Please steer clear of this place!! I witnessed so much bad when bringing my babies. I saw Mrs roro…read morespank her one year olds in front of the camera and I've always seen her every time I went back so clearly no one cared, another teacher would drag her own child to the bathroom and whoop him, I've heard teachers physically threaten the children in a "funny" tone of voice and also scream at the top of their lungs at the children, I've listened to the 3 year old's teacher who looks young enough to be in middle school talk about her love and sex life in FRONT of the children who are old enough to repeat it (and best believe they repeated it. I've also seen what she wears to work, heels, extremely short dresses and skirts. Why would anyone wear that to a daycare where you're supposed to be on your feet for hours?), as well as Ms roro talking about doing drugs and rolling blunts in front of the kids and with the other teachers, they have a mother who isn't on payroll come in and cook for the children and watch the children (so if something happened under her watch they'd undoubtedly lie to the parents about it because she isn't even supposed to be there!!! Let alone cooking for the kids! That's more than enough to get them shut down by the state), and when going to the infants room I've noticed multiple of their cameras do not actually work. So if something did happen to someone's baby, they'd likely never have a solid answer because the damn cameras don't even work!!! These people have also lied straight to my face when I asked them if one of my sweet babies was getting disciplined physically because he'd tell me when he got home that he was whooped. One time.. maybe it's a fluke, but 2, 3, 4, 5 times is more than enough for me to call them liars. It was written all over their faces. This place NEEDS to be shut down. I'm working on reporting them to the state and I will report them every single week if I have to until that place is GONE! Our children need to be loved and protected, this isn't the place for that!! I will tell every single person I know with a child to watch out for this place. It left me heartbroken, no one deserves to witness what I witnessed and hear the words my child spoke. Please beware and tell everyone you know, and please take the time out of your day to report this horrible horrible place to the state.

They offer lunchables during the week, and a Saturday pizza night. With that said, they advertise that they lock all doors and have sensors on them. That is not the case-the front door does make a sound when you enter but the second door, leading into the daycare area is not locked, no sound, and there is not always someone there assess who has walked in. When I asked if this would be addressed after the preschool shooting a few years ago, I was told by the owner that "no, changes will be made, and we'll miss having your kid here." With that said. We use this service sparingly, just be aware that it's not secure
