My kids enrolled in this daycare in January of 2022. From the beginning the owner was unprofessional and unpleasant. She doesn’t speak to parents she acts like the parent is not in the room and will only speak to staff. Staff would allow my children to fight and wouldn’t report nor do an incident report. I had to ask for that. Staff is definitely unprofessional and does nothing but gossip about whatever drama is going on in the daycare. Also have to buy children school supplies even for toddlers. For what? Money hungry daycare with no morals nor professionalism. My kids have been exposed to COVID over 2 times. They’ll let you know at the last minute when your dropping off your kids in the morning. So much more but I’ve said enough. I would not recommend this daycare at all. Horrible experience

Very very ghetto, loud and unprofessional. My kids went there for about 4 months and they never learned my kids names. They don’t let you go to the back to get your kids they call them to the front when you get there. The kids never have homework and they don’t teach them anything. They close for the smallest thing. When you walk in they’re having unprofessional personal conversations amongst themselves. They have ridiculous school list for even an 8 month old. I literally spent 60$ on my 8 month old school supply list and about 90$ for my 3 year olds list. Very ghetto and rude would not recommend to an enemy
