This place is fantastic, may look older and not beautiful, but the people inside are the care…read moregivers and that is what counts. Always fed, always clean, tons of activities for the kids, great place. Our daughter went there from 18mn.-9ish year of age before and after school care and pick up and drop off from local schools which is nice. Fair pricing, your kid will never go hungry there. Great place, great care providers, great management, great place. Don't let looks detract you, bc this place is fantastic to the kids and parents. The pricing is also fantastic.

Walked in today looking for a good daycare to leave my kids during the week, and I immediately…read moreregretted taking the 10 mins to get my 2 toddlers and newborn out of the car. But what's done is done, figured by this point it was worth at least taking a look on the inside. The place was rundown, doesn't look like it had been cleaned in a year. Was scared to touch anything knowing that we're prolly gonna get sick just standing here. I could hear all the babies crying in the other room, when I peeked in there were 2 adults and prolly a good 8 or so babies, half were crying. The one adult came to assist me, and left the other to tend to all babies on her own. Even tho half of them needed attention, the other lady was sitting on the window sill not even caring that babies were crying. My heart sank, these people had no love or even decency to help a crying baby. I would never put my kids in a place like this. I felt so bad for those babies in there, I wish that I could have saved them from the neglect they're getting at this daycare. This place is aweful and doesn't even deserve a 1 star

I caution parents of this place when you drop your child off. If your child is bawling their eyes…read moreout begging you not to leave them, there's a reason for it! They used to be known as candycane corner, and the reason is because they were under investigation for a child being bit countless times in one day. They had to shut down until the investigation was complete, and at this time they changed their name to our dreams. The menu that they have hanging on the wall is fictitious, as when I would ask my little girl what she had to eat she would tell me a sandwich. There was never anything fresh served it was always prepackaged processed junk. Yes they may be one of the cheaper daycare's in the area, but you get what you pay for.

CAUTION PARENTS: Do NOT send your babies here! Our Dreams? More like Our Nightmare!!! The staff is…read morerude and not nurturing, the owner is a liar and a fraud, the food looks awful, and they barely have any toys. My son attended for 1 week before I pulled him out. When I picked him up at the end of day 1 he was screaming, and I was rudely informed that he had been doing that all day! Extremely unusual for my son. Day 2 he was bitten, Day 3 he was gauged under his chin, which they called a scratch. He has been in daycare before and always enjoyed it. At this place, he would start screaming in the parking lot after just seeing the building! My mother's intuition told me that something wasn't right, and I went looking for a new daycare. (We found a new place, and he LOVES it. He jumps out of my arms now to run in and hug his teacher and play with his friends!) I had paid upfront for 1 full month at Our Dreams. I knew there was a 2 week notice that needed to be given, which I did. However, I asked if they would be willing to waive it so he didn't have to get attached to one teacher, and then another. Jamie told me that was fine, and Friday could be his last day. I was told I could expect a check in the mail for the 3 remaining weeks. I called, and called, and called, and Christy was never available to take my call. Finally 2 weeks later I received a check for only 1 week of the 3 remaining weeks I had paid for. Again, I started calling, again Christy would not speak to me. She finally had Jamie call me back to tell me that Christy changed her mind and decided to keep the 2 weeks of the pay. They are not only liars, but I believe something else is going on there too. There's no reason that my son was miserable there, and happy as can be at his new place. We are not from here, so I only recently found out that this place has changed names because they were under investigation for CHILD ABUSE under their old name Candy Cane Corner. It's a shame that this place is still operating and caring for young children. It's a shame the the own outright lied to me about refunding my money, but at the end of the day, the money doesn't matter. My sons safety and happiness is worth much more than a few weeks child care pay. If you need a place to take your children I would recommend Think Play Grow Academy. My son went there for 1 week prior to attending Our Dreams. The only reason we left was because they didn't open until 0730, which ended up not working with my new schedule. He loved it there, loved his teacher, and never had screaming episodes like he did at Our Dreams. He's currently at This Little Piggy, and I really cannot say enough great things about them either. Everything about it we love! Seriously, please take caution sending your kids to Our Dreams. Something ain't right there and the state needs to shut them down!
