I was here for a football game. They are still building the sports complex and it is looking…read morewonderful. The field was turf and looked amazing. My only issue with the venue is the large fence surrounding the football field and the stands on the back side of the fence. The highest levels of the bleachers are about 6 feet and the fence is about 10-12 feet. When you try and watch the football game you have to look through the chain link fence or stand up on the top of the bleachers to see over the top of the fence. To me this is a design mistake and makes trying to watch a game difficult. Easy to get to, park and the field access is convenient. All-in-all I am a fan of this complex.

They also help out in classes often, know all kids very well, and hold town-halls frequently to stay even more connected with the parents. I also like their portal where I can easily email and manage payments etc. 2) Top quality facility: Center is bright, CLEAN, and overall an inviting environment for kids to play and learn in. They just installed brand new wooden floors (2017) which is an added bonus. Outdoor play area is also very well-organized and clean. 3) Curriculum based learning: In toddler class, they have a 'theme' each month/week and kids learn from story time, art, and fun activities. For example, if the theme is 'camping' for the week, kids will learn about 'camping' by setting up tents indoors, making smores/pretend campfire, singing and dancing to songs, making art with fall leaves, and of course reading stories. They also keep rotating toys and books to stimulate kids and stay up to date with current learnings. 4) Warm caring teachers: Since the infant class to now toddler class, we've had many amazing teachers who would open up their arms to my daughter when we come in the morning, diligently snap nice photos throughout the day and send thru tadpole app, along with very descriptive real-time status update (i.e. 'went potty', 'had XYZ snack', 'applied sunscreen', etc.), and share daily anecdotes when we pick her up.
