I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter has attended Shell's Daycare since she was a few months old; she is now 3 1/2 years old. All the staff, Shell included, have always been incredibly welcoming, kind, caring, and thoughtful. Any concerns I ever had were addressed in a professional and timely manner. My daughter has grown to be such a kind and smart child, and I give huge thanks to everyone at Shell's for helping shape her into the person she is today. I recommend this daycare to anyone looking for childcare!

Very clean facility, caring, attentive, and consistent staff who truly get to know the kids in their care. We have moved 40 minutes away and continue to transport because our daughter loves Shell and the staff. She has attended since 8 weeks old and is now 3 years.

They charged me extra money when my child attempted to blow up the daycare and never told me that they gave drugs to my child. Very disappointing service.
