I have used this provider for less than 6 months

After Thanksgiving we enrolled our 2 year old daughter in the daycare. They made our transition from my mom keeping our daughter to a school setting seamless. She has already learned so much from knowing her ABC's, counting, learned multiple songs, prayer, and they have helped with our potty training as well! When you walk in the door someone is always there to greet you. They truly love the kids and it shows. My daughter gets so excited to go to school which speaks a lot to us as parents. They have helped our daughter grow so much in 4 short months! We Love our daycare and highly recommend it!!!
