    I placed my son with child serv a while back. I knew I my heart it was best for him. Turns out it was. Child serv goes above and beyond to help these kids. Let's just say we have enjoyed every minute of working with them When it was time to leave I wanted to bring staff with us. They more like family. Love this place.

    If there was a --10 thats what they would get!!! I have an autistic grandson being raised my his father, my son!! Maxx is a real joy and my son is nothing but proffessional when he reaches out for services for his son...this place denied my 7 yr old grandson services because supposedly she didnt like a comment my son made....yet it was NEVER revealed just what that was!!!!! DENY A CHILD BECAUSE OF AN UNDISCLOSED STATEMENT? I would be very careful of dealing with these people because if they happen to know or be related to someone who doesnt like you...they make up stories like this and deny an innocent child a normal life!!!! I will NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!

    We have a special needs Granddaughter that absolutely LOVES the staff, other children and the fun activities. She spends a weekend a month there and always returns home with a huge smile. Staff seem loving, patient and, very good with our Granddaughter. Thank you for what you do and how well you do it.
