Kidz Day Care
5.0
As a single mother new to the area, I very much appreciate how good Miss Susan has been to me and my little guy, Nate. He lights up every morning when he sees her even if he's having a bad morning. He just loves his Miss Susan to death. I would never take him anyplace else.

My son attends the 3 yr old preschool and the afternoon daycare. Its perfect because his day changes from school to play. The staff is awesome and I really like that they have an age appropriate religion class and a weekly mass where he interacts with other kids of all ages.
