We had our 3 year old son in this daycare because we had heard good things from our neighbors and it was just 2 blocks from our house. There are so many reasons why you should NOT bring your child here, but let me name the worst points about this place, most of which I found out after our son was here: 1. Our son was having trouble listening one day, so they kept him in a highchair for most of the day. Remember, 3 year olds arent babies. We have a big boy and he was basically imprisoned for almost his entire day because the staff did not want to try to deal with the problem. Is this the correct way to discipline? I think not. 2. I drive by this place daily, and have seen so many things. In one instance, there were 2 boys at the end of the fenced playground. One boy was violently shoving woodchips into the other childs face, but the one staff person that was outside with the children was much too busy to notice. What were they doing that was so busy? Sitting at the top of the playground, talking on their cellphone while a child was getting bullied not far from them. 3. Their idea of staff is like a revolving door. Their staff members are almost constantly changing, which is also a problem because this is not a big place at all. I see different people (mainly teenagers, who are basically kids themselves) almost on a week-to-week basis. The only frequency Ive ever seen in the staff is the owner. Otherwise, they just have teenagers who appear to have no care for any of these children. Ive seen much too many examples of this, but wont go too far into it. 4. The staff do not interact or play with the children. They sit in one spot and either talk on their cell phones, talk to one another, or simply sit and yell. No real discipline is used, and no quality time is ever spent. 5. I once saw a ball go over the fence and into the street, and I watched as a staff member let a child out of the fence, go into the STREET, and get the ball all by themselves. 6. Another point about the owner that I wanted to mention, was that she decided one day without any previous warning that our son was kicked out. What did he do? He was having trouble listening, and she knew that she was getting in more kids since school was starting and didnt want to spend the time to properly discipline him. This put us in a very tough situation, since one day we had somewhere to take our son, and the next we had nothing. We both work full-time and attendance is huge at our jobs. It made for a desperate situation. 7. The day that she kicked our son out was the 1st of the new month. Since it was the first, she still demanded that we pay for the whole month, because he was there "for a part of the month." Im positive that this was done on purpose and timed just right so that she could kick him out and still collect our money. Unfortunately, with our DSHS terms, we did still have to pay the money. Please, as a parent who cares deeply for my children I beg you to never take your child here, no matter how desperate your situation may be. This place should be shut-down completely. I cannot believe the things that I see take place here, and will warn as many people as I possibly can. I wish you luck.

Let me start with saying, I live across the street from this daycare The staff is very attentive with the children, they interact daily outside. I hear them laughing as they play. I see the staff correct behaviors with dignity and respect, on one occasion I saw a staff member grab a child by the arm and I immediately called the owner and reported it, the owner took immediate action. It was the only thing I saw in 22yrs of living in my house. My grandchildren attended this daycare and never had any issues and never not once did they talk about mistreatment or disliking anyone. We are Thankful they are there to serve our community. Thank you for treating our children as your own. I can say they have my trust

My children have been attending this daycare for over 7 years. I have to say with the amount of time we have been here we have not had one problem. They develope a unique relationship with the children and treat them all as thier own. The owner Roxanne had worked with me during hard times and still does when needed the most. If anything was wrong you simply tell them and the put in a valuable effort to make it more than right. I recommend this daycare to the fullest. Your children will have more of a home environment than any corporate daycare.

This daycare is bright and inviting. I was apprehensive about putting my 14 month old in the care of others but he was always glad to go and enjoyed his time there. His teachers were kind and attentive. He got plenty of attention and play/learn time. This place is affordable with kind and authentic staff members. But dont just read reviews--go in and say hello! You will see how amazing the staff is!
