What parents say

The school age classroom is only about 12-15 students and they can’t even watch a class that small with proper attention. In the last year multiple teachers have been switched out and my child said one teacher was asked to leave after hitting and putting hands on a student.

This facility is constantly putting the children in danger. There are multiple homeless that hang around the gate consuming alcohol. The staff is unconcerned with this when brought to their attention. The children are not safe here.

My son has been going here since he was 9 month's old and he is currently 16 months. He loves this place and no matter what time I pick him up, I always catch him having a great time. The teachers are all great and tell me about any concerns. My son has met many milestones during his time in daycare. Everything is sanitized and clean. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. 5 stars

I went there. Horrible, that’s all I can say, there is mold or something green on the water fountain. The food is cold and really never heated. If you want your child to go somewhere actually good, take him/her somewhere else because this place is horrible, I saw a worker grab a child by the arm and pull him, it looked like if the worker let go of him, he would have fallen. very horrible here.
