  • Had a wonderful experience bringing my son here and trusting the workers. Marsha, Kayla, Amanda, Chris and all the the other employee's made my experience wonderful and im grateful for the help.

  • My son has been going here for 2 1/2 years and I absolutely love the staff. They all know him by name even the teachers that aren't in his room know him and greet him. They are always so friendly and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. Its very well kept and cleaned. I love all the activities and art they do with the kiddos. If I have any concerns they are quick to address them and actually hear me out instead of shutting me down or trying to deflect. As a single mom I have a hard time trusting my son in anyone's care other than my own and I couldn't imagine taking him to any other child care center. Thank you For the Love of Children for being so amazing and caring. Keep up the great work!!

  • Well I thought good things were happening until yesterday My daughter gets kicked out for puking only just because she got over stimulated n a little hot and a little hungry. babies spit up it's the same thing. Cuz when she got home she was perfectly fine with no fever and running all over the place. When she turned 3 and went into the 3-year-old room they would not tell me that she was touching herself. Because she was doing that behavior at home so it was concerning. Once you make a deposit for a few months and then all of a sudden you stop going and then giving them a two week notice they won't give you back your money until after pretty much being charged for a child not even being there.

  • If you're reading this review it's because you were stuck in a corner, just like so many, with how hard it is to find care for your kiddo. After calling, they were quick to call back and setup a walk through the same day. I did get lucky finding space, but their hours are SOOO flexible in case I need to drop off early or pick up a bit later. They have the best cost around the area and they have incredible programs setup for each level. Since bringing my kiddo they have progressed in so many areas - reading, writing, and social interaction are just a few. The staff at ALWAYS friendly - I know dealing with kids all day can be daunting but all the Staff are interactive with the kids and always have a smile. They always greet me and always say, "Have a great day!" and small words of affirmation really put me in a great mood.

  • Marsha was the first director that answered my list of questions before I asked them. She is so wonderful and the staff is great at communicating to parents. I cannot praise them enough. My daughter loves it there, and has learned so much.
