I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I honestly cannot believe some of these reviews. I went to this center because it has been in business for over 20 years. No way could that have happened if they were not as stand up and fantastic as I believe them to be. They love the children. They care so much for them and treat them like they are their own. My kids learn more and more everyday. At 3 years old my daughter can identify all the letters of the alphabet, count to 50, write her name and so much more. This is because of the hard work they do. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone at anytime.

I remember coming here as a kid. All I can remember is all the horrible things that happened there. At nap time, I sucked my thumb because you know, I was like THREE OR FOUR. So to stop that, they made me put my blanket over my head. When I found it hard to breathe (later found I was asthmatic) they would yell at me for taking the blanket off my head, even though I couldn’t breathe. Even if I made a small hole to breathe they would get upset. I also remember them encouraging kids to make fun of other kids when they got in trouble. Like yes punish the kid if he’s done something to deserve a punishment, but public humiliation and taunting is not what he deserved at all. You may be thinking, “This was years and years ago when you were little, aren’t you too salty about all this”? YES, I am salty that I and a bunch of other kids were mentally abused.

My kids have been coming to this center forever. I love it. They do so much with the children. There are daily lessons to make sure all kids are ready to go school as well as daily hands on art projects. The fieldtrips are the best too. On of the biggest pluses othis facility is they way they teach the kids respect and manners and expect nothing less than please, thank you, yes maam.... since this is a dying subject for todays kids I find it wonderful!!! Will never change!!

This has been one of the BEST daycares I could have ever enrolled my children. Everytime one of my children were to start kindergarten they were not only ready they were ahead of the rest of their class. The children are cared for and loved by the staff as they are their own children. The parents are greeted with a good morning every single day annd the staff always makes sure to speak every night at pick, unless of course the parents are being rude and on the phone. The children are taken on multiple fieldtrips a year and whenever the parents, myself included, have needed anything the teachers go above and beyond to acccomodate us. The one fault I have is the staff at times can be too nice and too many parents do not appreciate them and leave owinng tuition which makes it harder on the next family. This place is FABULOUS and you would be super luck to have your children here!!!

Very disappointed in this facility. I honestly shouldn't have given them a star at all. The staff were extremely unprofessional. My child was came home telling me about conversations overheard from the "teachers" which were completely inappropriate. My child even told me that one of teachers actually struck a toddler!! The teachers never greeted me upon entering and never cared to tell me when my child would get hurt. I am so glad my child does NOT attend this facility anymore. It was the best decision I could have ever made. Parents steer clear of this facility. PLEASE!!! Rude & Unprofessional! And they do not teach children.
