My daughter has been at the daycare for nearly two years, and I am extremely pleased with the care and affection she has received. Unfortunately, due to our relocation, we have to move her. However, I would enthusiastically recommend this place to anyone. She truly enjoyed her time there and still misses her friends and wonderful educators. Thank you very much for taking such wonderful care of my daughter. Read more
