We just started here a month ago and love the director, Kristina, and her whole team. My 3 year old is excited to go there everyday and he is learning so much. The facilities are super clean. I can't say enough good things about the place. The negative reviews on this place are from last year with a completely different owner and staff.

I would highly recommend checking the dates of previous reviews as the negative reviews are prior to the new ownership, director, and staff. They have completely overhauled this location and it is now corporately run. I will update this review if anything changes, but so far we love bringing our babe here. He always has a huge smile on when we walk in the door each day, reassuring me he is well loved and cared for. We get updates of everything throughout the day, including pictures of him learning and having fun. The new director is extremely kind and upfront about everything and she is continually evaluating where improvements can be made to the center (which is basically a state of the art brand new building) to enhance the learning of our kiddos. The teachers are amazing too and are communicative about the needs/updates regarding our little one. The center is super clean and organized and they take precautions to keep everyone safe using secure key fobs and ensuring covid protocols are in place. There are a few tech glitches the center is working through, but they are always upfront if anything is down or not working. So far we don't have any complaints.
