I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter has gone to Care-A-Lot since she was 8 weeks old. She has been very well taken care of and I more then trust them with her and I don’t trust just anyone. They write daily papers every day to let parents know what they ate, when they slept, how many diaper changes they have made (which she is checked and changed regularly) they are really good with keeping in touch with parents! LOVE them.

Two of my children attend Care A Lot. and have for 2 years. It is a great place, and I know my kiddos are in great hands when I leave them. It will be a sad day when they are old enough to attend pre-school, knowing we'll have to leave our daycare family.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Awful place. They have 1 teacher for about 20 kids. They don't potty train or change the babies diapers. They do no learning of any kind and the staff was rude. I quit my job because it was safer keeping me kids out of there
