My daughter started here when she was about 6 months old. The daycare I had her in previously was not working for us - she would come home clearly unhappy. There was a drastic change in her mood after starting her at Living Well - she was SO much happier. She is now 18 months old and has a smile on her face every morning when we walk in and every afternoon when I pick her up. The staff is wonderful and easy to communicate with. We are so grateful to have found them - as a parent it is so important to have peace of mind when leaving your child is someone else's care, and we have certainly found that at Living Well. Thank you so much to the teachers and staff for everything you do!

Teachers at LivingWell daycare may not remember everything to be done in a day, but we remind each others what a great job they are doing as a team. Our teachers are caring and we love nurturing our kids to make good choices. Our directors, Mr Donnie & Mrs Theresa are kind-hearted and dedicated for the kids and their staff, that's why the teachers are grateful for the friendly atmosphere provided at the daycare.

My son started at 20 months and was developmentally behind. After attending Living Well, he had excelled and is ahead of almost every milestone. Both my kids are treated so well and every concern that I have is addressed and handled with the upmost professionalism. So happy with our choice.

My daughter just turned 1 years old this month. She began attending Living Well the beginning of March 2022. I am very pleased with my decision. The staff is very loving, and caring. The daycare is clean and well maintained. I never have any issues with communication. My only personal request would be for cameras to be installed. They do have an app where my child's day and pictures are posted other than that, The owner Ms. Theresa is a sweetheart. Living Well is a great choice!

Maybe a few years ago they were a good day care but my guess is the people leaving good reviews are friends and family. This daycare is mediocre at best. Your children are not safe here. Don't waste your time or money. They do not care about your children they only want your money. High turn over rate, and over worked staff.

The above statement is untrue. We do not just have friends and family leaving reviews. I am sorry that the above person feels this way. If you are looking for care, please come in and see us. We would love to share with you our vision and discuss any questions you have.

This Center is absolutely amazing and God sent for our family! I was in need of a great Day care for my children and when I did my tour of this place I was very pleased! Mrs. and Mr. Patterson have been a blessing to our family! Mrs. Rachael and all the staff are wonderful teachers. Loving, kind, and patient! Trinity was so well prepared when she started Kindergarten that she was above her class in everything! Trinity is now on the principle honor roll at her current school and I owe this honor to this lovely establishment. They are more than caregivers they are simply LOVE! They also did an amazing job with our son Trintyn and helping us potty train him and learning his numbers and alphabets! If one is looking for a Christ filled loving environment, this is your place! We Love Living Well Christian Academy!!!

Mrs. Patterson is absolutely amazing! They treat our three month old daughter Ivy like a princess. I always feel safe knowing that Ivy is in their care. Mrs. Patterson staff is caring, polite, and respectful. This is a place where you can drop your kids off and not worry about a thing. Can we read it

I absolutely love his daycare! My son was very non social before he came. He went to another daycare where he was just not happy and neither was I. I had saw this when I first had him and decided to go with someone else. Well we came and I wish this was my first choice. My son is so happy and so am I. They treat us like family and my son smiles soon as I ring the doorbell! We absolutely love it and he will be there until they won't take him anymore!!!!

This Daycare is phenomenal! This center is just like one HUGE family! Everyone knows one another by name and the teachers all work together. We've had a challenging time with daycare before we came here. Kadience was always sick and was always at home and of course I still had to pay her fees. However since coming to living well, the most she's had is a runny nose and nothing more. This speaks volumes because it shows that they're on top of infection control as well as sanitation. The children that attend this center enjoys it, and you can tell from the amount of little giggles you hear when picking up and dropping Off.
Kadience will remain in their care, for a very long time! She's not going anywhere
Parents check them out, you won't regret it! I'll also add the director is an advocate for healthy eating which is a plus for me!

Mrs. Patterson has an A+ rating in the childcare business arena. She operated a successful in-home business in Columbus, Ohio and I was fortunate to work for her. The children are well cared for and she cares for them all as her own.

Theresa watched my two girls (3yrs and 1 yr) for about 5 months. We only ended with her due to a change in my husband's work schedule enabling him to stay at home with our girls. Theresa provided the best care available for both girls and worked well with my older daughter who has a speech delay and other developmental delays. She was very loving with both children and it was evident that she really cared about them. My husband and I needed part-time care and often had to change our days of care, and Theresa was always willing to work with us. My girls enjoyed being there and were happy when dropped off and picked up. It was obvious they were well fed and otherwise taken care of. My girls had no trouble adjusting to Theresa's home daycare and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and caring environment for their child.

Theresa recently contacted me about my job posting to watch my 7 month old son. I currently work from home and travel from time to time. My son used to travel with me until he was 6 months because i was nursing full time. But i knew i had to take him to daycare eventually. Daycare center after daycare center was looking for something more permanent and full time, which is not what i needed. Theresa was very understanding and very flexible about my travel schedule. She understood my son wouldnt be coming to her every single week, every day, but she was still so nice and willing to have him when i needed to drop him off.

When i met Theresa i knew instantly she would be perfect. She is very warm, friendly, and i could tell she loved children. My husband felt the same way and shortly after meeting with her, I called her back to say we would love to have her watch our son when i was out of town. Being a first time mom and having to leave my son in someone elses care was scary, but when i met Theresa i knew all would be well.

Sure enough all was better than well! Kason was well taken care of, didnt cry when we dropped him off, and went to Theresa with no problems at all. She has a very baby/toddler friendly environment and lots for the kids to learn and play with. I would definitely recommend Theresa to any parent looking for an honest, friendly, and loving care giver for their child.

I met Theresa when she began working in my son's daycare, as a teacher. At that time, we were taking my 18 month-old son to specialists for his ongoing speech issues, ear infections, concerns about learning and growth, etc. Theresa always listened to our concerns and treated my son with special attention as she was permitted, in addition to her class load. We had continuous conversations about my son's progress and any areas which he needed extra help.

Theresa has a passion for teaching and child development, which is clearly demonstrated with her interactions with the children she cares for - they love her. She is honest, open and caring, which are valuable qualities to parents who entrust her with the care of their children.

My husband and I placed the care of our daughter with Theresa in July 2009 when she was about 6 months old. Theresa cared for her until December 31, 2010 when she moved to Florida.

My husband and I were very happy with the care Theresa provided. My daughter is a special needs child and needed extra care and attention. Both of which she received daily. When we started with Theresa my daughter was like any 6 month old with her daily routine of eating and napping. She did however require medication (enzymes) before each feeding. Theresa was very good at administering these medications to our child. In May 2010, our daughter had a feeding tube placed. Theresa again took on another responsibility in the care for our daughter. She was now having to do 1 feeding a day through the tube. There were several occasions in the year and half that our daughter required medications orally and Theresa was good about giving these medications. We provided all medical information to Theresa whether it was to administer medication or her updated shots.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better caregiver for our daughter. She was learning new things everyday and enjoyed getting up in the mornings and going to Theresa's. We never had a problem when dropping her off in the mornings. Somedays she would not even tell me bye she was so excited to get to the playroom.

Theresa and her family took us in to their home everyday. They cared about our daughter greatly. She was hospitalized a couple times and Theresa would either come see her or call to check on her.

Theresa is a great caregiver and I was glad she was part of our lives.
