My daughter has been at Jaad’s for almost 3 years, since she was 3 months. I was extremely nervous about placing my daughter in a daycare but after meeting with the ladies at Jaad’s I was much more comfortable. I love that Jaad’s has structure, organization, and most of all caring staff. My daughter loves all of her teachers and talks about them pretty much every evening. They aren’t just babysitters, at Jaad’s your child will learn a lot. I have heard horror stories from friends about other daycares and I thank God I don’t have those issues at Jaad’s. They provide a safe and nurturing
