I can’t say enough good things about Blue Skies Daycare! When my son first started, he really struggled with using the potty. He was nervous and hesitant, and I was worried it might take a long time for him to fully transition. The staff at Blue Skies were incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging. They worked with him consistently, creating a positive routine and celebrating every little success. Thanks to their dedication and gentle guidance, he is now fully potty trained! It was amazing to see his confidence grow week by week. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they give to each child. If you’re looking for a daycare that really partners with you in your child’s growth, I highly recommend Blue Skies Daycare!

My son started coming to Blue Skies at 10 weeks old. He is now almost 2. As a parent, I was very skeptical when it came to putting my son in daycare, but this center is not only trustworthy, but the staff is absolutely fantastic & has made us feel so welcomed. They keep parents updated throughout the day through an app with pictures down to the food they’ve eaten & how long they’ve napped. Every morning at drop off & evening at pickup, someone is greeting us or saying bye to us. My son runs to his teachers & the directors with zero worries in his mind. As a mother, this makes my heart so warm & puts my mind at ease. They teach him so much on a day to day basis. Every day, my baby comes home saying something new or showing me something new he’s learned. He has all these little friends he is growing up with & is so excited to see them every morning. I have & will always absolutely recommend this center to anyone & everyone. By far, this is the best experience I've ever had with any daycare center. My son will definitely be staying here up until he officially starts school.

I have 2 children currently enrolled and I absolutely love the staff! They are so caring and so patient! I absolutely love Kennedy in the infant room she has such an amazing bond with my baby and Tasha always keeps me updated on the classroom changes! I love knowing I’m leaving my baby in such a safe and loving environment! Jeffrey handles my emotional bossy toddler with such ease and thoughtfulness! Thank you all guys for shaping my children into the best little humans they can be!

My daughter attended blue skies in 2020 to 2022 and she loved it. Their teachers are great and helpful. It’s a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it.

Blue Skies has been amazing since day one! The staff from the director down are kind, generous, warm, welcoming and just simply amazing! Special shout out to Ms. Eden who is the best! This was indeed the best choice I could’ve made. My son and I love it here. I love the way they adore all the children and treat them as their own. If you are looking for a safe and amazing place where your child can learn and grow Blue Skies is the place!
