This daycare is very small, the kids room are more like closets then actually rooms. They outside playground is very small as well. The owner's assistant "Nicole" is very very rude and is not professional at all. One get's the expression that this daycare is all about the "money" and clearly not about "children" in general. Several times diapers (that parents have to supply) and personal items were taking out of the children's cubbies and never replaced. The staff are not personal at all and several times my husband was allowed to "walk in" undetected and not asked to show ID to pick up our child....even though there was a different worker in the room every time who was not aware of who he was. Save your money and invest in other daycares in the area...there are plenty out there that are less expensive, have nicer facilities and the staff are way more friendly which makes for a much better environment for the children. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DAYCARE FOLKS!!!
