We have had our children at DCLC for 4 years bwe made the mistake to leave once And got to an in home daycare to save money. We quickly returned. The center is a happy place for staff and children. The program is centered around education from infants thru preschool. As a baby my child learned sign language. As a preschoolers he is learning Spanish! Secure entrance, gym, fenced playground, loving and devoted staff, catered lunches, experienced with food allergies. My son is allergic to several foods. Some centers wouldn't take him. DCLC has helped him flourish and help me manage his allergies! It is awesome to know my kids are in great care while I work. I highly recommend DCLC. It's the best kept secret in daycare/preschool. The facility isn't fancy but I guarantee you will not find a better program.

A great daycare. All the things we were looking for. Great tenured CPR certified staff, flexible hours, keycard access, tons of indoor and outdoor play area, teach baby sign language and Spanish, teach Christian values. Julie and her staff care and genuinely enjoy their work. We couldn't be happier and would recommend to anyone.
