This owner purchased our daycare and is increasing our rates 94% with one month's notice, effectively doubling our cost with no time to prepare...and right after the holidays! This is not Christian behavior. We will be taking our business elsewhere.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I have used 3 different daycares in the past year and by far this place is the best. I have 2 children and both love it there. You can tell how loved they are there as well. I would recommend this place to any parent looking for a safe, affordable, caring center.
