Recent parent reviews

  • We absolutely love this daycare and couldn't ask for a better place for our 3 kids. The staff treats our children like their own family. We have always felt informed about any incidents that have happened and what corrective actions that were taken. We've never had any issues with diaper rashes that you sometimes hear about with other daycares. My kids usually get dropped off very early in the morning (6:30 AM) and sometimes they are quite cranky, and Ms. Eunice gives them some cuddle time to calm them down. They feed them well, they enjoy the food and they get lots of snacks, my kids never go hungry. They do lots of hands-on activities with the kids and they make such creative crafts. They do a wonderful job preparing kids for kindergarten, helping them grow socially, emotionally and academically. They keep it very clean and organized. The children all play well together, and the entire environment feels warm, safe, and family-oriented. We are so grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a daycare that makes you feel like part of the family.

  • My son went here from 9mos old until he went to elementary school! And my daughter had currently been going since she was 1 and she is about to turn 4! They've both really enjoyed their time at the daycare, they love going to school..my 4 yr old is asking every night if we go to school tomorrow! She had made a lot of friends and she is doing really well with their worksheets and loves doing crafts! She absolutely loves to go outside and enjoy the playground and go for walks when the weather is nice! My daughter really feels at home here and I love being able to see her on the camera and my husband does as well while he's at work!

  • My 5 year old daughter has been going to this daycare since she was 3. She continues to go during regular school breaks, like Christmas and Spring break, now that she is in Kindergarten. Ms Eunice and Ms. Shawn were my daughter's favorite teachers. She loved Ms Sam and Ms. Lauren as well. I love that there are classroom cameras which allow piece of mind, during the day and love how nuturing the teachers are to her and the class. I would recommend this daycare. Wonderful staff.

  • My 5 year old daughter has been going to this daycare since she turned 2. She absolutely loves her teachers and friends. She always asks when she can go back when it’s the weekend or stop in for a little bit when we play hooky for a day lol This makes me happy she is so happy there and if I miss her I can always look at the cameras!

  • My daughter has been attending for a year and the staff treats her and us as we are apart of their own family. They allow camera access to the facility in the rooms my daughter is in. I can see them all having circle time learning different things and singing songs. I like the different activities they do as a group and the diversity of the people and cultures of the staff. Her favorites are Ms. Shawn, Ms. Sam and Ms. Eunice. Will reccomend.

  • My children have been attending this center for just about 6 months and I have fallen in love with the entire staff. They are all so loving and attentive to both of my children. Since attending, my youngest who is 18 months now knows sign language and uses it daily! Which I have thought is so impressive! I would highly recommend.
