I do have to say I was skeptical from hearing certain stories but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. It had grown on me and my daughter was happy which is all I cared about and to make sure she was ok. Her teachers are awesome! We had some personal things happen and was a huge impact on all of us especially my kid's. But her teachers/staff were there with support. Something I truly needed at the time. Ms Ana, Ms Tita, Troy, Jessica thank you for what you all do. Thank you for being there during a tough time!! Happy early Teacher's Appreciation Week!!!!

This is one of the worst day cares I have put my children in when it comes to the pre school teachers!!!!! If you early it's a problem, if you are late it's a problem, even when you are on time the teachers aren't . I think if more parents boycott this daycare and the teachers don't have a job they will be more inclined to be on time especially when parents such as myself have to go to work. Its really ridiculous!!!!! They need to hire more reliable staff because the staff there, not all but most don't care and obviously don't get reprimanded when they are late or don't show which says alot about the director!! Granted this is a close daycare to my home but what good is that if I still can't get to work due to the staff not being on time. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone I know and that's straight up, no chaser!!!!

This is the worst daycare to put your child in. They are absolutely terrible. My nephew had his arm broken by a teacher here also they turned my child away for 3 days straight and wanted me to pay for the whole week which is totally not fair or logical. If it wasn't one problem it was another at this place. I would NOT recommend sending your child here.

My 2 kids attend this facility and I love the teachers and the director he is very understanding and informs us of everything that is going on and the facility is very clean.

The worst daycare ever. It's a split between them and the one at K&A. They were both horrible.
