This is a terrible childcare business & wouldn’t recommend a soul. This establishment is very unprofessional they so called misplaced my child belongings-which include her formula, cereal,wipes and her gallon of water I work hard to provide for my child that stuff cost ain’t nothing free. When they received a termination email from DHS they were already aware that my child last day was yesterday. So when I arrived to pick my child up I’m expecting for her belongings to be in the bag. I called to speak with Ms.Hazel I was told she was using the bathroom now Ms.Hazel not the owner no more. How you change management over night I’m so glad I took my baby out that daycare it’s like a relief. My child started her new daycare today now I can go to work without stressing about my child. Not to mention the brightwell app they don’t never use to update the parents on how your child doing throughout the day which is unacceptable.

This is not where you want to send your kids. When you complain on them they retaliate by terminating you. They stand behind staff who mistreat parents and doesn't take care of the babies like they should. They forever send other kids clothes and bottles home with other parents as well as losing kids clothes and bottles. They never look after the kids like they should. They leave the pampers on them for a long time and allow the clothes to be messed up everyday. The Director doesn't say anything when the staff disrespect the parents. She act like she's afraid of her own staff. Smh

Absolutely love Ms. Hazel but the staff is terrible, rude, and unprofessional. I terminated my daughter’s services at the daycare and when trying to pick up her diapers and wipes, the daycare lost her belongings.

When you are trusting people with a child, you believe in there work to be the best. The staff should be trained to act professional at all times. If their are family members of the owners on staff, the rules apply to them also. I was very concern when comments about a two year old child needs testing. The child is there to learn and grow not to be judge. Practice your mission & vision don't just write it. Good Luck

My oldest son attended daycare here. Not only did he make friends but he excelled past other students in his class when he started elementary. Very great with communication and super sweet and friendly staff.
