My wife and I were new to the area and this was the only place with an opening at the time. Our daughter was 2 at the time and has a ton of energy. The teaching staff she took a shine to right away and vice-versa then the teacher would either quit or be fired.

This is the norm at this location and the director and owner are very standoffish and disrespectful to parents and caregivers alike.  We started to see a trend in the way our child acted due to the high rate teachers would leave or be let go. Often times she would come home with pinch and bite marks on her arms with no explanation by the caregivers or they would blame it on a caregiver that had left for the day. We have found a new facility around the corner that we think will be a lot better for the development of our child.

Do yourself a favor and read other reviews on the internet to get an idea on how this place is run. It’s all about the money with these folks. We still stay in touch with 2 former caregivers that worked there and the horror stories they told the Wife and I will make your skin crawl. They really could care less about your kids.
