Do not recommend this daycare. They will not let you view footage of incidents citing privacy concerns, even though every child’s first and last name is displayed for all to see on the sign in clipboard. Not to mention we see these kids every day and they won’t show us the footage? Clearly there is something they don’t want me to see. Not only that the communication and documentation is poor. Children will be scribbling on the sign out sheet because they aren’t being watched, seen it multiple times. Not only that if you ever anticipate on being late ever, even by one minute, you will be forced to keep your child home for the entire day, missing work. They will close for almost 3 weeks in December/January but charge for a full month. The director likes to disrespect parents and tell them to learn how to read. I am so serious I recorded it. Miss Donna a teacher there will treat your child horribly and be smirking during the entire meeting while your child gets kicked out of daycare for “headlocks” and “chokeholds” she is 2.5 and has never exhibited such behavior. I’m willing to bet this daycare struggles to stay in ratios. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else. And if anyone would like to hear the recording on how they treat their parents I’ll be happy to send it to you :)

Could not have asked for better care for my 3 boys. Taught my 4 year old cursive before he ever attended kindergarten. This is the village you want watching your babies. Nothing but a fantastic experience.

4 of my children have attended this daycare since 6 wks, 2 are still there in the Pre-K program. Being dual military away from homeh they are like my extended family, I can't talk to each one on a personal level. My kids love them, and have learned alot, the oldest 2 did so good in school due to their preparation in the Pre-K classes. I'd be lost if I had to find another center.

They were the best to me and I was one of the students they have baptisms play time inside and outside and they have lunch provided and snack and breakfast and dinner for later kids. I went my whole life and loved it and they also for bigger kids in school has an after school pick up and helps with there homework. I loved it all those years and still visit every now and then.
