"This place is the absolute best! Our 2.5 year old goes every day and has since midsummer 2020. The teachers are friendly, the place is clean, and everybody has a positive upbeat attitude. They have a biometric-based check-in/check-out system, check temperatures, and use the Procare app to keep you updated on your kids day. Brittany and her team are great!"
