I give this daycare a 5 star rating for the reasons that follow
* They are great with kids
* Kids like mine actually want to go back the next day
this center is actually not like others children go home everyday and tell what they have learned and it is awesome.
Being a frist-time mother I was very scared to send my son anywhere! But I must say I was very impressed with the way my son is cared for. I can tell that the staff really care about the children, and I have personally seen them go above and beyond. I have taken the opportunity to get to know the staff and I generally like them all. When I leave my baby I have a peace of mind and that is PRICELESS. When he was in the care of a previous center I did not get the same feel. I just want to thank these ladies for the hard work and deication, I know their job is hard and thankless at times. But I appreciate what they do for my child and the fact that I can leave him and be free to move about my day with out worrying.
The owner "Linda" is very nice. There are a lot of children that attend giving the center an over-crowded feel. The workers all seem to fit into the welfare to work category. Uneducated and Inexperienced. In the 3 months that my daughter attended she came home with a hiccy, a scratch that started in the middle of her forehead and came down over the bridge of her nose and down her right cheek, and she had one of her braids pulled completely from her scalp. Needless to say she was immediatley taken out of this daycare.
