Recent parent reviews

  • Our children have been attending this daycare for over a year, and this is their second summer camp here. They absolutely love it! My daughter is 11 and my son is 7, and they ask to go every single day—which says a lot as a parent. Whenever I ask how their day was, they always have wonderful things to say about the teachers and all of the fun activities they get to do. One thing we really appreciate is that while the kids are allowed to bring their devices, they're put away once activities begin, so they aren't spending the entire day on screens. Our children have attended two different daycares over the years, and this is by far the best one. The staff is caring, kind, and truly treats every child with love and respect. The summer program is incredible. They keep the kids engaged with so many fun outings and experiences, including bowling, movie days, library events, swimming, and countless field trips. There is always something exciting for them to look forward to. We are so grateful for everything the staff does for our children. Thank you for creating such a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for exceptional care for their children!

  • I enrolled my child in this daycare temporarily because I had no other option at the time. Thankfully, it did not last long, and I was able to remove my child from the program. During our experience, I observed that children were frequently kept occupied with phones, tablets, and TV rather than engaged in meaningful, interactive activities. In my opinion, there was a lack of educational structure and limited teacher involvement with the children. I did not see the level of attentiveness, creativity, or child development focus that I believe young children need. Many of the children appeared disengaged and overly attached to screens throughout the day. I was also uncomfortable with what seemed to be fear-based methods used to keep children quiet or compliant. Every parent has different expectations, but this environment did not align with what I consider healthy or developmentally appropriate for young children. For families who value active engagement, warmth, and educational interaction, I would suggest carefully considering your options. I would not recommend this daycare.

  • I am so glad they had available space for my son, this place is not only super cute and cozy, it’s so friendly and so free. My son attended only one daycare before this one and his mood has changed so much. He loves his teachers and friends.

  • My daughter attended her about 2 years ago! My nieces also goes here. I love them; this day care; the staff is always so friendly. My daughter had an amazing time and she often says how much she misses being here!

  • Only place I feel comfortable leaving my son, coming from an over protective parent.
