Excellent run daycare that has a professional staff that not only love and care for the children, but administer daily learning activities that are outstanding. Communication from the teachers and administration to the parents is excellent. Best school ever and just know your child will be prepared for kindergarten.

My extended family has had kids in their program for a total of 8 years (over 3 kids). They have a professional and well-trained staff that cares and educates the kids so they are ready for kindergarten. Also, the kids love it there as they do a great job of making learning fun!

Amazing staff that is super attentive, caring and engaging with the children. We do not live close, but we make it work, as their curriculum starts in the infant program and goes till the child starts kindergarten. Cannot say enough about this place.
