This childcare has been life saving for our family, when I drop my boys off I feel like I have dropped them off to a family member rather than a child care. Best Director you will ever meet and the most wonderful staff! I have a 17 year old down to a 1 year old and have had my kids at many day cares in the past and Play and learn underwood has by far made me feel the most at ease when dropping my children off. Keep up the great work guys !! Great Director = good Staff
