My daughter have been going here for the past two years and she has learned so much I absolutely love the staff they are very caring and very supportive. The children have tons of activities to do throughout the day.This daycare also caterers to children with autism which I love very few Daycare's give this service.
THE WORST PLACE EVER!!! AS A FORMER EMPLOYEE IM TELLING PEOPLE DONT BRING THEIR KIDS HERE. THE WORKERS ARE DISRESPECTFUL, IVE SEEN THEM CALL KIDS STUPID AND TELLING THEM TO SHUT UP... AND THEY ARGUE IN FRONT OF KIDS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS.
My son has attended this day care for almost a year. I love this place. The staff are warm and caring people. The kids absolutely adore them. The staff make learning fun thru song and play. My son flourishing with the help of the blue doves staff. Couldn't have chose a better facility. Thanks BlueDoves you guys and girls rock!
I absolutely love this program for my children I have a three year old and a five year old and my children are very happy here. The staff is amazing and the environment is wonderful. The children are doing activities throughout the day. When you walk in this daycare you can see the learning and feel the love that the staff has for the children. My son was not eating well when my husband and I started my son here now my son is doing well in all areas of his little life I absolutely love this program.
Keep your child far away from this day care center! At first I thought this would be the perfect environment for my son who has a speech delay, but I later learned that I very wrong. Each day I was told how great He was doing in school and then one day I walk in and the director of the program (who has a full time job and arrives at the center after 3 pm each day) announced to me that my 2 year old was autistic. I was shocked and sad. She told me that he needed to be reevaluated and that I should say that he regressed, even though he had by all accounts done no such thing. The next two days every time I picked him up, she would fill me in on her own diagnosis of my child although she is not qualified to so! Desperate to get him any help he needed I tried to listen to her and set up an evaluation, but made it clear that I would not lie. Against my better judgment I allowed him to continue attending the school, and then one evening I walk in to find my child in a weighted vest sweating all over! At no time did anyone ask our permission to use a vest! We were never made aware that beats were used! The teachers decided to take it upon themselves to treat my child without asking his parents! The director of this school believes that her experience trumps being professional and having the common courtesy to ask for consent, or even have a verbal conversation before implementing what she believes is best. I feel betrayed and disappointed at their actions.
