My grandsons attend this center and I have walked in to a teacher yanking a child up by his arm and slamming him on the floor on his bottom. This same teacher has been known to slap children and be very aggressive towards children. Although mant incidents have been reported to the director NOTHING has been done. I wouldnt send my children to this place. There are great teachers but one bad apple spoils the bunch. Especially when its not addressed.

My three year old son attended this daycare center for a short time and he had a fantastic experience! When we interviewed this daycare center, the director Kelly took the time to give us a tour and to answer all of our questions. My son's teachers were well trained professionals who have a huge heart for kids. The teachers planned activities that were suited to meet and enhance the children's development, for example learning the days of the week with a song, talking about the weather, and being polite and respectful to each other. The teachers also follow a daily schedule,and the children seemed to understand the expectations the teachers had. If it was carpet time, the kids knew where they were suppose to be and if they were not following directions, the teacher would gently remind that kid and he or she needed return to their assigned seat.We had no problems with this day care center and I would return in a heartbeat!

I have been very happy with the care my child has received. I have a 4 yr old daughter who has been enrolled there for 1&1/2 yrs. She receives great care which includes preschool as well. I can't beleive the things she seems to learn every day. She constatly sings new songs or poems and loves to go see her friends and teachers every day. I would recommend them to anyone. They not only provide great care but their preschool program is awesome. We love it there. I give it 5 thumbs up.
