I love this daycare! The staff is great and my son loves his teacher. They use fingerprints to sign in and out the child so I don't have to worry about anyone else trying to pick up my son. They have security cameras in each room and it's bright and colorful. They have a lesson plan for each day and they give it to the parent in the beginning of the month. The owner is wonderful. Truly cares about each child and parent. She gives her advice and is willing to help. She recently gave all the parents a $10 credit on the tuition which actually helped when we didn't have enough money. The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes they don't clean my son's face when he's done eating but other than that, they are great!
