Reviews
Our son was enrolled here for about 8 months, starting at 3 months of age. The place was brand new, and we were excited to get our foot in the door as the price was quite low. Although our son's main teacher was fantastic, the place seemed to go downhill quick. The director has limited experience in childcare, and it shows. She has a lack of professionalism, and any thoughts or concerns we ever had were met with attitude and resistance. Our teacher literally sneaked out a back door and around bushes to talk to us, as she was instructed to not talk to us.
