"This daycare is so awesome every day my toddler doesn’t want to leave when we go to pick her up she loves going to this school when we pull up to drop her off she says outt and as soon as we get her out and bring her in she goes straight to her spot for breakfast and cartoons she loves going I’m over all happy that we sent her to daycare where she’s around other kiddos.Ms Tracy is a great person and she goes way above and beyond for her kids"

"My son started going to this daycare at 5 1/2 months old and I was working part time an use to sneak in to see if I can see anything before anyone knew I was there and never had a problem at first except the second or third day I picked him up an he sounded like he's been crying for hours and I addressed it an after he got use to it he kind of got better with staying. Then when he was 3 I decided to take him out due to the staff and what I feel is lack of teaching to the children Only two people at the daycare I even liked! Nell which is buddy buddy with the owners is not to great of a person! Anyone and everyone I will warn you about this lady because obvisely the owner doesn't do anything to stop her. I had 4 people tell me how she handles the children. Yelling in there face, grabbing an shoving them in the wall for time out and even shook a baby in the baby room a long time ago like who would keep an employee like that. YOUR SUPPOSE TO LOVE YOUR JOB!? I had to miss work in the morning to have a sit down meeting with owner an they just brushed it off. My son was coming home with marks and burses with NO INCCIDENT REPORTS! She wouldn't even speak to the parents it was sad! but anyway I made the best decision to switch daycares my son loves his new school and his new teacher! He has learned so much and his stuttering has gotten so much better! Sad that when my kid was coming home to school he told me he was in time out everyday and with this new school he is full excitement when I pick him up to tell me NO TIME OUT MOMMY!!!!!! like really? that sad! where is the positive reinforcement? Anyway long story short Pick wisely of what daycare you trust !!!!"

"They looked after my daughter for over one and a half years. The staff is great the owners are great. they helped my daughter to grow, learn , and play. My daughter has a hearing problem that causes a speach problem and they were great working with that. The kids are well behaved (as much as you can expect). The only bad thing is the parking lot can get crazy during "rush hours". Great play equipment and kid activities. Easy to get to location. Most important though is there first priority is the health and safety of the kids."

"I cannot say enough about this daycare. They are wonderful with the children. My kids never want to come home. The staff is so sweet and the owners go above and beyond to make sure that everything is the best for the kids. The daycare is also very clean. I never walk in and smell any bad smells. And if anything is going around they are always cleaning the toys with bleach to kill all the germs. All of the teachers show so much compassion for the kids. I never have to worry when I bring my kids. They are very well taken care of while they are there!"

"I'm giving this place a one star because the elderly women who is over the daycare was very discriminating to me and my husband plus it not the clean or healthy wise due to allowing children with contagious illness as hand, foot, and mouth disease and etc. Yeah a cold or something like that is common everywhere including schools but a painful non medical treatment illness like that is frightening for a first-time mom such as myself so never again will I trust this place nor other daycare first try first lesson learned first mistake never again and I making it a big deal over it because soon after he had it I got it and yes adult can get it too so before one say bullsh!t there are cases where adult and elders gets it too and for me it is horrible I wouldn't even wish this upon the dev!l himself so yeah they need better staff need to check on the kids better and everything because my baby was perfectly fine until I agreed to take him there and now I regret every bit of it and I'm not a regretful person ever"
