I would not recommend this Day Care to no parents as they are lazy and they don’t care about a child’s development. I drop my kids off every day they didn’t greet my kids. They all were lazy sitting on the floor from Drop off to pick up. my baby was in there for over eight months. I pulled her out and she was walking a week later they take your kids out in heat waves when they’re not supposed to they will agree just to get you in there and change their policies and the way they do things highly not recommend this Daycare All-Star. Daycare is a good Daycare if anyone is interested As my kids have been going there for years. The director asked me to make a positive review just so they can get more people in, but there’s nothing positive about this Daycare other than it’s located in a church, which makes it even worse

I have been taking my kids to this daycare for about 10 years and the people could not be more wonderful and caring and sweet. They genuinely have a heart for the kids and they teach them manners and right and wrong because they genuinely care. One teacher even bought Christmas presents for the children with money out of their own pockets. I can't more highly recommend this daycare care, and it's one of the least expensive in town.

I had a few problem before but they changed the director and really just imporved everything in general. My daughter loved this daycare! One of my cousins moved from des moines to Bondurant and swore by this daycare so much she even committed to keeping her kids there! Loved the teachers and the fact it's church based and they taught my daughter songs and etc about God ❤ they also have reasonable pricing WITH good teachers ❤
