I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My children have been attending villa for a little over a year now. They have been incredible with my daughter. With my son, he has learned so much. He learned to walk before his 1st birthday, he ate before age 1 as well. They are taking amazing care of him and are doting on him constantly.:) they really take care of the kiddos there like they are their own. My children, especially my son are flourishing and thriving there.
