We appreciate that there are NO televisions, shaded outdoor play areas, nutritious meals, and staff that are genuinely concerned with our children's wellbeing.  The few concerns we've had were addressed promptly.  The one big concern was that it was taking them 3-4 weeks to cash a payment check.  We now pay with cash.  This is head and shoulders above every other place we've seen.  It's pricey, but worth it.
