My son has been going here since he was 6 months and now he is 3 years old.If that doesn't tell you anything then I don't know what does. The employees are super sweet and there bilingual which I love because I want my son to learn Spanish which is a plus. Since my son has been at this center he has learned so much and as a parent that makes me feel happy. I recommend this center to anyone expecting a baby or looking for a preschool.
Honestly this place has scarred my daughter. Her employees are young and tough with the children. When my child was there she had a great teacher, but when the teacher switched age groups to car for her baby another teacher took her place. From my experience the owner always tried hassling me for money and didn't respect me as a parent. My daughter still has nightmares from this place. Just be careful. Maybe they changed, but I wouldn't recommend
