I fell in love with this daycare during my first phone call when I encountered Mrs. Shina. The joy, care, compassion and commitment she has when discussing the children sold me. She has a warm welcome environment and does not constrict children to one area. They are able to roam and explore in a safe environment, she is very attentive and communicates well with parents. My son feels at home when he is with her and at daycare. I wish I found her sooner but I am so grateful for her dedication and service to our children. My son does not cry when I drop him off and when I pick him he has a lot of good stories to tell me about his day. 10 out of 10 I’d recommend again!
Arielle WalkerApr 23, 2024Ms. Shina is so sweet and has a heart of gold! She took in my 2y/o with no problem. You can tell that she is very passionate about what she does!
Raterrika MatthewsApr 3, 2024As a first-time parent, entrusting my child to someone else's care was one of the toughest decisions I've had to make. But from the moment I stepped into the center , I knew my daughter was in the right hands. The facility is vibrant, clean, and exudes a warm, safe atmosphere. It's evident that children's well-being is a priority here. What stands out most is the staff. Each caregiver is a gem - professional, passionate about their work, and seemingly endowed with endless patience and energy. They don't just ''watch'' the children; they engage with them and teach. I've noticed how they tailor activities to suit individual developmental needs, which is impressive. I love it here and so does my daughter.
Brittany NolanOct 29, 2023Highly recommend this daycare. Ms. Shina was wonderful, and very accommodating for my last minute tour request. The school is very quaint, vibrant + joyful. There are so many learning + play areas- my son felt right-at-home when he walked in. This environment is nurturing and the care for each child is unmatched. Highly recommend.
TR RJul 14, 2022I absolutely love this daycare facility! From the first day I toured the daycare, I felt welcomed and it felt like family! My baby is always happy there! I love the entire team! I’m very happy! It’s also the most affordable daycare I’ve found in the Memphis area!
