  First off I want to acknowledge all the teachers that work at this care. They are very friendly and welcoming. I really appreciate the environment energy of this place. Also, I would like to acknowledge the communication for this place being able to receive emails quick and fast and being able to let me know when they had spots available has been very convenient for me as a single mom that’s in nursing school. I appreciate the consistency of communication. Very great school.

  WARNING to Parents – Please Read Before Enrolling Your Child My daughter began attending this center shortly after her first birthday. As soon as she started walking and talking, I was prepared for the next chapter—but unfortunately, what followed was a series of deeply troubling experiences. First, my 2-year-old developed unexplained black eyes. No clear incident was ever reported or explained. Not long after, she contracted a scalp ringworm infection, which I later learned was likely due to the unsanitary conditions of the daycare environment. These are serious red flags for any parent. I also had numerous unprofessional and upsetting encounters with a staff member named Victoria. She was consistently disrespectful and misused her authority. On top of that, they withheld incident reports that I am legally entitled to receive, along with financial documentation I requested. Things escalated when I pushed back against the disrespectful treatment. Because I did not respond submissively when Victoria made a demand—nor did I appreciate being dismissed when I asked to speak with someone in charge—she locked me in her office, called the police, and falsely accused me of assaulting a teacher. This was an incredibly traumatizing and unjust experience. After that, I tried to give another location a chance, specifically the one on Prosperity Church Road, hoping for better treatment. I spoke with Summer, who initially seemed professional and helpful. But sadly, our experiences only worsened at the second location. Please take this review seriously before deciding to entrust your child to either of these daycare centers. No parent should have to endure what my children and I went through. Assurance that this report be recorded and considered in the licensing and oversight process for this facility and any affiliated locations. I am prepared to provide photographs, medical records, and witness statements upon request.

  The care is ok. We pay $230 for our almost five year old. I get it's a private daycare. But their late fee policy. Outrageous. First ten minutes is $20 (even if you're a minute late) every minute after that initial ten minutes is $5 per minute!!!! I don't even make $20 in ten minutes and life happens sometimes, I stay late at work sometimes, such is life. And they expect families on top of the already high tuition fee to pay your staff their overtime!? You charge families enough, pay your staff overtime!
