So far we have had a great experience at this center. I love the teachers that work with my children. They are caring, attentive, and seem to know my son’s personality, which is something that feels really good considering he spends long days there. The teachers in the infant room have also been great, and very helpful getting my baby used to bottles. The director and assistant director have been helpful and responsive to emails, questions, and any concerns we had when we first started.

Remember first impressions are everything and this place was not it. We scheduled a tour with the director at 3:00pm. We arrived at 2:50pm, rang the bell for entry and no one came to the door for at least 3-5 minutes. We could see into the office which was empty. After waiting a "teacher" I am assuming came to the door and said that she apologizes but her boss stepped out or lunch and texted that she will be back in 5 minutes. Whatever, no problem; we were early anyways! She invited us to sit on the couch which we did. However, the couch is next to a guinea pig cage that smells well, like dirty guinea pig cage and smelled up the whole place. We are animal lovers, but that smell is something. There were rugs thrown by the back enterance blocking the door, it is a Friday maybe they are cleaning but still looked messy and a fire hazard. There was also a broom and pile of trash/dirt right across from where we were sat. Overall the place smelled and was dirty. Even if they were in the middle of cleaning, you have a tour and this is your main hallway/entrance! We sat there until 3:15pm before we left. While sitting there we did get to see one teacher with a student in the hallway playing and helping him to communicate using sign language which I thought was nice. However we could hear the other teachers/classrooms which sounded very chaotic and lots of yelling of the children and teachers. At 3:15pm, still with no sight of who was supposed to be giving us a tour, we left. Very unprofessional, unimpressive, and probably the worst impression you can give to a new family looking to trust you with their child's care. Not to mention pay a good amount for that care as well. Hard pass on this one.

Excellent daycare and teachers. My son enjoys going there and he is always smiling. The teacher loves him dearly.

After only a month or 2 of my son going here I decided I needed to find a different daycare for my son. The teachers seemed like they didn't even want to be there. The kids were misbehaved and the teachers didn't seem to do much about it. It didn't seem like my son learned much of anything. My son didn't seem to enjoy his time there. Paying all of that money I feel like the care and atmosphere should be way better. Would not recommend.
