This childcare center is beyond AMAZING! My three girls ages 9, 6, 3 always have a great time attending their program. When I pick them up, they are always happy and energized!!! The center ensures that the kids have a lot of fun and treats them like family. Our family could have never made a better decision to send our kids to this childcare center. The center’s director and team are AWESOME! They are very loving and caring to my children and all, making kids feel safe to be who they are and express themselves. I HIGHLY recommend this childcare center!!!!
Deedra MillsAug 2, 2026My baby was sent to school with 3 bottles of milk and 2 juice boxes. I picked her up at the end of the day and the infant room teacher had to ask another teacher down the hall for my baby’s bottle bag. Why are my baby’s bottles not in the infant room with her? Turns out they didn’t give her any of her milk or juice and claimed she didn’t go without that day which is a lie because she downed 2 bottles of milk during the 20 minute car ride home. My baby’s face was fully crusted with old snot because it looked like no one wiped her nose and face all day. As well I was being overcharged for my baby’s tuition fees because the director felt like “I had money.” This really angered me because I don’t get ANY assistance for my baby or household. When pulling my baby out of the daycare I asked several times about getting my fees refunded since I pay a month in advance. The director continued to give me excuses and no solution. The leadership in this daycare is very money hungry. Do not recommend.
Valencia Ing.Apr 24, 2026When my son went here they were very understaffed and the center would not be clean. Bags of trash would be in the hallway and I thought it was so unprofessional for one of the teachers to come to work with kids with a crop top on. A lot of the times when I came in some of the older kids would be watching the younger kids. We didn’t stay long at this daycare at all and wouldn’t recommend it. I do have the correct center, thanks!
Yanna SDec 5, 2025Wonderful center! The setup is so beautiful and my kids LOVEEEEE going here ! Mrs Chrystalyn is amazing ! Very accommodating, very genuine and she does an amazing special for $100 a week for the first 3 weeks . My kids have learned a lot in the 6 months of being here. Highly recommend !
WorldSep 4, 2025Under staffed and an absolutely mess! My daughter’s first day was on 07/15 and by 9pm on 07/15 I was texting the daycare owner to inform her that my daughter would NOT be returning! On my daughter’s first day she told me that multiple kids him her with their hand and their shoes which caused cuts and bruises all over her body! When I went to pick up her there were literally kids running around like crazy. There was ONE teacher to about 20+ kids. Most kids were running around with their shoes off! The Daycare center was a mess and in complete disarray. My daughter’s told me that they didn’t do any academic curriculum the entire day. I took my daughter to this daycare after reading the negative reviews that stated that this center does NOT focus on academic curriculum and was under staffed due to the positive reviews outweigh the negative but they were spot on!!! Please save your child the horror of literally being beat on. When I informed the daycare owner of the situation she did not respond, so the next morning I went to retrieve my daughter’s bag and when I got there she literally stated that the most concerning part was that it seemed like we “coached” her into what to say which couldn’t be further from the truth! She offered to review the camera footage with me to “work this out” but I declined due to me not wanting my child in such an uncertain environment PLEASE heed the few but accurate negative reviews 3-4 different strangers can’t be wrong!
Skylar McIntyreJul 16, 2025My kids have been attending this daycare for a couple months now they are very patient with the kids and trust worthy. My daughter is thriving, and learning so much so quickly. Her teachers are awesome with communication, and making sure that she receives a quality curriculum as well. My daughter is doing so well with pottytraining and loves the children in her class as well.
