I have used this provider for more than 6 months
This is a great daycare and my daughter really enjoys it! She enjoys the arts and crafts projects the most and taking trips to the local park in the summer afternoons. She loves miss Sophia, who is kind, caring and nurturing. I couldn't ask for more. When I leave my daughter in her care each day, I am at peace with knowing my daughter is well taken care of and enjoys being there.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Linda Jean Learn and Play Center is a warm same environment that my children loved going to. I appreciated the professionalism that the owner demonstrates. Not only is the daycare a safe place the staff have taught in the public school system. what my kids love the most is the home-cooking and technology.
