What parents say

This daycare is an absolute joke. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Our 1 year old nephew would come home with diaper rashes from not being changed frequently enough. But the worse thing about this place is when they close or are opening late- they give zero notification to parents. You just show up to a closed facility- zero communication about the status of their services. Terrible customer service!

Every since my 4 year old son started attending this daycare he have learned so much. I can not make this up, he is now speaking Spanish thanks to his bilingual teacher, he know basic site words, colors and numbers. More importantly, we all fall on hard times, Precious Moments have always worked with us! They express empathy and are very understanding. We could not have choose a different school.
