I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Lester's Toddler Center is a WONDERFUL establishment. I was very nervous about having to enroll my child in daycare so that I could work full time but the staff at Lester's are genuinely great people. The children eat "real" meals daily, they learn quickly and on a wide range of subjects and the staff treat the children like family. If I were to have another child, I would most definitely without hesitation enroll that child at Lester's as well!
