I was very happy with my experience of this entire facility. I loved the fact that you could not get into the building without a code and that you couldn't get out without pressing the switch. It is a very safe environment. The staff was very friendly and made you feel very homely and a part of a big family. The facility was very spacious and the rooms were set up very comfortably for each age group. I completely loved it

I LOVE this school for my son. They have a big hearts at this school and are always willing to do more. The teachers do work long hours and since they are regulated by the state, they are unable to have a certain number of kids per teacher in each class. One thing that I wish was possible was weekly newsletters according to each class. They do a blanket newsletter each month (that hardly ever goes out until the 2nd week of the current month in which the newsletter is for). For infants they have&nbsp;a good program as well. The only thing you have to provide is clothes and diapers, since they have a meal program INCLUDED with tuition costs, they provide formula as well as jar and eventually table foods. I am not sure if they do it anymore but they did have it set up to where you could log in and see your child on the camera wherever they were in the school. There is also a pin code you use to sign into the school for the door to even open and that is how you also sign your child in. They have a VPK program for the kids getting ready to enter kindergarten and just recently finished their own part of the school just for the VPK kids so they can have their own area. They have a nice play area with those large sails to keep them mostly out of the shade as well as a privacy fence to keep the kids safe. I am so thankful&nbsp;I chose this school!
