My kids love this daycare, they feel safe. I have 3 of my children who attend. My boys been to a few daycare's in their time,an hands down this place is their favorite. An as for my daughter who is 1yr old, she is definitely high maintenance 🤣 an I know she gets great care cause sometimes she doesn't even want to leave her teacher, to come home with me.Which makes me super happy cause that tells me they are definitely doing something right. Very nice people 💞.

Staff are very friendly EXCEPT the owner. I CAN NOT believe she owns a Daycare she is very rude, doesn’t greet you when you drop kids off or pick them up and speaks to you with attitude. The kids have no engagement what so ever. They are left in a room the whole time and the babies left in cribs all day. The place is always messy and my daughter always came home with different clothes that wasn’t hers. They dont sanitize anything in there. My poor babies been sick the whole time they been going there. Kids coughing everywhere with no face masks on.They dont feed the kids dinner only snacks.i picked my babies up the one night and asked the owner (who was there watching my kids) if she had ate she told me yes then i asked what did she eat and then she said she dont know. (Because she didnt eat thats why). They dont do any kind of activities with the children. This was more of a discipline place then a Daycare. If you care deeply for your children do not send them here.

They treat my son with so much love and care. They really get to know the kids on an individual level. I like that they are bilingual. Keeps kids fluent in both languages. I recommend.

As a current staff I'd like to give my honest review of this fine establishment. It is a wholesome place with friendly staff, and from the reviews I've read I can certainly say things have changed. Better then it was.
