My son has been attending since March of 2010 a few months after it opened.  The owner is wonderful and took a great intrest in the children.  They have been working on doing a few remodels since they bought the place and it's looking great.  My son has learned so much and i always so happy to go to school (he is 2 and that's what we call it).  He is always very happy when we pick him up.  I highly recommend. The teachers are nice and carning and are always great with the children.

Children were everywhere. There was no learning. Staff did not appear to have any sort of training. It makes me wonder if they had CPR/first aid certification, or federal or state child abuse clearances. There were not enough cribs for the babies when our family went to check out this facility. THe woman who ran the place appeared to be wanting to get more children than providing a good quality facility with excellent staff. I do not recommend. However, you can always check it out for yourself.
