    If the inside of the facility has as much trash laying around inside as it does outside - gross

    RSWS - daycare that teaches kids it's OK to ignore safety and people with disabilities. RSWS continues to block fire hydrants and public wheelchair access with trash and signs. Repeatedly told, repeatedly ignored - safety and accessibility mean nothing here. It's selfish, careless, and illegal.

    This school/daycare clearly doesn’t care about public safety or accessibility. Despite being told repeatedly, they keep blocking a fire hydrant with garbage cans and signs and obstructing the sidewalk, making it impossible for people in wheelchairs to get by. Not only is this inconsiderate, it’s dangerous and illegal. A school/daycare should set an example for children, not openly ignore basic safety and ADA accessibility.

    We had a fabulous experience with their infant room. Sending your baby to daycare for the first time is hard, but the teachers were absolutely phenomenal. Ms. Rose & Ms. Gina were so warm and caring with my baby. They are such gems!

    We absolutely love this place, the directors, the teachers, and the way they take care of our son. They exceeded any expectations of what we thought we would get from a daycare. They’re professional, kind, communicative, and we love love love the app the school provides us with. We get daily pics, updates, and this unique element is the best way to see what our son does all day. He’s learning, making friends, and making art, playing music, reading, growing, and thriving. This is a real school experience! If you are looking for a safe and nurturing place for your child I cannot recommend enough.
