I just toured the center. Its a family-home based daycare center. It is adorable. Im a first time mommy, with a 2 yr old boy.I am anxious about leaving him under the care of strangers, especially since he has been with my mother. These ladies (carmen and her coworker) are very polite, very informative, seem patient. They addressed all my concerns with detail and patience. They stayed after hours just to meet with me because i fot out of work late. The "living" area where the children do activities is a bit small, but very clean, organized. They have security cameras. They have a separate kitchen area which looks emaculate. I am looking forwaed to leaving my child there. I am waiting for an opening. I will wrote another review once i have experienced more.
