  • The school allowed my very young grand child to be assaulted by three other students. Now my grandchild is forever impacted because they knew the one instigator was dangerous.and did nothing! Very horrible supervision they should be shut down.

  • Best school ever, my son always received the best care and education and he absolutely loved every single teacher. My baby was always safe and well taken care of. The other children are always very respectful and you won't have to worry about incident reports. I miss them and love everyone here. I wish we didn't have to move so the kiddos could still be here. Def send your kiddos here for the best time and great education experience.

  • The school is amazing, the director is very good about communicating, the teachers are flawless, and thy follow DES, DCS, and state education guidelines. If I didn't move my kids would have stayed here until they were school age and maybe even after for their after school program.

  • I had a terrible experience with another daycare before enrolling my son here. The owner was amazing when I spoke to her on the phone about all my concerns, she was very sweet and reassuring. When I went for the tour my son took off to go explore and play (he never did that at the first daycare). I also noticed how CLEAN it was inside! We are on week three and my son goes to the teachers when I drop him off, he doesn’t cry or look scared. He is excited in the mornings when I tell him let’s get ready for school, he is a blanket baby and he has been putting his blanket away more and more! Which is a huge thing because that is his safety item. ALL the teachers have been super friendly. I recommend this daycare 100%! This is my 3rd child but 1st time I’ve had to put one of my kids in daycare. This place gives me peace of mind that my child is safe and cared for.

  • I can’t believe how many years it’s taken me to write this review. I could write a speech but I’ll keep it short. This place is SO UNDERRATED. If you’re a momma on edge from previous day care experiences THIS IS YOUR SAFE HAVEN. I brought my oldest son here after trying and viewing dozens of daycare centers and home daycares. When I found this center Therese totally took away any fear I had leaving my child here. Upon having my second child 6 years later we tried to find a daycare center closer to home (my mistake) my anxieties immediately started flooding back in during our walk throughs. I went home that day and called Therese - again this is YEARS later- she not only remembered us, but immediately got my kiddo in and made me feel so much better about the process. My 1 year old is on his first week as im writing this and already runs straight to class when we get here. My now 1st grader, is mad that his little brother gets to come here and he can’t come back. I have a true relationship with teachers instead of just your average hi and bye. Im seeing the same teachers here I did 4 years ago with my first born. I get text updates about him when I’m stressed out. It’s a true family environment. This daycare has a true open door. Most daycares will tell you that you can stop in anytime, but then will have you schedule an appointment for viewing. Not here. You can come any day and any time and you will find staff playing on the floor and sitting with the kids and back rubs at nap time. A blessing is an understatement. Thank you Therese and all of your staff for being a village for so many of us!

  • After two wonderful years, our time at this daycare is coming to an end, and I’m feeling incredibly grateful. Knowing my daughter was safe, well-fed, and cared for every day gave me such peace of mind—something every parent hopes for. The food is consistently great, the toys and activities kept her learning and happy, and the daily routine helped her thrive. The staff truly cared, and that showed in the way my daughter felt excited to go every morning. I also want to thank the owner for being available whenever I had questions or needed to talk. I’ve appreciated our relationship and the open line of communication, it made a big difference in my comfort and trust in leaving my child in someone else’s care. We’ll miss this place and the people who’ve played such an important role in my daughter’s early years. I’m thankful for the memories, the care, and the support we received during our time here.
