving, amazing woman! My child went there from age 5 to 13. Florence treats the children with love and respect. It is the best possible care for your child. nothing better to know your child is safe.
