I went in recently and was immediately addressed with a super rude tone from this owner. She's evasive and short tempered. Think she needs to get out of the business or get out of the business. People should feel welcome in this particular type of business, kindness and intellect can go hand in hand. Needs Jesus for sure.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I completely disagree with what Sadie says. There is always somebody there that definitely use a great security program with walkie talkies to keep visuals on all children no matter where they go from the bathroom to the front door to the classroom. Though I've had her in four different schools, this one has been the favorite that my daughter absolutely adores She loves her teachers and they have take-home projects that are amazing and they do pictures every year. Good school!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My 3-year-old attended here for about a year and was always sick. The director was extremely rude and intimidating. At one point she told me she was friends with the inspectors and they would always give a passing rating, sometimes without actually inspecting the place. HUGE red flag! When my friends started taking their child there (even after our warnings) they liked it at first but eventually saw what we did and took their child out too. I wouldn't recommend this place to ANYONE! There was no real security either. A lot of times when we walked in there was nobody at the front desk and the door to where the kids were was wide open. ANOTHER HUGE RED FLAG!! In my opinion parents should find another place for their kids because this one is not safe.

I've known them for 9 years, since my daughter was 3 years of age. Since then I've enrolled my son age 8 now and my 2 nieces and 1 nephew. I recommend them with a 5 star rating. They're wonderful!

This school is excellent, it has a flawless record with state for inspections which is one reason I chose it. I have had my sons there for over 2 years and they are like an extended family. Warm, loving environment and top notch curriculum. I am extremely happy to have found them.
