I have experienced great care with my two kids at Wades Childcare. The entire staff has been wonderful and works very close with the kids, making them feel comfortable as if they were home. Facility is clean and the owners are great, they have provided transportation for us that helped us with our scheduling for work. I can call and visit anytime. Thanks Wade Childcare!!
