My Grandson goes to this daycare for 1.5 yrs now. Most important to me is he feels loved and loves to be at this daycare. Its a warm and inviting atmosphere where the children appear comfortable and cared for. I dont have any other daycare experience to compare it too ... except how well my grandson is doing.

We have been bringing our son to this day care for almost 2 years now and our son loves the ladies who work there. The owner, Josee is really hands on and it's a comfort to me that she cares so much about the kids.

We've sent our son to this daycare for multiple years now. It's a small business run by a very sweet and caring woman, and staffed by similarly caring ladies. If you live or work in the area, I'd suggest checking them out.
