I have used this provider for more than 6 months
This center has definitely gone through some tough times. Directors were inexperienced and staff did whatever they wanted. However, there is a great leadership team there and I am glad our family did not jump ship and go to the larger competitor. These ladies really have the best interest our for our children and families.

About the Provider
Our Mission
The director and teachers work together to achieve a common goal by providing the best "home away from home" childcare possible. From the child's first day here, whether as an infant, toddler, preschooler or kindergartener, they will be respected, nurtured, encouraged, and challenged to achieve new goals and ambitions. We will work closely with each parent to combine their child's needs with an active learning environment in order to create a child that has been given the self-esteem and confidence necessary to help them succeed socially and academically.
