I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Ms. Kelly is phenomenal. She is patient with her kids and she doesnt treat daycare as a free for all. The kids are in structured, loving environment were everyone from the youngest to the oldest have an opportunity to have their needs met. This was the best childcare decision I made.
