This is a hidden Gem. I love this Center/School. I am so impressed with all the friendly staff and teachers. They are beyond friendly. My son had only been there less than a week and all the staff know him by name. The Administrators are amazing, Julie is great, she has made the registration process so smooth and is so attentive. You can see she cares a lot about the patents and especially the children. My son has been to 3 daycares in the last 3 years and this Center is by far the best one in many ways. Mrs. Allyssa and Mrs. Amanda are great to the students. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6 stars!
