I love this center! My daughter started there about a year ago. Betsy was extremely helpful with our childcare subsidy. She gave us everything we needed and even faxed the application to the office for us. There is no better feeling as a parent, than knowing your child is safe, loved and very well cared for while you’re working. My daughter is always so excited to go to “school” and see all of her favorite grownups and friends. The whole center is filled with staff who love our children as their own. A wonderful cook, Sam, who makes lots of yummy food for their bellies 💜 I’m so grateful that we found this center. My daughter will be moving up to preschool there in the fall. We are so excited!! We are very lucky to have such a wonderful center in our area!

My kids have been going there about 3 years now. Has a nice structure, and the rooms are amazing! So much stuff for the kids to do, along with an awesome playground. I like how they hold cool special events for the kids and families to attend. Never had any big issues arise, if I had any concerns of anything, the hire ups were good at addressing the issue and solving it. Kids have said how they like it and their teachers there.

All 3 of my children have attended this daycare on and off for the last 12 years. When I was stuck? They reached in to their own pockets and HELPED me- when my (now 4 year old) was born.. the only daycare I would even consider, was LDDCC. I trust no one else to care for my children than this place. I am seeing the reviews and I can not imagine what has happened that made them leave such a review. The building is clean, the owner, the teachers, the staff EVERYONE knows my name, my children's names and they genuinely care about us as a whole. I HIGHLY recommend this establishment!

This center has been one of the biggest supports in my families lives. My children have gone here for years,since they were infants. It's a good feeling knowing my children are safe and in a nurturing environment that also educates them. Also, the support alone is like being a part of a family. They do so much to support the families. From events, to meals for families, field trips for kids. They have helped me with many things over the years. For example my oldest son who is special needs they help me transport to and from school when their is no bussing. He also has a special diet and they accomidate that. I cant say enough about this center. I'm fact at one point my family was going yo relocate and one of my biggest fears was not being able to find the quality child care my children get from this center. Also a great place to work. I worked here 10 years ago before venturing off into the school systems and now im back.
