I had my children enrolled when that horrible stuff happened 3+ years ago. That did not make me question the level of care they have for my children, I just wanted to see it fixed so it could not happen again. The problems were resolved and obviously the teacher was fired. My guess is the people who rated a one star have never been there and experienced the center themselves. Staff continuously and happily adjust to my family's ever-changing needs when my previous centers would not. I would recommend families looking for care to take a tour to meet the people and form their own opinion. Love this place!
I cant see my children attending any other center but this one. I make a 30 minute trip daily just so my children can continue being in their welcoming environment. I am very grateful for the way they involve families and keep us as a main focus!
This daycare always goes the extra mile to take care of my children. They are super attentive and quick to fix ANY issue that comes their way. I have seen many positive changes in this facility in the last year. They stayed open during the pandemic as well and made sure everyone was safe and healthy. This was so helpful for me because i still had work. No one that i know of was sick during that whole time. I suggest this daycare to everyone!
Staff is considerate, friendly, and inclusive. The facility is clean and organized. I appreciate that the staff always goes the extra mile in welcoming and including my special needs son and working with and around our schedules.
Terrible place that gives child care a terrible name. One of the teachers got arrested for dealing drugs out of her car on the premises! Not to mention a child escaped the daycare without being noticed and was found walking on the highway! How is this place still open?!
Kid walked out of the facility, unsupervised, in the pouring rain. 1 adult watches 2 rooms full of kids during naptime. Complete stranger pulled over to rescue kid; thank god they weren't a pedophile or kidnapper. Child was found on the side of a highway, and wasn't able/old enough to communicate who they were or where they came from.
