This is the worst day care I've ever seen the director curses in front of the children and and she always have too many kids there with only one she only supposed to have 9 with a teacher and there is 12 to 14 kids dare with one teacher anytime I need to ask questions she's never available I went to pick up my children and she had took the older kids off with her in her car and I don't think that's very safe and my child says they sit upstairs and watch TV

I had the opportunity of taking my grandson to this daycare. It is an excellent daycare I love it!!! The staff is friendly and professional and compassionate. The daycare is bright and colorful and very clean. They also give the kids truly home cooked nutritional meals in which spoke volumes to me. I have had my granson since he was 2weeks old and I rate this daycare the BEST yet. Thank You Happy Days Child Care
