Awesome child care center! My son has been going to Dayspring ASP for 3 years now and my youngest son will be able to begin this summer and I am excited. All of the staff are caring, patient, loving and have a desire for each child to excel. My oldest son is in 2nd grade and reading at a 5th grade level and I know that a big part of that is from all the help he has received at Dayspring. They do lots of fun activities during the summer camp program too. They have gone to a water park in Kinston, taken picnics at Ft.Macon, gone bowling, trips to the library (to make sure kids are ready for the next school year), Jumping Monkey in Greenville and lots more! Working a full time job I don't get to do as much with the kids during the summer but they ALWAYS have a great summer break while at Dayspring AFP. They keep my kids active during the summer and help them to be prepared for the upcoming school year! Fantastic job Dayspring ASP!
