Recent parent reviews
We’ve had children attend this daycare for many years—one who is now an adult and another who is currently a toddler—so we’ve experienced classrooms from the infant room all the way through the school-age program. The staff has always been easy to work with and truly cares about the kids. It means a lot as a parent to know your children are in a place where they are supported, cared for, and encouraged to grow. We’re grateful for the role they’ve played in our children’s lives.
Lisa WallaceApr 15, 2026The teachers here will LOVE your children and care for them. This place really needs an updated rating, it's the most affordable in town easily. Our kids have adored their teachers. I'll never forget how much Ms Sade helped us potty train. And my kid is always talking about Ms Melissa and Ms Malaya. They're my heroes truly ❤️
A MAug 21, 2025I am posting this because the injustice needs to be fixed. This daycare center was wrongfully accused of a crime and the lying, abusive mother is now facing charges. 25 News has the story if you wish to look it up either Google or Facebook. It's absolutely disgusting that a mother would abuse their child and blame it on their daycare!
Hellfire PolarisSep 7, 2017Staff is amazing and I have ALWAYS felt safe knowing that my kids are well taken care of.
