I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Omega was the most conscientious, patient, compassionate, caring person who brought my daughter much love and joy during her years while she received childcare. I miss those early childhood days when I was greeted with a smile and/or a hug from my daughter and Omega. Omega and her family are a wonderful asset to the childcare industry.
