I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Both of my grandchildren attended this daycare until they began grade school. I chose this daycare because it's Christian Based and I felt that they would safe their after touring the center and talking to the staff. My grand children were well taken care and I would recommend them to anyone. Knowing they were safe gave me the peace of mind to leave them without having to worry about them all day. My grandchildren really enjoyed going there and they loved their teachers.
