This is a wonderful daycare! They’ve taken such good care of our 11 month old since she started daycare at 6 months. The teachers are excellent and really care about the kids. I love getting all the updates and pictures of our baby throughout the day on my phone. They feed her delicious meals and snacks each day, and she seems very well cared for. On holidays, they often do little craft projects that they send home to parents. It’s very sweet. I'm so glad we chose this daycare!
