We have been so blessed to experience this community. I can not say enough amazing things about this center and how much they have done and will continue to do in the lives of little ones and families they serve. I have four children who have attended their center, and one who is still currently there. Staff is consistent and they don't seem to have a turnover at all. Which has made transitions from classroom to classroom comfortable and easy for both my little ones and I. Amy keeps a clean center and genuinely cares about not only the kids but the families as well. She follows state guidelines and procedures to make sure that the best care is being given at all times. Her staff is full of joy and you can see she carefully picked them with care so that every child is getting their needs met and nurtured at her center. They communicate with families consistently so that any concerns, milestones, and exciting things are known to the families in the program. They have field trips during the summer for the older classes to help keep the summer exciting and engaging when us parents are still needing to work and might not be able to do all of these things outside of the weekend. My children go in excited to see not only their friends but the staff that cares for them. My older children that go during the summer for care miss them over the school year and are eager to go back and see Ms. Amy and her staff. I could go on and on about how much this center has blessed us and how it has surpassed any experience I have had with childcare in my ten years of parenting, but I know it will be seen and felt by anyone who enters the doors. If you are trying to decide on a center where you will have a piece of mind that your children are safe, loved, nurtured, and being prepared for kindergarten this is the place for you.

Wonderful teachers who truly care about the children and their wellbeing. The center is consistently being upgraded, they’re always going the extra mile to ensure the kids have something to look forward to, and I feel good knowing my daughter is surrounded by knowledgeable and kind people.

Costly - no two week notice. Wasn’t even there two weeks? No option to solve problem, just collect payment and discharge child from care. Was really hoping to love this school, instead let down majorly. If your child has issues transitioning as any toddler may, good luck. Their staff is limited.

Best experience I've had with a childcare center, they teach the children so many amazing things and really care about their well being. Fantastic and dedicated teachers here as well.
