This place is the absolute best. The care they give is above and beyond. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. All of the staff are down to earth and professional. My son has been there since he was 3 months old (he is now 3.5). Highly, highly recommend!
If I could give this place 0 stars I would!! Me and my child never felt welcome from day one and every day when I pick my child up not only do I get attitude but they nit-pick at EVERYTHING! From what I pack for my child's lunch to the fact that he cannot wipe his self without help (he JUST turned 4yrs old) stating "the teachers in that room don't like to get their hands dirty"!!!! R u serious?? Then your in the wrong profession!!!
