We are now operating under new ownership, and the business is no longer affiliated with The Love Center. We appreciate your continued support as we move forward with fresh energy, improved service, and an exciting new direction!

The daycare in the entrance looks fine ;however , in the back where the little ones are is not well kept and had a bad smell. The owner Dr. Love is not professional and does not take responsibility for the center actions ; I would recommend sending your infant and little toddlers else where that is cleaner. Ms. Scott however is extremely nice and accommodating

This center is not somewhere I would recommend to anyone as a job. The owners attitude is beyond nasty, she is unprofessional, and intolerable. She does not care about her employees personal lives and conducts business underhandedly. She tries to treat and talk the employees as if they are children and shows lack of respect and dignity. She abuses her use of power and authority. The director Ms. Scott is unprofessional as well. Makes sure she’s not held accountable for anything. They are very sneaky and conniving. The center is not clean and they half clean when they know an inspector or licensing representative is coming. Employees are not qualified and not documented. They do not follow state requirements when it comes to teachers being licensed, having vaccinations, and maintaining the cleanliness.

as someone who actually went there for 10 years of my life the place is not somewhere i looked forward to. When i was younger they would always “pop” kids ,threaten to spank them, and actually spank them. it was nasty, i don’t mean like horrible nasty just bits of it like you can tell it hasn’t been cleaned properly. The owner (dr. love) is as mean as a witch. she would constantly pick on certain kids, YELL at kids even if it’s as simple as falling asleep. she would have the teacher make us clean and get made when it’s not all the way clean i mean for crying out loud we were all 6-12. Ms. fields was like that when i was younger but when i got in the program for elementary- middle school kids she got nicer and the food she made was amazing. Ms. Scott definitely had her moments and it just seemed like she didn’t care about anything she just always had an attitude all the time, but she is probably the only good “teacher” we had.the elementary- middle school kids had a lot of teacher in and out a small precent where nice most were so strict and rude for no reason. Overall the place isn’t horrible, the younger kids teachers were awesome, ALL the kids there were amazing, the holidays were the best, all the field trips are fun, mama lucy’s (the store on the side) HAD THE BEST FOOD my personal fav was the fires and the sauce or hot chips with cheese and meat. But do i recommend it? not exactly. but it’s up to you to decide that though. And for the ppl saying it’s amazing… you have no idea what went on behind those doors.
