I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Not only teenagers are used as teachers/staff, but most of the teachers and staff, including the older ones, have lot of attitude and act without courtesy. The director is the worst, she does not know that when you talk to someone, you need to face them at a minimum and not talk with your back to them. Secondly, she will brush aside anything you express as a concern, comes across as if she doesn't care for your concerns or needs at all. The owner is completely out of the loop on this problem at her school. just not worth the fee they charge. Do a favor to your children and enroll them elsewhere.

Loving Touch is an amazing place and I'm so happy I found them! As a working mother, it was important to me to find a place that would go that extra step with my child in providing not only a facility for care but also a nurturing environment. I could see I found the right place for my baby from the moment I went on the tour. The kids were all smiling, having fun and most importantly the staff were loving and caring. My son started there at 3 months old and is still very happily attending the nursery. My son is progressed appropriately, if not beyond, in his developmental skills and is making wonderful friends thanks to the great environment at LTNS. I HIGHLY recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a positive, nurturing environment for their child.

Our experience at Loving Touch was mediocre at best. I was never able to get a true report on how the day went as the shift changed at 2pm. Kids sleep in sleeping bags on a carpeted floor that cannot be truly sanitized each night instead of cots because it's "easier". There were more fundraisers than we could count and a toy vending machine at the door (I'm not kidding). All to "keep tuition costs down". Bottom line is the care does match up with the costs. After the nursery, we never felt our child was given the attention and care we were looking for. Some staff was great and attentive, but too many were inattentive. My biggest regret is that we didn't make a change earlier.

Loving Touch has been the best enviornment for my child. He is always happy and excited to go to school to see his friends and teachers. I feel that he is receiving the best care and education when I drop him off in the morning. His teachers are truly amazing. I came to Loving Touch because of a recommendation and couldn't be happier. I know my child is happy there because when I go to pick him up from school he cries he doesn't want to leave.
