My daughter started attending The Children's House daycare about 3 month ago. We've had trouble finding the right daycare for her and after looking for so long, we finally found the perfect childcare for my child. This daycare has made my child and myself feel very at home. The owner speaks multiple languages, which was really helpful for us because my husband doesn't speak English very well. It being a small childcare facility was also very nice, we felt that it was very homey and that's exactly what we wanted for our child. Overall this is a great childcare facility.

My daughter has gone to this daycare for over 4 years. I've always found the staff to be kind and respectful, and they truly care about the kids. My daughter and I only speak English but I love that they can accommodate a more diverse group of parents/kids than most daycare centers. The owner is an angel, her and my daughter have an incredible bond that we will treasure forever, and it warms my heart to see my daughter so loved while I'm away. It's truly her home away from home. Their preschool teacher is phenomenal, and the bigger kids are engaged and learning in a structured environment every day. There was a time when my child care payments were messed up, and the owner was very generous in working on a payment plan with me, when most other centers wouldn't have. The owner is always eager to hear any feedback that parents have to share, and she will even ask for it to make sure parents are at ease. I'm so thankful we found this daycare and highly recommend it.

Magnifique and her staff have looked after both my daughter and son since they were a year old (my daughter is in third grade now and my pre-school-age son is still with her). I cannot say enough about Children's House or how much Magnifique and her staff care for these children. Many of the staff and children are multi-lingual, and that is a GREAT thing. Both my kids (as well as my wife and I) are english speakers, and it's never ever been an issue - in fact, both of my kids have benefitted greatly from learning how to communicate and navigate socially at the earliest age with kids from so many different backgrounds, languages and cultures. Most importantly, though, my kids are the most precious parts of my world, and I can offer no greater endorsement than having trusted them to the Children's House care and safety almost every weekday of their young lives.

It's is the worst, unsafe daycare ever. They don't respect parents, speak African language and French , confusing children. There is no enough staff . The owner has a bad attitude. You do not want to send your children there if you Care.
