ExcellentBased on 34 reviewsStella Hong23 October 2023We are incredibly satisfied with the childcare center where our child, Ellie Lee, has been attending for the past two years. The center boasts spacious and clean facilities, and the teachers are always welcoming and friendly. The educational program provided by this center is truly exceptional. Ellie has gained a wealth of knowledge about scientific facts, which often surprises us as parents. She has thoroughly enjoyed acquiring this knowledge through engaging activities, making the learning experience far from dull. Furthermore, the center has helped instill a sense of independence, responsibility, and a strong work ethic in our child. Ellie now prepares herself for kindergarten in the morning, and when she plays with her toys, she always cleans up after herself. She has also learned the value of patience and compromise in her relationships with her peers. We are truly grateful for this wonderful childcare center.Femi Daniati27 July 2023Your children will get the best care and our lovely educators will support your children learningGladys Campbell27 July 2023Incredible, hard working, fun and super helpful !!
