Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues.

This director Cassandra is money hungry she isn't in this business for the love of kids,who can actually trust a place like this, she is wrapped around what the state pays for the kids and when school is out you cant relay on the provider to be open so you can still work... she will close and leave you to pay a babysitter then turn around and charge you for days she closed the center. She also isnt legal to have kids under 5, she even breaks the law to get ccr payments just to complain to the parents.
