They are always finding new things for them to do, games to play and awesome field trips. Her afterschool program and summer camp are the best around.

This place has gone downhill since the previous director, Ms. Marquita left back in January. The…read morenew director "Gussie", is extremely disorganized, RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL to not only the staff, but to parents. She's been in this role for I believe a little over a month, and she still has not introduced herself because apparently sitting in the office with the blinds closed is all she has to offer. If it wasn't for the amazing staff; Mrs. Leslie, Ms. Asante, Ms. Sara, Ms. Rachel, Ms. D, Ms. Celina, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Brooke, Ms. Ladonna, Ms. Kesha, Mr. Josiah, and the rest of the staff, I would have BEEN pulled my children out. I would love to give 5 stars, because this center has been amazing to my children, and the staff is phenomonal, but management is defintely causing a big problem!!

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities. However frustrating when older/larger kids are wreaking havoc and abusing the equipment while moms are talking with their backs turned away from the playground. Don't be those moms.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.
