I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Lela has been such a blessing for our 3.5 yr old. She has learned so much since being here. All of the teachers really go above and beyond for my child and our family. My daughter has a medical condition and this school was the one that chose to take it on. Before we found Lela we were denied by a couple other places. They met with me multiple times so I could teach them how to take care of her. I can’t explain the feeling we have to be able to just drop her off at school and not have to worry about her. She is so well taken care of and loved. I am so so so grateful to all of you. Thank you for loving my child. We will miss all of you so much
