This is by far one of the worst day cares around I highly recommend not using them. Your kids will thank you trust me.

Very poor. I stood there for 30 minutes on picture day watching them work. The director Norma was busy looking after her own kid and spoiling him while he ran around in the kitchen while the stove was on. And the assistant director was only paying attention to her own boy and when he would scream at her she would ignore him. He ran around hitting and yelling at the other kids. The only person I saw doing anything was the third woman. She was walking around and checking on them and if one actually had a problem she would talk to them.

Four years and counting. We love Happy Camper in Lexington. I love that the owner makes herself available to the parents and listens (and addresses) their concerns. A+++
