My children have attended sands for many years, its like their second home. Shelly the owner is amazing and my kids love her! The staff there are loving and keep me updated on what my children are doing throughout the day. I can not imagine them being anywhere else!
Some of the staff are mean to the children,don't interact with them and have unrealistic expectations of them; however,the owner is nice.
