I can’t tell you how comforting it is to know that my two daughters are in amazing hands during the week. They are in the Plainview location. The facility is very clean, the teachers truly love the children and it shows. They are both having fun and learning everyday. Nothing is better then picking them up at the end of the day and seeing them smiling, laughing, and playing with their friends. Richard B.
