What parents say
It is only my daughters 3rd day here and I can't say enough fantastic things about this summer camp program! The kids have a huge variety of activities from swim, to walking field trips, to various fun activities (cooking, projects, etc) and more! I felt completely safe with all the staff working here, and the children here are so kind. No wonder this camp fills up so fast! I only wish I had known about it sooner.
Vicki Leong · 5/5 on Google · 4 years agoVery well run day care center. They treat the children like their own. They know everyone by name. They know all the parents and grandparents who come to pickup or drop off the kids. They have excellent summer camp programs that my son loves. I am so grateful for everyone who works there, the staff and the management.
