Description: Learning, Laughing and Growing Childcare Academy's
is based on a set of strongly held beliefs. We believe each child
is an individual with unique abilities and feelings, strengths and
weaknesses, likes and dislikes. We are sensitive to each child's social,
emotional, intellectual and physical needs.
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. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My child has been going here since she was 1, she is now in Pre K. Both her teachers were great. The staff was very family oriented and vocal about the daily activities of my child. I never felt as though my child was in harm, or neglected by Staff. My child is eager to go to the daycare and loves her teacher. The director is very involved with the teachers and childcare as well.
I would not recommend this daycare. The staff are unprofessional. My child always comes home with scratches and no one knows what happens. One parent told me that her child had bite marks and the staff blamed it on a big bite. Another child fell from a high area in the center and hit his head but no ambulance were called to check for a concussion. The director needs to be reported to the proper authorities.
