  • Don’t bring your babies here if it’s your first time doing daycare. They didn’t ask me anything about my baby , no communication at all and they don’t offer tours because of “covid”. They didn’t even give my baby a chance to get comfortable, just came to get him and left. Red flags all over.

  • Do not recommend the lady in the office very unprofessional and does not have a healthy attitude towards parents my 3 yr old child attended for almost a year the food always made her have soft horrendous smelled bowel movements and they frequently sent her home for bogus reasons claiming she was sick or something was wrong and she was always fine and once I had my youngest I felt very uncomfortable to send my newborn there so I changed daycares in return they called DCFS and made false allegations saying my 3 yr old had cuts, bruises, welts, abrasions and numerous injuries the case manager told me don’t ever send my kid back there and this is not there first time making false reports on parents since switching daycares my daughter is happy and always wants to go and has had no reason to be sent home please for your peace of mind and the well being of your child do not send your kids here
