Description: We are a new, family owned and operated childcare center. Our children and grandchildren will be learning and playing alongside your child.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

I worked at this facility. They claim to be a "new facilty" that their grandchildren attend. But I can vouch its been at least 10 years since I worked there. In my experience, they treated my child less than, when she was sick. Like I was supposed to drop her bc others' were more important. While at the same time I didn't want others to get sick. In my time working there, I witnessed admins cursing at children. Children that were in the news, who were obviously going through major emotional and mental trauma at home. Threatening to call MAJORLY abusive parents, whom now are imprisoned for murder. Other children who I witnessed being slammed down on the floor in the hallway, in the pre-k class. I have never been so heartbroken to work for a center like I was this one. I grew so attached to the children in my classes, just to think they were moving up to teachers and owners that really did not care about their well being. The same owners and administration runs this place. Just please be super selective when making these kinds of choices for your children (especially those that can't speak for themselves) All these people care about are their income. I can promise you that.
