Clean areas. Inside is kept up well. Have seen certain issues fall through the cracks. Most of the staff is family or friend based which can be problematic. Poor handling of incidents. Owner is not around very much nor does communicate well.
The staff here seems great at first. If there is an issue, they will sit down and work out a plan to fix it. They don’t follow through with the plans though. There is no evidence that they try to solve problems at all.
This center is the best! My 3 year old daughter attends Happy Feet and I couldn't be happier. She has learned so much from being there. She always come home with so much to tell about her day. We are so happy with Happy Feet
This center is excellent!!! They go above and beyond for their children and parents. I recommend them to anyone who wants a great learning environment and lots of love for their kids.
