By far the most professional, organized , clean daycare I have sent my kids to. It’s VERY NICE inside . All the teachers I have met love my kids and are VERY nice . The director stays on top of a lot & is also involved with the kids (which I never seen before ) . Dealing with different kids, different ages , different pers I believe they do their best & it shows as a whole facility. Finding a daycare like this is hard , my kids will not be leaving no time soon . If I could give more than 5 stars I would . Shout out to Stefania, takorshia, Nadine, Kito, Veronica, & everyone else that spends time and help my babies ????
My daughter was sent home with all of her belongings because I questioned her daycare “teacher” about a scratched eye that turned into a black eye. She was 2 at the time. She’s now 9. Maybe things have changed since then but the facility was very unprofessional at that time. She went from 8 weeks old until 2. There were a few incidents of scratches but a black eye took the cake and had I been an older mother at the time, I would’ve taken further action. The owner did not consult with me, she merely fired my daughter an attendee. Very distasteful to say the least.
