  • My granddaughter went to Color My World from when she was a baby through preschool. We loved the staff and curriculum! 5 stars!!

  • My daughter went here for a few years and it was okay. The staff in the school age room were always on their phones. Recently emailed them because I have my 2nd child on the way and the email address on the website is an unknown address and could not send.

  • We found them on a whim more than 8 years ago, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. They’ve provided an incredible foundation for our daughters, and the love, safety & consistency they show every day is unmatched. The teachers truly care about your kids, and it’s been so special watching our girls grow up here. They continue to invest in their facilities and programs, which shows their commitment to families. We are incredibly grateful and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a daycare they can fully trust.

  • The absolute best daycare! We’ve been part of the color my world family for 14 years. My daughter started as a toddler and is now 15, and now my 21-month-old son is there. They are incredible with the children and provide a safe, loving environment. If you want a place that feels like family, this is it! Just like to add I don't trust a lot of people with my children and they always made me feel like I could call and check on them when I first started I had anxiety so bad and they just made me feel like everything was going to be okay they do go above and beyond this was before any apps or anything like that so I called about every hour just to check on my kids and they didn't get upset or frustrated with me just let me know what was going on

  • Desiree made a serious mistake—forgetting a child outside for over 10 minutes—and she owns it. Safety is always first. But it’s unfair that another teacher went on break without counting the kids and wasn’t held responsible. Yet Desiree was blamed alone. Even worse, her own kids weren’t allowed back just because it was “awkward.” She gave her time, money, and heart to that classroom. Seeing her treated like that was painful. Thankfully, she found a new place quickly where she can be herself and teach the way she wants. We’re proud of her. Mistakes happen, but true dedication is rare.
