Description: Panda Preschool and Daycare seeks to provide a caring and nurturing environment for children ages 6 weeks through 12 years of age. The teachers strive to give children an "I can learn" attitude while also educating them about Christ through Bible stories and prayer. Both programs are year-round and have open enrollment.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

The daycare hired a new assistant director who also doubles as a teacher. In the 6 month she has been there, 7 employees have quit. Being that this is a Christian based facility, she is not a good fit. Shes continually gossiping about employees and causing problems, one would think at a Church run daycare that the work place would be kind and nurturing. There are plenty of other great daycares in our area.
