Excellent place n staff. Owner welcomed my son in with open arms..when I work late his always tired n fed when I pick him up n that makes a mother happy after working late..
My boys love this daycare we will never get care anywhere else. Its more like family all about the kids we recommend this daycare to everyone.
My granddaughter attends here. She gets amazing quality care here! She is loved by all of the daycare workers!! The facility is clean. There are toys galore to play with (more than what my daughter had to play with when she was younger) the food is great quality and my granddaughter loves it! My granddaughter has made so many new friends, it’s hard to keep count. Unfortunately the highest star rating it will let me give is 5. If This system gave more than 5 stars, I’d rank it as highest as it would go. I would give it an infinite amount of stars!!! My granddaughter is the most capable of hands. So I recommend Mini Miracles 1 million percent!
This daycare is the most amazing place on earth. My daughter loves coming here and playing with her friends. The owner got my daughter to walk and eat much more varieties of foods versus her previous daycare. I won't change this place for anything in the world. I intend on keeping her here until the max. age.
