Tia D. says "We started with them a few months ago. I really like how they are caring, friendly and clean. They work with my hours, sometimes I'm late to pick up but they work with me. They all love my baby and he's happy when he goes there. There's no crying and he has never given off the energy that he doesn't like it. They always make sure he eats well and keeps me informed on all of his activities throughout the day. They communicate very well. I'm very happy here. "
