I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This daycare is mediocre. It’s essential a large babysitting center.
The staff is not educated on early childhood development. Most of the toys are plastic and do not encourage interaction or language. The art “projects” are all generic and do not allow the children to be creative (most are hand and footprints with faces drawn on them or little phrases).
My child went there for over a year.
There is no encouragement or challenge for the children to expand socially or emotionally and a lack of focus on developing skills in language and communication. There is a big focus on making children sit in a circle for long periods of time to be “taught”. Not a realistic expectation for the age group.
The owners and director are condescending and quick to be defensive when issues arise. They are not willing to work with parents and there is a huge lack of support for the families and children.
The center is clean and they will keep your child safe, but those are the only “pros” to this center.
I wouldn’t recommend.
