Description: Our mission is to nurturing and help children to be confident, responsible, creative, cooperative, and resilient individuals. We follow the DAP (developmentally Approprieate Practice) standards set up by NAEYC (National Association for Education Young Children) as our philosophy.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My children have been coming to this daycare for many years!!! They love it and have never been in grave danger. I believe they deserve more of a chance to show people that situation was false! Come on folks lets this facility a break!
How is this place still open when a child can be bitten 25 times? That’s pure neglect. Disgusting.
Don't send your kid here. Kids come home covered in bite marks.
What of Alice Martin's daughter who received 25 bite marks in one day at your facility? Reported on Foxnews, Newsweek, and the sun.co.uk
Horrible daycare do NOT bring your child here. A child was bitten 25+ times and left with horrific wounds. The staff never notified the parents when it happened or when they picked their child up. If I could post the pictures I would
Great School! Lots of individual attention and personal devotion to children. Great staff.
