DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS CHILDCARE!!!
They sent a baby home with a bruise on the side of his face. No explanation given. There are several negative reviews dating back years, obviously this place has a history of being unprofessional and unsafe for kids.

My 4 year old has gone here for a little over a year (sometimes full/​part time) and I am pleased with their care for him. Don’t get me wrong they do not have all the bells and whistles but I think they do a good job with what they’re working with. The relationship we have developed with his teachers (Mrs. Syble, Mrs. Debbie, Mrs. Webb) is unbeatable. I searched several other facilities in the area and I didn’t have the secure «feeling» that I expected to get. I feel that they go above and beyond keeping my son happy and safe and I appreciate the effort they put forth him. Managing children from all sorts of behavioral/​educational backgrounds is difficult and they display a lot of patience, care, and concern. They do a great job recognizing that my son is great kid. The discipline that I’ve seen displayed hasn’t been inappropriate in any way. Every Friday they have someone come in to do physical education, the play facilities are awesome (inside and out), and they do plenty of activities (sing, work, and play). The children receive weekly folders with a recap of what your child has done and a reading log to encourage at home reading. They also receive 3 meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and 2 snacks. The entry is coded and locked. The hours are convenient. All in all I’m glad I chose them and think they do a lot for the children who attend.
As far as the report of the child with the bruised cheek… If this were the case for my son, this review would be entirely different. I would hope that no one at this facility would react to a child this way and from my dealings with the teachers that have contact with my son, I can’t imagine them doing that. I’m only speaking from my personal dealings with the staff.
I’m sorry to whomever had to deal with this situation.

A baby boy was slapped horrifically! It was very visible, you can see a grown adults hand print and then they tried to cover it up with two different stories, one being he fell on a «toy» and then «another child did it to him» YEA RIGHT!!! Get your head out of your ass and take responsibility before the law enforcement does! Oh wait they did! Channel 5 news also got in on it! Don’t go to this place If you care for your child DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT leave your child here!!! PLEASE just hire a nanny for your home and have a video cam, don’t resort to these nasty horrible places to take take care of your precious babies!

Do not trust this daycare. Adults are abusing children here… then trying to pass it off on other children, or falls… the most innocent creatures in the world, and they are NOT safe here.

Horrible people who sent a small 16 month old home with ADULT size hand bruises on his face. I wish i could post the picture. Changed their story TWICE on how it happened. There needs to be justice and this place needs to be SHUT DOWN. Do not send your child here.

Unfortunately zero stars can be given! I cannot imagine coming to pick up my child to see that he/​she had been physically abused. When taking your children to daycare in order to make ends meet, we take them where we can afford. Not where we wish they could be. No matter the price DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD or CHILDREN HERE! How awful can the staff be to blame obvious abuse from an adult on another toddler. Lies. Deceit. This place needs to be shut down. Don’t take your kids here, and if they are still here, RUN away from this place with them as fast as you can!

16month old baby with a adult size bruise on the side of the baby’s face. They had no explanation on how it happened this place needs to be shut down!!!

I have two daughters at both locations. I’ve worked with the same teachers for the last 3 years. I do know that the child to teacher ratio is a little high but I have never felt my children or any others were neglected or ignored. The kids all seems to be well-​behaved. I’ve never heard a teacher curse or anything inappropriate. I’m told about any bump or scratch, which i really appreciate. They make sure to let you know when diapers or wipes are running low and the cost is excellent.

Walked In, Walked Out.
