Had my daughter there last year and i can say all management cares about is money! Very greedy admin! Not sure about the educators but i can tell they were unqualified through the paper work then sent home with my daughter! But main issue was how greedy was the management and after the last email we exchanged, i didnt feel that my daughter will be in a safe place i felt like she was taken care of only because we payed money! And this is definitely not a feeling any caregiver would like to feel! i was so happy to withdraw my daughter!

I absolutely love IVCCC and am so happy that I chose this daycare for my child. I was extremely nervous at first about sending my child to daycare but the IVCCC staff helped my child transition very quickly. They are a very proactive and welcoming team, which encourages my child to want to go to class every morning. Their facility is very clean. I would highly recommend this daycare.
