I wanted to like this school and I did at first. I was discriminated against and looked at like gum at the bottom of a shoe due to me being a holistic mother and preferring not to vaccinate my child. Before people turn their nose up do research on how these vaccinations are hurting and harming the population before judging AND STOP TRUSTING EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT IS TELLING YOU TO PLACE INTO YOUR BODY. Im into natural health remedies and the moment I spoke about an affidavit for my daughter the director look at me with pure disgust and also told my daughter she's disappointed. They cant turn people away due to exemptions but we were turned away. To be honest it was a blessing in disguise. It wasn't meant for my daughter to be in this school. The people seemed nice up until the discrimination. VERY DISCOURAGING, BUT ITS ALL GOOD. Stop being sheep to this worlds system.

If I could give this daycare a million stars I would. I live an hour away and this daycare is worth every minute of my drive. Ms. Karen is the most incredible person I have ever encountered. She is so understanding, and always have time to answer any question you may have. She truly has a heart of gold, and very compassionate about childcare. She has went above and beyond for me and my daughter. Ms. Grey I wish I could have her around 24/7. She is so amazing with my daughter. I love that she speaks Spanish to my daughter. I can tell how much she cares for each baby in her class. Ms. Natasha is a rock star. She always goes above and beyond to make sure I have everything my daughter needs before I leave the daycare. I just love her. She is definitely like an aunt (tia) to my daughter. I can go on and on about the staff. Every staff member does an amazing job. Miss. Leslie is one of my favorites. Even though she is not apart of my daughters daily care. She goes out of her way to help me when needed and to say hi to my daughter.
