I keep seeing bad reviews for this place. My daughter has been going here for over a year and a half now. I have never had an issue with the staff and they have been been more than accommodating for my daughter. They are close to my work, are the only day care in the area that is open when I need them. The big thing is my Daughter enjoys going there and she likes her teacher. This is the only daycare in the area that has the hours to accommodate my work schedule and they have definitely exceeded my expectations. I feel she is safe under their care.

Yoyo, Melanie, and Sarah obviously don't know how to run a daycare operation. They don't care about their staff, or the kids enrolled in this daycare. I've realized how money hungry this operation is, and it is ridiculous! I can't fathom how state hasn't shut them down yet. This facility is dirty and worn out. If you are desperate, sure go ahead and send them here. But if you care about your children, I'd look somewhere else. Sarah never knows what's going on, and Yoyo tries to act like everything is fine. They have a staff member there by the name of Tammy, who is still employed after coming to work inebriated and falling asleep while caring for children. That is absurd! Paying all this money for childcare, and they can't even do the due diligence in finding 'Good' teachers! Their staff turnover rate is so high! Nothing is consistent about this daycare. They do the BARE minimum to get by. They are cheap! I wouldn't send my child here another day after witnessing this and hearing all the horror stories!

My little one really loves going to this daycare. I have no complaints. They feed the kids pretty good. They also teach them as well. My daughter be excited when she brings her work home. We absolutely love the staff.

My baby went to this daycare for about 10 months because I work overnight. They do not follow minimum standard for running daycare. So many of the people are so rude, especially the director. I feel like the director realizes how few overnight daycare there are and the need for them but does not bother to hire too many great workers outside of 1st shift (mornings). An example would be Andrea, I have witness this woman holding down someones 3 or 4 year old girl. Teachers that work in schools get fired for things like that. I find it hard to believe that she is still working here and continues to be rude. Do not bring you kids here. If i could file class action suit against them for failure to meet minimum standard requirement I would. As for now I will warm potential clients, its not worth it.
