  • My daughter has been here since 6.5 months old. Let me just say, she treats it as her second home!!! She asks for Amanda by name even on the weekends,lol! They are professional and empathetic at the same time. I love them. By the way my baby is now 3 years old!!!

  • Very unprofessional and Rude! The first day I walked in with my child the workers did not acknowledge me or him at all or give me a tour of the “Daycare” one of the workers just filled out the application and then I left. I never got a tour of the daycare and it’s in an Apartment which I highly don’t recommend. They don’t keep you updated of what your child is doing daily or what meals they have everyday. When I pick my child up I am not allowed to go inside they make me stand in the hallway and bring him to the door as if they don’t want me to see something. I would not recommend this daycare to anybody. They definitely don’t make you feel that your child is safe in their hands. They did not show me where my child would be taking naps in fact the first day I went there to get the application signed I seen a kid sleeping on the carpet. One day I came to pick my child up one of the workers was laying in the bed talking on the phone. Unbelievable place is ghetto!

  • Rainbow Stars has been my “Village” since day one, My family started with Rainbow since my first born was 6 months old. The business owner and the staff is like a family and they treat the children as their own, in the best way. My 2 boys always want to stay longer to play with their friends and always came home with a great story to tell. Nina the business owner is actually amazing, she communicates with every parent so well. They Update you days in advance of any special days they are closed, or if my kids need anything. And works with parents that need any help with anything. My Children will be apart of the Rainbow family always. Thank You for everything.

  • My two girls 2 and 1 have been coming here since January and they love it! I can tell what they learned for the day/week because they always come back home with new words, phrases, and songs. The staff are very patient and friendly with the children which is awesome because my youngest is not always open to not being around me but daycare is the one place she will actually wave goodbye! I absolutely love Rainbow Stars and I’m so fortune that it is close by. It is so refreshing when you have a safe place for your children and Rainbow Stars is definitely our haven! Thank you guys for treating my little ladies with so much kindness we love you guys!!
