I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Owner (Michael) is extremely kind and it shows. Goes above and beyond like coming out with an umbrella to help usher in parents when it's raining heavy. Being onsite is a huge advantage since they never seem to close for inclement weather. There are some issues with teacher-parent ratios but from what I understand that is not uncommon in daycare. There could be improvements made to the curriculum and consistency with staffing btwn rooms but it hasn't created a big problem for us. We're happy that they genuinely care for the children and families.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My experience at this school has been great. My daughter is enrolled there now and the owner goes outside every day to take her off the bus from techek. Her teacher has a masters in early childhood education and she has so many great things planned for the kids to do. I'm not sure about other people's opinions but I highly recommend this preschool.
