What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My son started going here last school year after school. They are great with him. I love how they have a teaching lesson for the kids other than just letting them play and watch TV. They have no tvs in their rooms just learning supplies. My son is attending another year here.
I absolutely adore this daycare. When you think about child care you want a place you can trust, somewhere your child can thrive and here you’ll find that for certain. After researching/Touring multiple daycares we landed here and every day as my son makes his exit with the biggest smile on his face I know I made the right choice. All these ladies put the most time and care into these children outside of their own/ personal lives and that’s all you can really ask for as a parent.
I’m so grateful for such an awesome daycare!! I love the hours, the staff is above amazing, and my kiddos love the breakfast! Ms Marshonda has been nothing but helpful since my first day when I came to tour the place.
My kids started going to this daycare in 2020 and they have been great overall. My oldest no longer attends but my youngest still do. At a point my youngest was a handful and they had every reason to kick her out, but they didn’t!!! Thanks Ms. Marshanda 😩 They were very patient with her while she was going through some behavioral issues. Which I greatly appreciated than and now because it’s very HARD to find a decent daycare. She’s older now and has mature and her behavior has done a complete 360. She loves going here and she loves their chicken salad sandwich lol. Thank you Candyland for all you do😊
My daughter entered this day care 3 months ago and I have seen many positive changes in her, she has learned many things like eating with a spoon, saying goodbye, saying hello, sending kisses among other things. At first I was a little scared since it was the first time leaving my daughter in day care, but today I’m so happy to chosee CANDYLAND. My baby is one year old and loves being in Candyland plus she loves all the people who work there. The environment is safe, clean, and above all, they take Great care of our children. (This is some of the activities she made for mother day plus they made so many more on special days etc)
