I would not recommend this daycare. My child attended for approximately 3 weeks. During those weeks I brought several issues to the staff and supervisor's attention. Staff documented that my child was fed and diapered, although the times they documented it my child was not even at the day are yet. Also, my child missed an entire meal due to the teacher forgetting they placed a bottle of breastmilk in the warmer. When I picked up my child she was crying and hungry. In addition to those issues she fell over and banged her head, sent home in the wrong diaper, no quite sleeping arrangements for nap time, etc. I was hopeful things would improve but they never did and I was not willing to allow the neglect of my child any longer. I will say the supervisor was always very nice and seemed concerned, but it was not enough to send my child back to that environment. I do not recommend sending an infant to this facility. If your child is a toddler who can walk and talk, maybe you could give it a try.

Initially, they appeared to be a great facility while my daughter went there for a year. After we had my son, I registered him as well. Since the first day he started, there had been problems. If he would sit up, we would get a call. For the littelst things, we would get calls to pick our son up. This last month my son (1 yrs old) has been suspended for biting. I've took him to multiple places and have never whitnessed him biting. So I demanded to see the video to see why he was biting. As I watched the video I saw EIGHT minuets pass where my son WHO IS ONE was strapped in the highchair for longer than 1 minute. After questioning why the time had passed for so long and Cameron was STILL sitting there after 8 minuets, I was told "I don't know I can't tell you"! Please do NOT take your child here

Every since my 4 year old son started attending this daycare he have learned so much. I can not make this up, he is now speaking Spanish thanks to his bilingual teacher, he know basic site words, colors and numbers. More importantly, we all fall on hard times, Precious Moments have always worked with us! They express empathy and are very understanding. We could not have choose a different school.
