School Reviews
5 5/12/2014
My family has been going to Plaza Childcare since 2011 when my first son was 3 month and I had to return to work. Out of all the local daycares in the area, i found this one to be the best. The facility is clean, I love the windows in the classrooms (you d be surprised to see that some daycares have little windows!), the staff is very friendly, and they do lots of activities during and after school hours. My son is now in their 3 year old program and I have a daughter and son in their baby room. They have been very accommodating to my family. I feel that they are part of my family because they ve helped nurture my children! Educationally, my son has known all his letters and numbers up to 20 since he was 2. He began writing his name just as he turned 3. He s become very well rounded.
