Look elsewhere!! Nov 13, 2018

Please do not send your children here. You will find a place where your children can actually learn something elsewhere. Some of the staff are wonderful ladies, but you will find better care somewhere else.

Former Employee Jun 12, 2017

DEFINITELY not the best! The directors are incredibly unorganized and inefficient when making schedules for teachers, which results in terrible inconsistencies for children in the classrooms. As a former employee, I received no formal training on daycare policies and expectations, and was just expected to be taught things by the teachers of each classroom, who didn't always follow appropriate procedures themselves in terms of diaper changes, cell phone usage, and finding someone to cover their room for bathroom breaks so their classroom was at proper ratio of children to adults. Do yourself and your child a favor and do not send them here.

contradicting? Apr 07, 2014

This is a letter from jenna dated 7/16/2013... " I just wanted to thank you and your staff for all your help with my child while she had a broken arm. You guys are amazing and I appreciate the love and care you give to my children on a daily basis. They have learned so much and continue to learn and grow more and more everyday. It's such a relief knowing that when I am at work my kids are in such great care. Once again thank you soooo much".

Horrible daycare. They do not follow state regulations. Disciplining the children wrong. They bring a 4 year old to a 1 year old room because they were having a temper tantrum. 2 of my children were rushed to the hospital in a 3 month time frame for serious injuries. Very unprofessional.
