I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I highly recommend this daycare. My daughter has been going here since October of 2020. She is in the baby room but miss Samantha and Tammy are absolutely amazing and the best teachers for her.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child thrived at this facility. I have nothing but good things to say about Miss Debbie and Miss Lynne. They truly care about the well-being of the children. I would recommend this daycare to anyone!

Woody, the owner/director is very confrontational. He will swear at women/moms and challenge them to confront him at his home if they have a problem with anything he has said or done. He has made threats in writing via email. DO NOT take your children to this day care center!
