My son currently attends this child care center and I couldn't be happier. Ms. Diane loves children and my son adores her. One time he didn't even want to leave her arms to come to me! I love that Ms. Diane cares enough to make most of the meals/snacks she provides them, herself... from scratch!! I would recommend her services to anyone.
My son currently attends this child care center and I am very pleased with the level of service provided to my son. Ms. Diane is one who truly loves children and it shows in the way she cares for the kids that attend. The environment is warm and nurturing. The meals are well thought out and healthy. The children enjoy learning and interacting with each other as well as independent play. I have gone through several daycare facilities from and I must say this has been the one that has exceeded my expectations.
