I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I am a single mother who had a babysitter for my son for two years and a half. This is the first Day Care that my son attends as a three year old and I could not be any happier! The process to enroll him despite the pandemic was smooth and the staff is very friendly. The head teacher and director have closely worked with my work schedule to provide my son with the necessary care. He loves going to the Day Care. Each morning, he happily goes in without hesitation. He even tries to get the staff to leave with him when I pick him up! Despite the staff and director being friendly and loving, the Day Care is extremely clean and organized. They follow the pandemic protocols very closely. I also love all the activities and learning opportunities they provide my son with. He surprises me with activities I never knew he can do and that is because he has an amazing teacher! He has learned in a short period of time many things like the colors, numbers, his five sense as well as how to behave in a classroom like setting! They also have fun activities like finger painting and even Apple picking! I am filled with joy and can be at peace when my son is at their care. If you are looking for an amazing Day Care, The Royalty Academy is the Day Care for you and your child. I highly recommend this Day Care.
