Our daughter recently enrolled in this day care a few months ago and she has blossomed. It is quite amazing. Her vocabulary, manners and skill set have increased substantially.

The owner provides a great outlined schedule for children that do not have regimented schedules already built in. Wholesome food is available for every meal period. She is more than accommodating to more difficult schedules. I would recommend this family child care to anyone.
