I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Fawn (Aunt Honey) runs a home away from home day care place. The kids are well cared for, fed very well, not spoiled, clean and taught as well. When my kids went on to pre-school, they were acclimated to learning and social activities already. My wife and I wanted to have more kids, just because we love her so much. 8 years since we left "Aunt Honey", we still keep in touch, and so do our kids.
