This daycare coming in as a new mom, has been the most life changing for not just my daughter but for myself as well. I trust the staff I trust the cleanliness. My daughter has grown healthy happy and has developed a creative adaptive personality.
We have used this daycare for almost a year, love it and all of the employees. We have had the same daycare workers/teachers in the class until the children age up. The girls also LOVE their teachers. This is one of the best daycare facilities in the county in my option. So many activities, starting young which is wonderful! Can't say enough great things about ST James Daycare!
Average Daycare, experiences a lot of turn around and seems dis-organized at times. Preschool is not taught by NC Licensed teachers, not the best facility around in my opinion.
