This center is AWESOME! My children love it here. As a mother of 5 children who all attend daycare, it's hard to find a daycare suitable for each one of them. My kids love their teachers and walk into school everyday with a smile and come out with an even bigger one. To go to work everyday and know that my babies are in good hands is one of the best feelings ever!
