Did you notice there is only one review that has 5 stars? If you send your child here you’re a fool. They stole my grandson’s chain. Not only did they steal the chain, they swapped it with a fake one. The staff is ghetto and a place with thieves is an unsafe environment. Run, don’t walk away from them.

Good learning center...but they don’t provide pick up or drop off to a neighborhood less than 10 minutes away from the learning center & that’s really inconsiderate and inconvenient. Closest daycare to Truxton, but they don’t pick up or drop off.
