Love the long time caregivers in this facility. The owner is so sweet. Seems a little chaotic and a little messy at times but I trust the people there. And lets be honest, my home is a lot messy and a lot chaotic and I have a lot less kids to deal with than they do on the daily. My kids also loved their "teachers." Recently had to move 9 hours away and my kids DO NOT like their new day care. I think that is the real test of a place. My kiddos loved this day care. That speaks volumes.
My daughter ended up soo sick with 106 fever which could not make it go away for MONTHS. we started with every source ending with this daycare. Originally pulled my daughter out and turned them in for pinning kids down to make them take a nap. However when being investigated and rugs were pulled up MOLD was under them. I highly do NOT reccomend them.
I placed my 18-month-old son in this facility while waiting for a spot at my employer's onsite daycare to open. In the 5 weeks he was there over the summer, my son had 6 fevers. The caregivers assured me this was normal for a child who had never been in daycare before, and his immune system would adjust. He was also bitten on two occasions by another child, once on the arm and once on the nose, the latter breaking the skin and drawing blood. I was assured this was normal. The same week he was bitten on the nose (and when he had just recovered from his 6th fever), he was attacked IN HIS SLEEP bythe same child, covered in almost a dozen severe bite marks on his face, back, and arms. We immediately withdrew my son and my employer was able to make arrangements at the daycare for his early admission based on the circumstances. I was lucky in that regard. However, my son was traumatized by the event and had to receive early childhood intervention to cope with being around other children after that event due to antisocial fear responses, when he had been very social and interactive with peers up until that point. When I called the director about the incident, she was dismissive and unsympathetic. I have since discovered there was mold growing under the mats of the room where my son slept, which explains the fevers. This place is terrible and dangerous. Please go to the DFPS website and research for yourself.

They take good care of my best friends 6m old grand daughter.
