Dina does an amazing job making sure the kids are always safe, engaged, and learning new things every day. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about each child and creates a positive, nurturing environment for them. Whenever I pick my niece up, she’s always excited and has nothing but great things to…

Don't know how the care is there. Although, I can say that the location is difficult to find. I tried turning in a resume for a position there but it was impossible. I tried calling a few times but they never answered. 10 minutes later I received a TEXT MESSAGE from them saying sorry we missed your call. I thought that was unprofessional.
