Caring, knowledgeable and professional staff who really helped my kids develop. My children were at Sweet Briar for 3 years and are aging out. I am truly sad to go. We started at the Woodway Village location and transitioned to Sandra Street nearer to the older kids school after a year and a half. The staff is extremely kind and educated in child development. I was never concerned about my children's well-being. The diet is great and includes fruits and vegetables at each meal. This really broadened my kids veggie options at home which I appreciated. If a normal fall or something happened that

This is a wonderful place for our children. The staff has been so gracious and consistent with care, teaching, and support to the students. During the pandemic parents are kind enough to distance themselves during drop off and pick up. As our kids grow they miss their former teacher but can't stop praising their new teacher. We are so grateful to have found a daycare home.

Worse day care ever!! The location at Woodway village Apt is not managed by a licensed director. There is high turn over. The teachers are inconsistent. The one consistent employee is allowed to make decisions such as discontinue care if your child has any type of issues such as speech, cognitive and behavioral including children not being potty trained. The owner doesn't know how nor have the patience for children. You can not rely on this place to open as scheduled. There were times they opened two to three hour late and that's not on a poor weather day. It was due to employees not showing up
