I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Love this place! They saved us twice now. The first time when our other dayvare kept having to close because of covid leaving us stranded for care. They got us enrolled in just a few weeks. We were at the mill for a few months before going to another daycare in our own school district. Long story short it wasn't a good fit and the mill got us right back in. It will be a longer drive but it is well worth it. The teachers there are all so kind and accommodating when my kiddos are having a rough day. Both of my boys would come home knowing math, spelling and writing that I know they didn't learn from me. So thankful for all of them!!
