They are absolutely amazing. They have great staff that pays attention to the children individually. I have two children there and I highly recommend them. They are educating them, not just babysitting them. My 3-year-old can already count and read. I rate them a 10 out of 10!

Our kiddo was here daily from 5mos old to 2.5y (when she aged up to a bigger place). She was always well cared for, learned a LOT, loved going, and made friends. We so appreciate Ms R’s and her staff’s loving support. Whenever we needed a little more info, all we had to do was ask.

Ms Maria, Ms Olga, and Ms Rosa have been great with my 2 yr old and 1 yr old. Both have been here since they were about 4 months old. My daughter walks up to the door every morning smiling and seems genuinely happy to see everyone. Both my kids are thriving and hitting their milestones.
