This is the worst place you could ever take your child. The owner treats her employees like absolute TRASH. If she can’t even treat her staff right what makes her qualified to treat your children right?! If you’re thinking about sending your child/children here I’d think twice maybe even three times before you do
This daycare is amazing. I stayed home w/ my daughter for 3 years so it was not an easy transition for either of us when I went back to work, especially after she had a really negative experience at an In Home daycare. The staff stick around so there has not been constant turn over like I had expected with a center, and you can tell they really care about what they do. They communicate daily, send photos, they have expectations and boundaries for how the children treat each other and the staff while still being kind. My daughter loves Ms. Adara and talks about her often. They have good security on the building, which as an anxious mom I really appreciate. Jana is an awesome director, and always gets back to me. This place is 10/10.
This daycare is the best daycare around!. I know this because I have two daughters that went here when they were babies, this daycare has always had a friendly staff, very clean and organized. The owner cares for your child as you care for your own child. Today both of my daughters work here, and they are Caring, Very Bright, and they have a love in their hearts for your child. I still today recommend this daycare to everyone!!!! Way to go Shining Stars for continuing to take care for our children when we can't.
Always friendly and willing to work with you. They treat my son like one of their own. If any issues ever do arise they are quick to correct them. There is a certain level of chaos but that is expected with a building full of kiddos fill of energy. I give each and every person who works at Shining Stars a tremendous amount of credit because Lord knows I wouldn't be able to do it.
Great owners with even better staff. Havent met a worker that I wasnt impressed with. My daughter transfered from Metro Kids (not shaming them, they are great too) to here as it was much easier to have my kids in one she was really nervous and shy but her teachers made her transition very easy. And she gets to ride a bus. Haha. My son has been here since 6 weeks of age and I have loved watching him grow along with his friends. I have to shout out one person my sons beloved Mrs. Corrie. Without her I dont know how I would make it through some mornings. Would highly reccomend them!
