If only there were more than five stars for this Daycare, it would be one of the few establishments I would give them to! Ms. Nancy and her staff have cared for both of my kids for four years. This woman absolutely LOVES these children. The way she interacts and communicates with them, the extra love and thought she puts into every holiday, the tender care for every scrape, bump and bruise - she’s truly a fairy God mother. Good times and hard times alike, she knows exactly how to handle any situation, every tear, outburst, you name it - she’s got it. And with grace, too. You WILL NOT have to second guess Rising Stars Daycare. I simply cannot recommend them enough. It’s gut wrenching sending your child (or baby) into someone else’s care, especially a stranger. I hope this recommendation helps ease the mind of another parent! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

Erin MartinJun 18, 2025When my son completed his time at Rising stars and it was time to move on to UPK, I cried. Not because he was older and going to big boy school, but because he was leaving rising starts and Ms. Nancy. The care and education he received in his 3 years there was astounding, and if I had to make a choice on a daycare all over again it would still be them. Every day is full of learning and motor skills practice in a way that is engaging for all the ages she has there, and best of all it’s fun. Nancy and her team goes above and beyond to celebrate all the kids in her care, and makes sure they’re not just a number in a class. It’s the hardest thing in the world to trust someone else to take care of your babies but I’m thankful every day that I chose Rising Stars Daycare.
Jaime RamosAug 31, 2024Best daycare around!!!! Clean, affordable, safe, and such a friendly staff!! I've sent all 3 of my babies and they all loved being there! It's much more than a typical daycare, this place is filled with love and laughter!! The kids learn so much and have play areas inside and outside. Anyone looking for a daycare, this is your place hands down!
Carissa ThompsonNov 18, 2021Multiple people have told me my son is such a good boy, well behaved, sweet, kind and caring. I tell every single person who tells me that it is mostly because of Nancy at Rising Stars Daycare, and it is 100% the truth. Nancy and her helpers truly care about the children that are there. At first, like any parent, I was so nervous to leave my child in someone else’s hands, but Nancy always sent me pictures in the beginning to help ease my nerves. Nancy and the helpers gave my son the best experience. He loved going there every day and even now, at 6, still talks about the fun things he did with his friends there and Ms Nancy. Rising stars is always clean, safe and so fun for the children. My son was ready for pre-K due to being a part of rising stars. Along with the love she will give your children, she educates them and gives them experiences to last a lifetime.
