A lifesaver. I’m glad my husband and I choose this place. As a new mom, leaving my precious baby with someone else was stressful. It means a lot having Ms. Jahaira helping me through the process. Ms.Jahaira not only provided valuable inside on what to do on the first day at school but was consistent in communicating. She gives us a high degree of confidence my baby is in capable hands. Thank you to the execution team for their professionalism in handling all my concerns. - Annabelle & Ayden

I have a lot to share about this center. let me start with my proud moment. Proud Moment: my daughter transferred to this center in July. the following January, she was invited to a birthday party with her friends from previous school. She was the only one who able to write her name in full there. :) My favorite about this center: Management & Genuine cares Management knows your needs, feels your pain. They HELP you. They are flexible and put their foot in your shoes. I know some of the teachers there, they enjoy coming to work everyday. The parents that I am close with also had told me how much they appreciate this center. That is what makes everything come together nicely. Unlike other daycare, my kids have the same teachers and friends for whole year.
