Julia and her team are awesome! She has a staff of 9 work with 15 kids from infant to school age. She provides before and after care, summer enrichment as well as regualr day care services. I have had two children enrolled in her services, since age 1 month and am completely satisfied with the services and care provided to my children. My son, Ryan, is the child you see on the videos from what he had learned from Julia and her team's tutledge. I do not remember this staff member who worked here 'for a short time' and I know that Julia is fair and far too caring to treat anyone unjustly. I would recommend her services to anyone and if I were to have another child, I would bring them to her again.
Kool Kidz Rocks!
