The staff there are catty drama women and very unprofessional. You can tell most of them are there just for a check, because I barely ever seen them playing with the kids or even with a smile on their face from time to time. I was SO happy to see they opened up another day care at Opportunity House. I hope the women at the new center are more educated and kind people. If you have a chance to enroll your kid into the other day care, I would take my chances and send them to that one instead of this one for sure.

If I can rate this place zero stars I most definitely would!!! This daycare is so horrible that my two sons are always in the hospital due to this daycare being nasty and never cleaning and they got bedbugs and roaches too!!! What type of daycare doesn’t listen to the parents concerns. But have fun with your inspection cuz I will be file a law suit on this daycare for my sons medical bills

I can't express how much of an amazing organization the Second Street Learning Center is. I would highly recommend this facility to families who are interested in Pre-K counts as well. The staff is very helpful, kind, welcoming , organized & involved!

2nd Street Learning Center is a fabulous learning center. Toured today with my wife, for infant care during the week. Tatiana, Director, is extremely professional as well as Scarlett of the Infant side. Choosing where to take your child for care is hard, but 2nd street learning makes the decision easy.

My kids have been going there for approximately 7yrs now the beginning was rough I admit but they have made soo many amazing changes along the way and is nowhere near what it was in the past. Staff is respectful to children and parents..they go above and beyond for my children and my children adore them...I'm soo glad I stayed with them...my kids even get mad if I show up early because of the fun activities they do with the kids. They even have a social worker on site to help direct parents when they need help.
