Our son has gone there for over a year full time and we have been really happy with the care he received. Lots of good time outside in their beautiful shaded backyard! Donna and Bob are wonderful caregivers and would recommend to anyone looking.

My two daughters have been going to Donna’s for over 4 years. We have always had an incredibly positive experience. It is a caring environment where the kids get to play and learn. My oldest daughter went to preschool knowing all her letters and numbers thanks in large part to Donna and her team, my youngest daughter loves all the songs they sing and the amazing backyard where kids get to run and play. Donna has a wealth of knowledge about babies and toddlers, and I have relied on her advice for years. Leaving your child in someone’s care can be hard, but I have seen the growth and confidence built in my two daughters and will ALWAYS appreciate Donna and her daycare.

My son has been at Donnas for almost two years now and I have loved every second of it. He looks forward to going everyday, the kids are happy, the teachers spend so much time helping them learn. He has tons of outside time, great healthy food and a loving environment. Donna even helped us potty train (thank god!!!). I love working with Donna and her team, and so does my son.

My Son has been going to Donnas since he was 6 weeks old and he just turned 2 in September. I have nothing but positive things to say about Donnas. Her home is always so clean, and smells like home cooking. She has everything set up so well for the kiddos, and the backyard is fantastic for them to play in the summer. She always decorates for the holidays, and my Son just loves it. He even asks if he can go to Donna and Bobs on the weekends! She truly cares for the kiddos like her own. I am really surprised at the negative comments on here. Granted, not everyone has the same style of parenting and people have different expectations when it comes to childcare, but Ive always felt like Im sending my little one to his grandparents house and not a daycare.

This was my first daycare experience and it was horrendous. The first red flag was on our third week in and only a total of 9 days at the facility Donna first asked how often I hold my 6 month old daughter. Then stated that I needed to quite holding her so much because she did not have the time to do so. I immediately started searching for a new daycare at this point and put in our two week notice shortly after this conversation. The second red flag was picking her up last Friday I was able to walk into the home.. no adult in sight... yet toddlers running about and my infant on the floor in a toy. Get her packed into her car seat and then proceeded to wait another 2 min before Donna came out of a back room with a sewing project in hand. In hindsight I wish I would have just left without telling her to teach her a lesson. This absolutely blew my mind. I felt no warmth, compassion, safety, or service was provided at this daycare and am ecstatic and grateful to have found an alternative so fast.

Donna’s childcare is awesome! She was a huge part of our twins beginning years.She loves them like they are her own. She has a house set up for kids, a big backyard, and lots for the kids to do and learn. Feel good about choosing donnas! We are so thankful for her and all her help and support! She even helps with potty training!!!!!!

Donnas house feels like grandmas house! Its clean, cozy, and my babies are happy when I drop them off and when I pick them up, which means they are well taken care of. Donna and her staff are all so sweet. Highly recommend!

Worst decision we ever made. I would give her 0 stars if I could. If you have an infant, DO NOT take them here. The reviews are true. We immediately took our son out of here care after what I saw. I almost reported her to cps it was so bad.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE! Owners are: Very rude, Does not work well with work, Changes availability randomly, VERY Forgetful (Forget to give medication or when he ate last), our infant had Consistent diaper rashes (I was told there are to many kids to change them right away, sometimes they have to wait), Infant was always hungry no matter what time we picked him up, Over billed (by a few hundred) & Did not work well with medical need (I was told they did not have time to deal with something like that) I was informed today that our spot will go to someone else UNLESS we pay $175.00 a week regardless of when our child went or not! . . . Donnas forgot multiple conversations about anything from medication, food, rashes, clothing and etc. Every day was something different with her, I wish we would of left sooner! I will never take my kids there again and discourage anyone from taking their little ones there as well.

Every time I come in it is always clean, the environment is very happy and cheerful, they serve the children well balanced meals and snacks, the kids seem to be very well taken care of and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Our experience was HORRIBLE. Child was dirty, had food on her, dirty diaper, etc. on a regular basis when I picked her up. People are rude, forgetful, and inconsistent. The pay schedule is all they care about. Oh yeah, and their subsidy paperwork for the state. We could only take it for 8 weeks and had to make a change. I wish it would have been sooner and I strongly suggest you not put your little loved ones in the care of this facility. I am not convinced it is even a safe place for children.
