Testimonials

On 6/24/2024 Anita Derbin had this to say:
We really like this daycare. The pricing is very reasonable, ladies who are in charge are very kind and friendly. Whenever I had any sort of concern, I always felt comfortable talking to them (think potty training, or other issues that can come up with little kids ). Speaking of potty training, they are very good at encouraging and helping with it. At some point one of my kids did better with potty at daycare than at home. Same with naps. Children also learn a lot - songs, stories, dances, letters, colors, counting, being independent.. I want to give a shout-out to teachers who work with my kids - I'm so grateful for them
