No one picks up the phone at all or calls you back. No one is ever in the office. They also failed to contact me about my son being bitten by some kid and when I called the other location, someone picked up and said they were going to update me but didn't. This kid left a teeth mark on my son, he was bleeding from his back, and all they did was take a picture and put it on an app instead of actually calling me like any normal daycare would. Then they wanted to lie and say he had a pinecone thrown at him but my kid said he was bitten. Looking at the other reviews, they have done this before. My Mom (who has been picking my son up) has told me that one time the door was left open in the toddler room and all the babies walked out of there. My son has told me they played this Five Night at Freddies show or movie and I know it’s scary for his age and he had nightmares that night and couldn't sleep. No one is paying attention nor cares about these kids. Look elsewhere for child care. Seems like they just pocketing money from the government.

My son kept coming home with bruises and bite marks. I tried to be understanding because I know my son is rambunctious but he never has gotten hurt to that extent. It was over and over. I spoke to the classroom “teachers” who were teens glued to their phones who clearly don’t know how to handle toddlers and children. Then I spoke upper management about my concerns but the owner was extremely nasty and insulting when she had no idea of what was going on but was defensive that I was insinuating that he could have gotten hurt because no one was essentially paying attention to him. The last two days I took him he cried with fear and I should have known better than to send him but I just started a new job and had no where else to go. The last day I sent him he came home with brushes on his head and arms like he was hit by an adult. I called the police who launched an investigation but they said since the bruises were fading by the time they saw them they couldn’t do anything. PLEASE, Please think twice, 3 times before you send your kids here. No child deserves that. Listen to your kids and mothers intuition if they go here and are afraid of be left. I wish I did. I wish I could have this place closed down. A nightmare doesn’t begin to explain what I went through in such a short time. Thankfully my son is in a new place and I haven’t had once single issue since.

3 of my children have attended this establishment. They are always so excited to go and always have so many fun stories to tell me when they get home. I love the app with daily pictures and timeline activity.

This is a very nurturing and safe environment. My daughter attends the VPK program and wrap around childcare program here and she loves it. I was reluctant to send her back to a daycare after the pandemic but the staff is very professional and safe and they allow children to understand and be aware of safety concerns. I also love the constant communication of my child playing and learning throughout the day through their Smartcare application.
