Shalmal Spells: “I had just had a baby and was skeptical of daycares, but I knew once she turned one I would have to finally do so. I looked at many daycares including brightsides, Puddys palace, and about five others but I didn’t get that warm feeling. I went next to puddys palace to Thomas Learning center I had never heard of them it use to be Connect four. I went in and spoke with Ms. Lisa(the director) she showed me around played with my daughter a bit and the feeling I got from the was warm and comfortable. I loved the daycare so much I also put my 6 year old in there for before and after care. Ms. Mecca who has the toddlers is phenomenal, she has my one year old already talking counting to ten. I always recommend this daycare whenever I see someone asking.”
