I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I typically drop my grandchildren off once a week and pick them up once or twice . Most of the teachers seem wonderful . Zoe on the other hand acts like a child bully . Every time I drop off my grandchild I am verbally attacked at the door . If they need a supply , there are much better ways of handling things! We must model good , healthy behavior to the children . One day I had to stay with my grandson until his mother brought a new sheet and witnessed her bad attitude toward a child who was having a rough day - totally unacceptable! Do better!!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months


This place is not the place for children. The staff have no clue what is going on. The owner is never around! The teachers are always sitting when you go in a room never helping the children. I picked up my child one day and he was filthy with a runny nose and it had dried up. They completely ignored me when I tried speaking with them about it. They mix the age groups and I have no idea how they manage to stay open!!!! It disgust me to know that two people can run a daycare this way and other people trust them with their children. My son attended this facility and it disappointed me. This establishment is horrible. The program director and her sister are very rude. they feed the kids and dont clean up the kitchen and just leave the food out all day. My child went here and in less then 30 days I was looking for some where else to place him. For the amount I paid weekly it was not worth the paper it was written on, they called me at work to tell me to come change my child, the staff was rude. And my child stated her teacher spent alot of time yelling at her and did not want to return. I would not recommend this center to anyone!!!

This place is not the place for children. The owner overpays the sorry,lazy staff here. The staff are constantly on their cell phones and have no clue what is going on. The owner is never around! The co-owner/daughter of the owner is lazy. Everytime I go in she is eating or on the computer shopping. She makes it seem as if she is working but is just shopping online. The teachers are always sitting when you go in a room never helping the children. I picked up my grandchild one day and he was filthy with a runny nose and it had dried up. They completely ignored me when I tried speaking with them about it. They mix the age groups and I have no idea how they manage to stay open!!!! It disgust me to know that two people can run a daycare this way and other people trust them with their children. My grandson attended this facility and it disappointed me very much. They wouldn't even potty train him. The owner needs to take a step back and find the definition of adequate because it seems she nor her staff know what adequate care means!

This establishment is horrible. The program director and her daughter are very rude. I have worked there and they feed the kids and dont clean up the kitchen and just leave the food out all day. They set rules and allow for their favorites to break them. I wouldnt take my dog there let alone a child

This is a clean, friendly, and fun child care center! The staff is awesome! My 4 year old twins love going! Sanitary & Cleanliness is at its best here! I have had my daughters in MANY daycares and this one is the BEST!! As mothers, we all share the same views on what a childcare should be, & this is the childcare facility that you & your child will love! My kids give the staff hugs & kisses when they leave! My daughters have learned so much! I'm very grateful for this child care center!

My child went here and in less then 30 days I was looking for some where else to place her. For the amount I paid weekly it was not worth the paper it was written on, they called me at work to tell me to come change my child, the staff was rude and gave my husband and I attitude about my childs progress. And my child stated her teacher spent alot of time yelling at her and did not want to return. Her teacher stated my 4yr old was manipulative, come on shes 4. I would not recommend this center to anyone!!!
