I recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for their child. This is not only because I have worked there for 14 years, but also because my own grandchildren have also attended and absolutely loved it. Any place that the owners take the time to rock babies and change diapers and even play ball with the children because they enjoy it not because they have to, is a place I want my babies. Now I come from a very blended family and believe me, they were welcomed with open arms. Such a loving and fun place. It is such a blessing to be a part of such an amazing team and watch so many children and families begin their lives with us only to watch them grow into young women and men and go on to high school. Could not ask for a better place.

Very unprofessional daycare . My niece was kicked out of the school apparently for not being acclimated to their environment fast enough to their standards. It had only been two weeks and she is a 4 year old . When asked for a proper explanation I was met with crass attitude and short tempered responses. I honestly think she was racially profiled , being the only African American in the class. I do not recommend anyone sending their child here unless you want to be called midday during your work week to pick up your child with no reasoning behind it .

I had been using 2 daycare facilities, finally found a very professional daycare and safe place for my kids. I have been using this daycare since 4 years ago. I see many kids got kicked out because of their really bad behavior. It's easy to work with Mr. Clark. And, yes, Mr. Clark will talk firm to any parents that speak disrespectfully in the daycare facility. This daycare equipped with security cameras, security door lock. I feel safe leaving my kids in this daycare, surrounded with good behavior children.

My son was at a Inhome daycare prior to attending RBCC he screamed every day at drop off at the Inhome .... Once we moved him to RBCC he very rarely had a difficult drop off. His teacher was amazing and worked with me on every little concern I had. The staff as well as management are great. I am greatful I have Rbcc for days off at school and would refer them to anyone.

I called for details and the representative was rude. Very short and a bit snobbish. My children won’t be going here.
