The daycare is subpar. Some of the employees are ghetto , don’t believe me check out their fb pages. They are unprofessional and swear they will return your call, they don’t but they talk about the parents behind their backs. The buildings are old and smelly and the don’t communicate well as a unit , but blame parents for their miscommunications. I haven’t seen an updated review in a while other than people they are friends with. If you are looking for a daycare that teaches good values and respects the parents…. LOOK ELSEWHERE. This family money hungry they don’t care about much else!
I love this school. You can tell that the teachers really care and the facility is always nice and clean. My children love coming to this school and always love telling me about their day.
