This was a great daycare and I would still be using them if I didn't move. I was very skeptical about leaving my first daughter there at such a young age, but they cared for her very tenderly and did everything I asked them to do while taking care of her. From 3 months old until she was almost a year, they watched my daughter grow up and missed her when we left. Around her first birthday they asked how she was doing and I knew they really cared about her.
Don't enroll your child at this daycare. The owners are rude, uneducated, ignorant , and they don't have any people skills . They don't care about your children . They are just in it for the money . Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else .
