Testimonials

As working parents of twins, it was very difficult getting our children into a daycare setting.
As a result, we bounced from daycare to daycare until we could find one that had openings, let alone fit our needs. We settled on in-home daycares but were never fully satisfied. We finally found what was needed at Cox Children’s Center.
