Don't send your child to this daycare center. Please report any suspicious activities to the police. Talk to your children.
I love this center - my twins are now 3 yrs old have been going there since they are 1 yrs old. Every room they grow in. My twins have learned alot from this center. They love coming here everyday and that makes me feel at peace when I drop them off everyday.
Definitely recommend this center to anyone looking for child care in the whitehall - hokey area.
A great family runned center.
