The quality of care and service at All About Kids has been fantastic. I was really nervous about putting my 12-month-old in daycare at the end of my maternity leave, but the AAK staff helped make the transition much easier than I expected. All of the staff get to know each child on an individual level, so it really is a community of caregivers. I definitely recommend this daycare!Read more
