Everyday, your children learn new things. Our unique approach to teaching cultivates children not only academically, but also socially, mentally, and physically. We target the growth of the whole child and not only one aspect of his/her potential. Our curriculum translates into hands-on activities that give children the exposure they need for interacting with their environment, gaining direct experiences, and learning on the first-hand level. We engage them into action because we believe that it is in direct experience where learning becomes more concrete and effective.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

This daycare is a mess. Lets start at the door....the smell is terrible as if this location is not cleaned well enough or the dirty diapers aren't tied tight. The Director Anita is a two faced thief. When my son first started there the lack or organization showed tremendously . He was going there for 3 months and I was not asked to fill out any information. Once I started asking for receipt for proof of payment that's when the director realized i never filled out anything which i had in my car just waiting for her to ask. This just proved they were money hungry. After that there were several incidents of my child being hurt bullied coming home without pants socks other children's clothes and diapers. Not to mention my son wears pull ups! The next issue I had with this center and director was a new policy of a late fee which was fine by me to if i was late i would pay the late fee. This new rule became effective 10/23/2017 I was then informed in March that late fees do not apply to me since I am private pay but i would not be refunded nor accommodated for the mix up. Therefore i requested to speak with the owner the owner did not call me those three months that i requested. Another incident happened where i was sent a text from the director and advised i owed her money for my son to continue to go the daycare. I requested to speak with the owner again the director told me the owner will not speak to me she asked if i would not bring my son after Monday. I would not recommend this daycare to my worst enemy. That director is doing the devils work and is supposed to be a christian! No one should treat take advantage lie steal be unprofessional rude closed off or anything negative to customer!!!
The director has a very nasty attitude when it comes to dealing with an child. She does not know how to deal with multiple mental/emotional issues. Also, they do not feed the children. My child comes home often saying she's hungry. There needs to be a check up done there.
What a great learning environment! The teachers are great and the Director is on point. My children are very happy and are always learning something new everyday! I would recommend this center to anyone. The trips are great!
