Parent Reviews

It is a very reliable place, Dake is super attentive with the kids, she is a person who shows that she is not like many others who only care about money, she loves children. The other girls are super attentive and responsible, my daughters love it. They have been with them for 3 years now. Thank you for your services.

-Edwin R.

Its amazing how God works. I have 3 children, 13, 8, and 1.

So the first thing i noticed was how clean and calm things were and then secondly she had all her certifications and any information you would need displayed on the wall. She immediately handed me her resume. She also has a television where you can see cameras on the whole house. We began to chat and I immediately fell in love with her day care. I decided to give it a week trial. My baby didn't even cry on his first day and Dake sent me pictures every couple of hours and checked in with me the whole first week. I swear coming across this place has been such a blessing. Now my baby doesn't even pay me any mind once i drop him off. He has made so many friends and he is super attached to his caregiver Scarlett. This place is just amazing and i can go on and on about it. Take my word for it! Dake’s Day Care is a safe and family friendly environment from small babies to preschool. I am thankful that i have my baby somewhere and i am worry free!!!

I live a little far from that place but I have my daughters in that day care because I have known the owner for a long time, she taught me at college, yes she is young, but very professional and responsible. Since you feel like family
