My first impressions on this daycare was it was small. My daughter has been there now for 6 months and she has come home singing so many songs. She is 2 years old.They may not be the top daycare, but the people are always friendly and whenever I go to drop off my child the older kids whom are 3-5 are always doing circle time and manipulative play. The kids seem to do alot on the older side. I think they could do some better art work in the younger rooms, but they obviously do lots of games, singing, and dancing. My daughter has learned so much within the last 6 months because before she was at home with me.

My son attended this daycare for approximately one year. Before enrollment, I made sure to ask them how they dealt with potty training since he was coming up on that time. They assured me they work with parents and children and do whatever they can to ensure they are following the same guidelines that we use at home to make potty training successful. Well, the more accurate statement would  have been that they do whatever they can as long as it fits in their every two hour schedule! He would come home multiple times a week with a bag full of clothes that he had peed through that day. When I asked what the problem was, I was told "well, I have 5 other kids to take care of, if he doesn't go to the bathroom when I take everyone else, then he has to wait for the next time"! What 2 year old do you know that pees on a schedule?! and don't try talking to the executive director about it either, because all she does is argue with you about it!

The other bothersome quality about this daycare is that they never clean their toys! The kids play with them all day and the girls just close up and go home...not sanitary!!! My son was sick constantly while attending this school...and magicall, we switched him to a new daycare and all better!!!

I would never recommend this day care to another parent. Other places may be more expensive, but they are clean and helpful as well. I'll pay the extra 30- bucks for my child to be well taken care of!
