If I could give more stars, I would! The staff at Kid City Meridian Park is very professional, attentive and caring. Management is approachable and the safety, comfort and wellbeing of every child is top priority. The facility is clean and very well maintained, inside and out. I would rank this center as a top level childcare provider.
