I have had my child in this daycare facility for 3+ years, facility is very clean, the staff is stretched thin (not their fault, lack of people willing to work) but they are always helpful! Absolutely love the owner an her love for all the children in her facility! The 1/2 yr old younger teacher is absolutely amazing with her children! So attentive with each child individually! Parents love to see the teachers interacting with the children! I do believe they could use more Learning time in the older classroom, but I'd definitely recommend this child care facility to anyone!
My kids have been going here for 2 years and I cant say enough good things about this place.the teachers are all amazing, and this is one of the cleanest daycares I have seen.
I am an employee and have been working there since March. I work in the office and am not a teacher but I have seen what a great place for children to learn and be loved. The teachers really love the children. The owner really loves each one of the kids. They feed them nutritious meals and they are very well cared for. It really is a great place for children to be loved.
Please don't send your child here , they don't really watch your children , idek why they have 4 stars my child has only been there for a month and her face is beat up , and and the teacher has the nerve to blame her
I wish her would let me send pictures of her face
