I have known Mrs. Biagas since 1979 @ Fayetteville State University. She has always had a heart for children. I'm so happy to hear she has finally living her dream job as a Day Care Center owner. She has worked and retired in childcare so she has a ton of experience. She has cared for my children and I was comfortable leaving them with her. Families that entrust their children with Mrs. Biagas would not be happy with her services.
