I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Where Do I start.... All 5 of my children have gone to Trice Daycare Center. The Education they received and the Love the Entire Staff have shown to my Children would be the reason for me to put Trice Daycare at the Top of the list of ALL Daycares. Both facilities for Trice Daycare have qualified and Educated teachers and Staff who work Very Hard with the children to ensure the children are getting top education. I honestly wish the Daycare went all the way up to college! There is no better feeling then to know that your children are in good caring hands. I have replaced the slogan There's No Place like Home to "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE TRICE DAYCARE".If your looking for a Family Oriented Daycare, your search is now complete!
