My daughter has been coming to this daycare ever since she was old enough to be here. Throughout that time span, both of my kids have learned and improved so much! I love all the crafts they bring home and the activities to help with their motor skills. This daycare definitely has my children reaching ALL their milestones. Such loving and caring people here. I wouldn’t take my children anywhere else.
