  • My oldest went there from 1yrs until she maxed out and my 3 yr old has been there since she was 6 mths. The ladies that runs the daycare are the best and the sweetest and are teaching the children correctly. Healthy meals cooked for the kids everyday.

  • This is a Great school/ day care, they are family owned and run. The teachers and staff treat my children with love and care. My children are excited to come to school everyday, and I’m so glad I found this place, I highly recommend them!

  • My daughter went here for about a month. The infant room was dirty, they kept the babies in there car seat of strapped into a chair most of the day. I would pick up my daughter and they had gotten her bottle nipples mixed up with other babies and pacifiers! I told the director I was unhappy with services she told me I complain to much😡😡 how do you tell a parent who works in the childcare field that she complained to much because I always say my 1 year old restrained and would cry for me during pick up!! They moved the daycare onto stony island but I'm sure it's still poor service.

  • My son was there for about six months. They set up this whole system to check your child in and out but out of the entire time I was there they never set me up on the program so my child was just another head there. After telling them not to allow my sons father to come and get him, they called me frantic one day saying no one was paying attention and that my son was already gone with his father!!! The last and final straw was when the director came to school two days after telling me she had the flu. Two days later my son ended up in the hospital with the flu and some kinda cold for four days. I never took him back and what makes matters worse is they never called to check on my son or to ask why he hasn't been back. It's been almost a month since I took him out and no one has contacted me on his where abouts which bothers me because they call home in high school if you miss one class so the fact that they haven't asked if he's ok let's me know that I made the right decision. Wide age range too many kids. In the morning it's usually only one or two teachers despite the amount of kids that actually come in the morning. Infants are left in car seats while they feed and chase after the other kids. Teachers going outside to smoke cigarettes every so often. Pregnant teacher at that. It's just disgusting!! But affordable if you like affordable this is the place for you
