About the Provider

Description:

We consider it our great privilege to teach the children of America. Children in every sense are our future. Our school is built to inspire and develop future leaders. We try each and every day to inspire wonder and thought, not through vain repetition, but through curiosity, play, and experimentation. We believe, learning is not about filling an empty vessel, but about kindling a fire within a young mind. We believe that children do not care what you know, until they know that you care about them, so each day starts with developing a caring relationship with your child.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son attended this daycare for 11 months. This daycare is not focused on quality child care. Their only focus is to reduce cost by treating their teachers poorly while increasing their revenue. On few occasions when I came to pick up my son there were 30 children to 1 teacher. Sometimes childrens were running around in their classroom without any adult supervision. This daycare feeds kids bean burrito and then these children end up having running diaherea for the next 5-6 days. This daycare does not provide a stimulating environment, there is no emotional support from caregivers, there are too many children and not enough teachers, its unsafe environment -not clean, floors are wet and slippery, its unhealthy environment -staff including teachers and directors constantly come to work sick, activities dont promote mental, physical, social and emotional growth, there is lack of open communication. This is very poor center and has been declining since Lana (former director) left the center.
