Parents pay half price and the children get to work at jobs under adult supervision and then half the day they get to hang out like pre-teen and teens like to do.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As a new mother 35 years ago I had to leave my children at child care and they would cry. I felt like you should be able to create an environment that children would love to come to and not cry when they are dropped off. Well we created it and they cry when it is time to go home instead of when they are dropped off. I love that feeling to know the children are happy.
