Best childcare in the area. I have a 14 year old who attended years ago and when I had my last 3 children I brought them here as well. My now 2 year old is currently attending and we she is doing so well. The staff do their best to keep the children well and prevent the spreading of germs. The facility is beautiful. I tried another center closer to my home and my daughter cried every morning. Not anymore. She loves going to "school" now.
Ms. Sharon is a very nasty person, she kicked my kids out the center for no reason. I told her when my kids first started she may 3 year old may be delayed. She literally complain about everything my baby did. She complained about writing on the table I asked to replace the table. She declined. She than didn't give my babies a snack for no reason. Such a weird person and she discriminates against children. It's her way or nothing, she doesn't want you to disagree with anything she says. Please please please watch your kids at this center.
