Wonderful smaller, family-feel, learning-focused daycare. Have been going here for 8 years. We appreciate the staff; they all go above and beyond to help the kids learn and engage in fun activities everyday fun. They put on a fantastic summer program with daily field trips to keep older kids engaged. Highly recommend.

We went here for several years. There are pluses and minuses. The location is nice. I like that it's off the main road and with a wonderful outdoor space. I don't understand day cares in parking lots with tiny outdoor spaces. They've definitely tried over the years to keep it clean and maintained. The biggest drawback is that the kids are confined to one room. They're nicely sized and go outside a lot, but compared to other daycares that have gyms and such, it's certainly a drawback. The most important thing though is the people they hire. It's been a bit of a mixed bag there. We had some truly wonderful teachers and some I didn't like. They have had some turnover issues here and there, but have some great teachers that have been there a while. It's tough to be great right now with difficulties hiring and places being understaffed, but we never really considered going somewhere else, which I think says a lot.
