Real Reviews from Local Families

"Karen is amazing, the daycare workers are all amazing my child is not a big fan of change and when we switched here in 2022 because of a move I looked at the DHS reports and was very happy with this place. When I toured I was even happier. Now almost 2 years later they’re some of the best care providers I could’ve ever asked for. Regardless of what the reviews say because of biases they treat my son amazingly. He talks about his teachers and how much fun they have. Even when he has a bad day they still treat him with love and affection. If you want a family feel for your daycare provider I would pick all star over and over again. So much so that as I move I’m staying close enough that I don’t have to move my son’s daycare."

"I switched from an in home daycare to a center a few years ago. Since then I have noticed a huge growth in my son. Karen has helped me so much with his learning and getting us the help he needs. She brought in a therapist to work with him for PT, OT, and speech. She also brought up some behavioral issues he was having and since then we have been able to get his diagnosis and a start of an IEP for school. Karen and all the teachers are wonderful and truly caring!"

"My daughters were watched by my sister for the first couple years and we’ve never had experience with a daycare before. I am so glad that we chose All Star Daycare & Preschool. It was a hard transition for my girls (and even me) and Karen and ALL of the teachers helped to make it as smooth as possible. They have such a great staff who have been patient and attentive. I’m so thankful and have nothing but positive things to say."
