"I couldn't recommend this place more. My son just graduated their pre-k program and I have another that has attended that whole time as well. Safety and security is a priority and they've made me feel at ease. My children also rave about their teachers and I will too. Any concerns I had were addressed quickly and professionally. They really accepted my children and truly feel like family. They've been flexible with my busy schedule and still always welcome me with a smile when I walk through the doors. Ms. Wanda really brought my son out of his shell and encouraged him to embrace his kindness and to be himself. Ms. Tralehia was right there beside her and has always helped to make my children feel comfortable and safe. I'm so sad that pre-k is over, as I've really enjoyed the staff and all they've done to help my children grow and learn. Ms. V even played a pivotal role in the potty training of my other son. Her patience is unmatched and I can't thank her enough. Ashley does an amazing job and never misses a beat when it comes to the MANY questions I've asked and hoops she's had to jump through. To anyone that I may have missed... thank you so so so much for your role in my children's lives. We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with all the lovely ladies at this facility and I'd recommend it a thousand times over and over again."

"This center is amazing! I love how the teacher communicate with me. I can tell that I’m son is learning so much because everyday he comes home and tells me something new he learned. I would recommend the place to anyone looking for nourishing childcare for your babies ❤️❤️"

"I called the owner with an immediate need to place my special needs child in daycare while I am in school for the summer. I had to pull him out of a local summer camp where he was severely neglected on his daily drop offs. I explained to her the situation I was in and she got him in right away. Found the class that fit his needs perfectly and was very understanding. The staff is great and I always enjoy talking to them when I pick him up. Couldnt ask for a better summer placement for my son and I’m so grateful for this daycare."

"This daycare would have 5 stars if they didn’t hire mean unprofessional teachers. There is a teacher there by the name of Ms. V who should never be able to work around little children or anyone really. She yells at the 3&4 year olds all day long, puts the cover over their heads at nap time,she refuses them lunch if they simply want to talk to their friends. My child told me she pushes her and has even hit her. My child cry’s uncontrollable at the thought of having to go back to the daycare. The teacher neglects the children’s emotions, and tells them to get away from her, and doesn’t allow them to ask any questions. The teacher treats kids with special needs HORRIBLY. It’s so sad because the owner is a great person, so I’m really confused as to why this teacher still works there? My children will never be returning. Be aware parents."
