My son has gone here since he was 4 months old and we couldn't be happier! They go above and beyond the call of duty for their kids. My son learns new things daily and there are days he doesn't want to leave when it's time to pick him up! I am a nurse and the hours are great! The do not delay due to weather and only close unless it's a state of emergency. Great place the instills great values and morals as well as an outstanding education! Looking forward to his preschools years here!!
