The school is a little more pricey but so worth the peace of mind I get as well as the staff/teachers are GOLD! They truly love the kids and it shows!! Emily, Bailey, MacKenzie, Rachel, GiGi, Doris, Heather, and Jaime are the heart and soul of the daycare. I love that I get pictures of my children doing fun things and activities. My children have been there for over a year and we LOVE them! You definitely feel like family. My children are on the shy side and reserved, from day one they have LOVED IT HERE!!!! I have also always been updated immediately about my children when something happens, peace of mind knowing they have cameras and actually do investigate the issue or concern. I feel like they morals and values match the ones I grew up with and am teaching my children. I WOULD NOT take my children anywhere else than here for childcare!

They take great care of our 5 and 3 year olds. It’s obvious that their teachers truly love them and my kids love them back. Good Christian people.

Extremely disappointing. After attending there for a year and my son getting sick multiple times with ecoli and addressing it with management, I received very flippant, unconcerned responses and no urgency to clean the facility or even look into the matter. Was made to think my children were the only children sick when 3/4 of some of the classes were out sick and staff coming in not even 24 hours later after being sick and telling me they'd been sick the previous night and coming in to watch my children the next morning. Not having protocols for staff to follow with illness is unacceptable. Not cleaning after each child on the potty is a huge hygeine issue. Especially not changing gloves between kids on the potty. Also piling sippy cups on top of each other in a basket is incredibly gross. Having the same cup of juice in my son's cup unchanged or not rinsed since the morning I dropped him off and it being warm and sour smelling. Or picking up a cup at the end of the week and it having slimy stuff in it. Also not okay to have kids sitting in front of a TV a good bit during the day (honestly even having a TV in a room for ones and twos is not good)-this makes it a babysitting service and not educationally based. Getting sent home with other kids shoes, clothes or blankets at the end of the week instead of ours. Not having consistent teachers in a room because they don't show or can't keep them employed. Hardly any toys in the two year old room. Kids climbing on tables, standing on tables etc for lack of supervision or teacher experience. Not to mention the multiple instances I've walked in and heard teachers full blown yelling at kids under the age of 3. Picked up my son after picture day one time after explicitly explaining to the teachers to change his outfit from jeans and a button down, finding him outside at 3 pm in the afternoon on the playground with no shade, red faced and sweaty crying his eyes out in jeans and a long sleeve button down in 85 degree weather. Horrifying and upsetting for this momma. Not consistent with daily updates at all. Also signing in kids on their computer when the child isn't even present that day. Needless to say we have picked another daycare.

Do not take your kids there. Bad management and very nasty place. Roaches are every where. Do a walk through and look for yourself. Not welcoming at all.

A great place to bring your children. The staff are kind and loving and it feels like a big family. A great place for children to learn and grow!

My kids have attended this daycare since they opened. Every teacher there is dedicated to not only watching the kids properly but teaching them. This is the best daycare in Marion County.
