this daycare has a very loving close knit family environment. My daughters enjoy going there everyday. one of them was a very antisocial child who wasn't used to playing with other children. being at this center has allowed her to come out of her shell and also learn alot more (they also do potty training). My other daught came as a newborn 1 month old to be exact and she is being taken care of wonderfully. she crawling pushing up and getting ready to walk, this is wonderful for me because i know by the time she's 10 months she will be walking as opposed to my other dayghter who didnt walk until almost teo. but long story short i love this place my kids love this place the owners are understanding, professional, and they make it seem like one big happy family. I would reccommend this place to anyone who is looking to have their children learn in a small family like setting where they can get lots of attention and care from some wonderful people.
