What an amazing center. My baby was 8 weeks old when she started there. Being a first time mom I was super nervous and felt so at ease with all the updates and sone pictures. When I came to pick my little one up, the teachers took the time to fill me in on how my babies day was. I highly recommend this center. It is excellent and the staff, Director and assistant director are all top notch!!!!
