I traveled from Djibouti to Ethiopia then to Brazil and made my way up to the US stopping in several countries on the way. I’ve used daycares in many of them and can say this daycare is the best one I’ve used.

This place is concentrated camp for kids.

My kids go here and are well taken care of. The are in full compliance with the state so I was shocked about the response from the person above. The care my toddlers gets here is unbelievable. I have went to many centers and I’m so happy to find this place. It’s so clean, they are in Covid compliance, and the toys gets get cleaned daily. I am surprised how they care for my kids like they are their own. The teachers are so kind and make sure that my kids get a good education.

This business is runned by a thief.
Kids don't have the minimum toys.
People get pay under the table.
I don't even sure how they are in business.
Wasting tax payers money
