Best childcare service I’ve ever received! Ms.Natalie at the front is so kind and never fails to greet you with a smile at the door. My children love the center and I’d recommend the buissness to anyone looking for a center that gives your child top notch education, care, fun, and all for affordable prices. :)

My kids attended this center since they were 1 (Now 3 and 7). When it was Loving Care Academy, I recommended this daycare to everyone I knew. After it changed to Bell Oak, it went down the drain. DCF frequents this location and i should warn people to look at their latest DCF report before leaving your kids in the care of these people. Took my kids out immediately when I read the report. I was also told by a friend who is a neighbor of the center that all day long she can hear the teachers screaming at the kids and has even witnessed the teachers grabbing and pulling the kids by their arms. Never again.

My daughter is in the two year old room and she is so happy to be there! She has a smile when she walks in and is having fun when I pick her up. The teachers and staff are super sweet and the place is clean. I’m so happy we found this place!

The owner natalie love of this daycare has turned it upside down feom day one wanting to ensure that this location be closed because the second location is her primary along with her leaving children at another center alone at a water park field trip and trying to hide her past. She should not be aloud around children and leaves the daycare 100 percent understaffed

Terrible. New owner is absolutely horrendous. Beware. They are using the former daycare Loving Care’s reviews. We pulled our kids along with all of our friends after change of ownership.
