Ohh, let me tell you! My 2 kids love it! Both have been raised by a stay at home mom, and they cant wait to go over there to play! Especially on Saturday's!! My son is 4yrs. and my daughter is 9yrs. My daughter goes to a private school so she knows how Nice adults Should treat her, and she Loves it! She gets to play bingo and play outside, and she is never starved after their snack time! She was always hungry at other centers, even the in home daycares! She might have a high metabolisim, but she is well taken care of! They do not own a Tv in that building and I always see they doing crafts and assorted projects with the kids!! My kids almost always Never want to leave! Now this makes me very happy since there are times I cannot be with my darlings, to know they are sooo loved and cared for!! When I interviewed them, they had a little one who got sick and brought her to the directors (Mrs. Tanya) arms til their parent arrived; and when my son got hurt today, the director held my son til he felt better! They receive take my son off a school bus for his special classes he takes @ 1230pm three days per week and save him a lunch. They provide transportation to my daughters school and back; extremely convienent and with no extra cost! Wow! They are very flexible!! The staff is friendly and very kind with my kids even when they refuse to leave! The assistant director Ms. Jamie is very friendly too! I like Ms. Angie who I think works with the 1yr olds and works on Saturday. I cannot Brag enough how I am so found of Maxwell Preschool Academy! We been going here for 3 weeks. I would recommend this to anyone who want quality childcare! They take my Des daycare as well, just another bonus for me! They are open Monday through Saturday, and some holidays too! Enjoy!
