For many years my grandchildren have attended Vamonos. We love the owners n staff. The owners and staff are very friendly,caring and clean. We never had any issues. I highly recommended.
We visited several daycares in the area, and VAMONOS by far was the best place! They continue to exceed our expectations, and we couldn't be happier to be a part of VAMONOS. The teachers are lovely, the program is so diverse, and the owners are really hands on. They accepted our subsidy and do not charge anything extra like other places do and shouldn't. They include healthy snacks, and my daughter enjoys the music, dance, fitness, and yoga programs included. Thank you VAMONOS!
