This day care is the best school in Gloucester Co. We just moved to this area. We looked at so many schools and this one is the best school. All of the day cares tuition are approximately the same amount. The classrooms are very large for the children to move around. They have a large gym and a very big playground with plenty of grass for the children to run and play. The staff are very friendly and seem happy working here.
