My daughter went there for 3 years and she absolutely loved it. She has her favorite teachers there but the one in particular was amazing loving and caring!!!! My daughter felt so comfortable and adored her!!!!! Ms. Stefanie, was amazing with all the kiddos. My daughter loved her and still does and had to go back and visit and the smile on their faces was amazing and so heartwarming. I would definitely recommend them in a heart beat!!!!!

They set my son up to fail! He is 3! Still learning and trying to overcome some traumatic stuff in life, had a few bad days and they kicked him out. Was told they would work with him and do everything possible and lied.
