Description: Our philosophy is simple. We believe that as growing individuals each child should have the opportunity to build their own passion for learning. Our classrooms are warm and nurturing places where children gain positive self-esteem as they investigate and discover the world around them.
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.

I would give zero stars if I could. The owner should not work with the public, let alone children. She is extremely disrespectful to parents, not caring and basically looks at you like you are dirt. There isn’t enough room for me to even begin to explain how disorganized this “facility” is ran. The K teacher is great with kids, awful social skills with parents. Doesn’t say hello, doesn’t acknowledge you- it’s bizarre. After an extremely unprofessional incident with Ellie (owner) and the k teacher (her daughter), I removed my child immediately. Teacher was emailed about how upset I was- still hasn’t been acknowledged. No apology. Nothing. I wouldn’t send an animal to that place. It’s old, outdated and if purple crayon didn’t have a waiting list it wouldn’t even be open. My child is going back to English Creek Academy. I wish I never took him out.
