Will review again once we use them longer...
Very pleased so far with this daycare. No problems at all. They even contacted me at work to let me know when our infant was teething and fussy so I had a heads up. All the teachers in the infant room have done a great job and we are so pleased with our decision at this point.
The entire daycare operates much like a family where kiddos all know each other and thrive with tons of daily activities. I have grown to love each teacher who has been dedicated to my children through the years and I feel very comfortable my girls are in great hands. One thing I think many reviewers get wrong is that they don't like the strict rules the daycare has in place....but frankly I appreciate them. Dont mistake that it's important to follow rules in order to keep everything orderly with a bad place. Its just both very orderly and loving
This place has very little supervision on the playground. My kid was choked and hit on a few different occasions and was never notified. I pulled them out and was told I would be charged two weeks tuition. Rev Richie Cole who runs the place told me my daughter was a liar and those incidents never happened. Rev Cole condones child assault and is a crook
