I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter has been enrolled in this daycare/afterschool program for 2+ years. I am love being able to work full time and KNOW that my daughter is well cared for. The teachers are very kind and very active with the children. The director and owner, Nancy Smith, oversaw the previous daycare that my daughter used beginning with her very first day in childcare when she was 10 months old. She went on to open her own facility and I could not be any more blessed to consider her part of our family. The open concept is one of my favorite things about Developing Foundations. It doesn't feel "cut-off" or "secluded" which I feel also helps the teachers be able to better communicate. I would recommend this childcare center to everyone. I couldn't be more satisfied and comfortable.
