My family used Maggie's Playhouse and it ended with us being told that our child was abused. I liked the Instructor and thought the area was enough for a child to grow but upon us putting our child in this Daycare we have been unable to believe other families have been successful. I were asked a good Daycare and thought it best to never tell someone to put their child in the care of Maggie's Playhouse.
