2 of my kids are currently attending this daycare and I couldn’t be happier and at ease with this place for my kids. My kids are my life and there’s nothing more important to me than knowing that my kids are being well taken care while I’m at work. I want to mention that after a change of ownership, this daycare has completely transformed into a place that not only as a parent will you feel at ease when leaving your child, but a place where your child never wants to leave. The owner Lissette is so heart-warming and attentive to my children’s needs. Always with a smile from ear to ear every time you see her and so loving with every single child there. Her energy is so vibrant and brings so much happiness to this place now with her ownership. My children come home every day excited to share with both my husband and I about what they did that day at daycare and they no longer give me a hard time when I leave them. Every single staff there is so pleasant and knowledgeable. I feel so satisfied knowing my children are in such great hands, that their safety is above all maintained at all times and most importantly, that my children are happy. I recommend this place 100%!! Thank you guys for being so great!!

I have visited this facility on several occasions for years. I have to say it’s amazing. They treat all the kids like they are family. The staff is warm, welcoming and affectionate. Anyone can watch your special needs child but to love and care for them with compassion affection and patience is something you can only find here.

My child went there when she was 6 weeks old for 2 weeks. During the 2 weeks i had a very bad experience. The owner Olga smokes a lot and the smell of the cigarette is very strong even when you stand next to her. When i get there in the mornings at 6:30 am she is outside smoking. If she is not outside smoking she is in the kitchen at the back of the building making coffee. I thought to myself...well the front door is open...she is in the back making coffee whats to stop someone from walking in scooping up my baby and leaving. This made me very uneasy. I couldnt be at ease at work. I would always worry about my baby. Imagine my shock and horror when i get there at 5 pm and she is outside smoking again and my baby and the other children are alone inside and to top it off my baby is sitting in poop. I can remember 3 occasions i went there and she is outside smoking and my baby is alone inside in the baby room with the playpens and the other children are alone with my baby. What if one of the other children put somthing in the babys mouth or hurt the baby. My baby was going there 3 days per week i paid for the full week (5days) and i can only remember 2 or 3 occasions when my baby did not have poop on her when i arrived to pick her up. Eventually i came one day and her butt was fire ingine red. The day shift blamed the evening shift. Olga complained that my baby pooped too much THE NERVE!!!! I pounced on them one day when i left work at 10am and sure enough Amarilys was sitting there on the computer and my baby was lying with poop on her and mind you my baby was the ONLY baby there (that should have been a warning sign) all the other children are todlers and older. Olga told me my baby pooped 6 times while she was there during the day and when i took her home she pooped another 6 times this happened for about 3 days. Eventually on the last day when i picked her up i opened her bottle to make her a milk and the inner rim of the bottle cap that houses the nipple was brown with spoiled milk i was horrified angry and upset. i took my baby to Joe Demaggio and never went back. I have reported these people to the state. There are some disgusting caregivers out there and these people are among them. When i pick my baby up at the end of the day she would always be crying fussy and very gasy and i couldn't figure out what they were doing because she is not like that when she is home with us for the weekend. These people are nasty and lazy when i drop my baby they are so smiley and nice and playing with baby but this seems so fake to me as they leave her lying in poop all day. These people are wicked. who does that to a 6 week old baby? I hope the state shuts them down.

Kids WATCHING TV ALL DAY, no matter what hours you show up. Impossible to contact them by phone to know about your child’s day. Teachers screaming to kids, kids hitting other kids and teachers don’t do anything about it. Teachers-Kids ratio is not how it should be. Babies left unattended.

Everyone is very dedicated to the kids. The teacher Amarilys is a blessing to that place. She is very lovable and educated with the kids. I am more than happy with everything my son accomplished and learned. Felt like family!
