I do not recommend this daycare if your child has ADHD. They are very low staffed and are not equipped to handle a child who is considered “excessive”, which if your child has ADHD, it is considered that. I had to pick her up on more than one occasion because she wasn’t “listening” so I hope your job is very lenient on you leaving at any hour of the day. Only two of the staff are friendly and welcoming and the rest kind of stare at you and look like they hate their lives in the mornings whenever you drop your kid off. It wasn’t something I expected from a church childcare. I was highly disappointed in my experience with them and my daughter didn’t receive the care she needed due to their lack of ability to handle more than a few children at a time.
