I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My granddaughter attends here. She gets amazing quality care here! She is loved by all of the daycare workers!! The facility is clean. There are toys galore to play with (more than what my daughter had to play with when she was younger) the food is great quality and my granddaughter loves it! My granddaughter has made so many new friends, it’s hard to keep count. Unfortunately the highest star rating it will let me give is 5. If This system gave more than 5 stars, I’d rank it as highest as it would go. I would give it an infinite amount of stars!!! My granddaughter is the most capable of hands. So I recommend Mini Miracles 1 million percent!

This daycare is the most amazing place on earth. My daughter loves coming here and playing with her friends. The owner got my daughter to walk and eat much more varieties of foods versus her previous daycare. I won't change this place for anything in the world. I intend on keeping her here until the max. age.

There are a lot of stray cats that are urinating and defecating in the yards in the area including the daycare. Myself and staff usually clean the yard before the children go out. However there was a hornet's nest above the steps to the yard. We could not bring the children out to the yard and myself and staff did not clean the yard in fear of being stung. We went to the park located at the end of the block for outdoor play time when weather permitted until the exterminator got rid of the hornet's nest. The inspector was already aware of this issue with the stray cats
