"The school was so clean! All the children we saw looked genuinely happy to be there, and the teachers looked genuinely happy to be working with them. The director and assistant director were friendly and professional. The assistant director, Joshua, took us on the tour and put us at ease immediately (we are first time parents, and this will be our first time leaving our child in care, so we were very nervous at first). We feel very comfortable leaving our 14 month old here because the site is very secure, the staff seemed to really care about the children, the curriculum appeared enriching, and most importantly the children we saw across several classrooms looked happy and engaged with theor caretakers."
"The school has a very institutional feel to it. The staff is friendly and professional enough but there is so much emphasis safety that such issues such as not going outside because it's 82 degrees (over 80 is apparently too hot) and not at least dimming the lights during nap time makes it seem like the school spends more time thinking about avoiding lawsuits than it does enriching my children lives. Then school also needs to redefine good food. Crackers and cookies are not a meal. Juice is not a health food. Children shouldn't eat syrup i.e. sugar at 8am. An infant shouldn't be forced to nap under glaring lights in a noisy room because it's safer. Children need more outside time. Even when it's 85 degrees and even when it's raining. I have brought jackets, sunscreen, and water bottles to school for just such occasions."

"Lots of change here at the school teacher wise- class size getting larger and largerand losing good teachers. Not really happy about that. The entire staff and directors mean well but I fear that money and quotas from the company are now more important than quality of services provided. Definitely run more like a business than a school now."

"I love our experience with the school."

"It was better before his teacher had to retire."
"My daughter and I are always greeted with a smile from Miss. Kristin, Holly, and Krystal! Great inviroment and excellent curriculum. Also can always count on Josh to keep me updated throughout the day while I am away at work!"
"I was overall impressed. If there was one thing I had to criticize was the fact that the teacher in the infant area did not engage with us at all, she was feeding an infant during our tour but reassurance is a key and an important factor during a time like this. I would've appreciated a little interaction with the teachers especially fi they are going to be taking care of my child.There was one employee who didn't even acknowledge my husband and I when we toured the toddler area, not even a smile. The only way I can describe her is she had tattoos on her arms (I have nothing against tattoos btw, I have some myself)and brunette hair. Its the little things that matters for 1st time parents and i'd like to be able to trust the people who will be taking care of my child. The Director was great!"
"I don't know yet.. I wish I felt more of a connection with the staff or atleast my childs teacher.. I feel like the atmosphere is almost kind of awkward sometimes and i'm just not sure how I feel yet.."
"generally it is ok. There are some amazing teachers (Jaleece, Erica, Brandee, Vanessa, Shelly) that take excellent care of my children and communicate concerns efficiently. I wish the hiring was more consistent as others do not communicate at all or if they do it seems defensive or judgmental towards my child. I think it really boils down to attitude and attentiveness."
"Very Poor. Operates like a military school. No care and compassion. The Director is not a child advocate. No backbone to make sure children are cared for, very disengaged. A lot of overwhelmed frustrated care givers.. directly impacting the level of care."
"Over all it's a great school but the teachers are over stressed"
"Pretty good experience, sometimes I feel like there could be updated toys, activities and food but overall it is really good."
