I thought this would be a great place for my 5 year old and 2 year old. The facility was clean and looked nice and the director was very convincing about how great the program was. Things seemed ok at first but we ended up being very disappointed with the teacher turnover and the management. I expected a lot more from the facility especially for the cost. I definitely would not recommend this place to someone else.
