I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been going there for 4 years. I wouldn't trust my child with anyone else. He starts kindergarten this year and he will continue to go to before school and after school. Don't belive everything you read. Mostly people rate these business when they're not satisfied. My son and all the kids love it here. She does so much with the kids and for the kids. I wish I could give this place of business more then 5 stars. Hands down the best pre school and day care. Never had any problems in 4 years!

HORRIBLE Apr 21, 2017
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could give this daycare 0 stars, I would! First of all, they supply lunch for the kids. My child had a very rough time eating and was very picky. At the end of the day they would say "he ate steak, mashed potatoes and carrots." There is no way my ALMOST ONE year old ate STEAK!! Second of all, if my child comes home with marks.. BRUISES all over them & I ask you what happened and you tell me "I'm not sure" RED FLAG! You should be watching the children, you should be writing incident reports when something does happen! Thirdly, my child should NOT be coming home with a full diaper like he just slept a whole night away. &&&& There is NO explanation for their clothes to be sent home SOAKED of pee! This place is horrible. The one lady looks / seems like she is on DRUGS!

Unsatisfied Parent Sep 19, 2015
I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

I looked into this FCCH for my son. I would NEVER recommend this provider to any other decent parents. The owner lied to me and told me she was allowed to have six children per adult in the home which was a lie. She is only allowed a maximum of six! Just because a provider has a license does not mean they follow the law! There were a few other "red flags" during my visit such as barking dogs, seductive outfits worn by caregivers, smoking around children, and just a generally dirty home. Please as a parent do the right thing and take my review into serious consideration!
