I am the owner

Unfortunately there is two parents who refused to pay for their child's daycare fees and were terminated due to having large sums of money due have been giving bad reviews on this site. They have used fictious names such as Dana and Kenni, Kailayhe, Rell and Kassandra, which we have never had any parents with these names to write bad reviews. We are a Keystone Star 2 facility with accredited staff who has there Masters. We apologize for parents who want to report false information. Our child care facility would not be open if these statements were true.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This place is the absolute worst. I check every now and then to see if it’s still in business. They changed their name so many times because this is the absolute worst daycare facility ever. My child is 8yo now. He was 10 months when he went there (under another name, same owner) he was only there for 2 weeks. My son came home with bite marks and black and blue bruises all on his back. No one could explain why. I will be doing a much deeper investment because she should be in jail. It should not be this easy to have a childcare facility. Especially when you have to keep changing your name

My child attends the after school program there and loves it! He always has his homework completed by the time I pick him up after work. He gets tutoring from the teacher with his math.

If I could give this negative stars I would... The police had to be called because my 10 month old grandson was assaulted there and Jennifer Ortiz refused to tell me how he was injured and lied about letting me see the video.. Charges are pending.. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT SHE IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE A DAYCARE .. PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILDREN AWAY...

Staff is caring and friendly. Not sure why it received negative ratings before but my daughter has been attending for over a year now and loves it! She brings home art projects all the time and I see that she’s actually learning new things!
