I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Family friendly feeling, almost like a home setting with educational curriculum. Teachers love what they do and everyone is happy and helping. Communication is on point. I know my child is safe and learning whik in the care of this school. Children aren't just a number, they greet by names and EVERY child matters. I love the splash pad for my daughter to use to break up the day especially in Arizona with this heat. Naps aren't too long where they don't sleep at home. Also, my child isn't starving when I pick her up. This says a lot to me as a mom of a daycare or preschool child you know what I'm referring to.
Overall I love this school and so does my family. I highly recommend this location.
