I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The staff are very patient, warm, welcoming , and its affordable! I love the fact that you can stop by and observe, or "stalk" you child at anytime lol. They encourage and welcome parents to chaperone when going on trips. Mr. Vince and Ms. Crystal are hands on with the kids, and are always approachable, and very professional. The center never smells of poop, or urine, and has a bright clean appearance. Oh they have "Bright wheel" so us parents are always updated with the daily activities, and pictures, throughout the day. they feed the kids "yummy" food or should I say meals! I am very overprotective when it comes to my grandson, however the staff at Dare To Be Different Learning Academy, were so warm, and welcoming, they stole my heart, I feel comfortable leaving my boy in their care. I worked at a center for 6 years so that made me more sensitive to what providers are subject to, therefore as a parent I'm always on point with cleaning out my child's cubby and making sure he has fresh clean blankets and supplies. I would highly recommend DARE TO BE DIFFERENT LEARNING ACADEMY to anyone in search of a great CARING, LEARNING, & TEACHING provider.
