I've used this provider since 2015, when my first child turned 1. She attended until it was time for Pre-K and had a great time there. I enrolled my second child as an infant and didn't have any issue until she got into the threes classroom. All of a sudden, they don't have enough teachers and send emails saying they are at capacity. This is a regular occurrence. The daycare opens at 6:30a and often will reach capacity by 7a. This has been going on for a while and has caused plenty of parents withdraw from the school. You have to check your email every morning to even see if your child will have a spot that day. It's gotten to the point where I get up extra early to drop my child off as close to 6:30a as possible. Other than this, I love it. There are a few teachers that have been a constant over the years that my kids have grown attached too, even the cook.
