I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I travel a lot for my job, I am very picky as to who my children are with. I have sent my children to this daycare for many years from 2011-present & the staff was always very kind & welcomed my children with open arms. I Also have always picked my children up CLEAN , happy & with full bellies regardless the time of day! The owner treats every child like he/she is family & to me that means more to me than anything.
