This daycare is awful they single out children that do not behave as robots and call the state in to assist with them. I would not recommend this Daycare to anyone! They have done my grandson awful and him only 4 years old he had never been to daycare before so he has had a hard transition but they wanted to get rid of him for not napping and disrupting others while it was nap time. Sorry this upsets me so bad when all they want is the money and not do the job.

It is our intention that this ministry reflect our Lord Jesus Christ and his teachings in our care for children and support for parents. Our love for children and our desire to see them grow and mature into the persons God intended them to be forms the foundation of this ministry.
