My 4yo daughter started at this daycare 9/17/2025 and at pick up, the after school staff raved how great she did on her first day. The next day I went to pick her up and the owner assistant who I never met and didn’t introduce herself stated because my daughter had a meltdown on the playground and told her teacher NO when it was her turn to stop playing on the swing was basically expelled. She was kind enough to let my daughter come tomorrow but wont be allowed back after that. I kindly declined because obviously my daughter was not wanted at their facility. As professionals managing kids, a tantrum will merits a time out or similar discipline. Funny how they wanted to enroll my son who’s autistic for before care and I’m wondering how would they manage one of his meltdowns if they are not equipped to handle a regular 4 yr old meltdown. I was also warned but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. This is for anybody who’s thinking about putting your child there make sure you have a backup plan.

Also from reading the previous reviews and friends having personal experiences it seems like this is an ongoing issue. It’s ok to let parents know that your staff is not equip for special needs or high functioning children but to encourage us to apply and make the decisions to expel them after a few days is very unprofessional and is very frustrating for working parents who would’ve took the time to look elsewhere if you were honest and transparent!...

The learning environment is fun learning all of the time. My baby girl is excited to go and exhausted when she comes home. She's excited when she tells me about her day. She loves the director. She says Ms Nett all evening. It really is a breath of fresh air to finally have found a preschool safe for my baby girl to...
