I provide transportation for a little girl whose family uses the center. Each day dropping her off I've noticed how the staff is very engaged with the children. Parents are picking up kids, other kids are coming in and the staff is attentive and helpful. There are adults moving, helping,sitting and talking to the children. The center is very clean, bright, spacy, well furniture and the kids are playing and look happy. This little girl happily racing inside so I'll trust her.
This facility did not recieve 5 stars because something was wrong. They recieved 4 stars because they are still trying to hire well qualified people and the owner is seeking near perfection to try and aquire the best. this just puts the staff that is there in a little stress because they are working more hours. but overall the facility is nice, well lit, organized, and clean. the owner shows you everything including the bathrooms and pantry she takes pride in her facility, I just hope it stays that way.
