I wanted to write a review about our experience with Pasitos Felices. We were new to the area and this was suggested to us by my husband's work colleague. As a mother it was extremely difficult to leave my child in the care of another individual. However, this place has been a dream come true. We are so grateful for the love and care they show, the consistency of the staff, the cleanliness, the heart they have for children, and the curriculum for learning. We have only good things to say about Pasitos and could not be more pleased with them.
