I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My children have been going here for a year now, ages 4 and 8. They had never been to daycare before this one so I was super nervous. The staff are wonderful people. My youngest flies to their door every morning. It is the best feeling in the world to know your child is in great hands and I truly don't have to worry while I'm at work. They do a lot of nice projects with the kids and they are always learning new things.

Both of our daughters have attend this daycare both when it was kids knees and now. We have loved the staff and more importantly both of our children have loved the staff! The attention and care these kids get in unsurpassed, and we couldn't ask for better even if it was a family member watching our kids. We have never had any issue with our kids going there. Never an issue with staff or with another child. The meals are healthy and nutritious. When we have had special needs such as the change from diapers to undies it has been a seemless transition full of support. I asked my 2 year old the other day how she got so pretty, the respons " Megan makes me pretty see?" And she showed me the braid one of the caregivers had put her hair. PRICELESS!
