- AHAlexis Hoy5 days ago5.0If I could give 10 stars I would! The second you walk into this daycare you instantly get an overwhelming sense of relief. The director, Jen is the glue!! She’s welcoming and makes you feel like family the second you walk in the door. She will do every and everything she can to help you and reassure you. I’m a first time mom and finding a place that made me and my child feel comfortable, safe, and ensure that he was being well taken care of were my top priorities! My son started in an infant classroom in May earlier this year and has since advanced to a toddler classroom. There are daily updates of diaper changes, nap time, what activities they work on throughout the day, how much they are of their lunch, and best of all…pictures of your little one making friends and interacting with other kids. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you all for everything that you do and for taking care of our babies and loving them as much as we do ❤️
