I have two sons that have been going to True Care academy since they were 6 weeks old. They are now 5 and 7 years old. My children and I love true care they have been their every step of the way helping raise my sons. From walking to talking to potty trained to tying their shoes. My sons love to go to daycare after school now. They even had a graduation for my sons when they went on to kindergarten. I would recommend True Care to all my friends and family. They are not perfect but they have heart and love your kids like their own!!!

My son attended true care academy for about a year.  Things werent perfect but nothing is perfect.  One day i got off early and i walked in on a teacher hitting my two year old son with a wooden ruler on his bear leg.  I would not recomend them to any family or friends because they cannot be trusted with your child.
