We cannot say enough wonderful things about this dance studio! The teachers have an incredible gift…read morefor working with toddlers, especially those spirited little ones who are still learning how to manage big emotions and challenging moments. From the very beginning, they created such a warm, patient, and encouraging environment where every child feels seen, loved, and celebrated. Our two-year-old has grown not only in dance skills, but also in confidence, listening, sharing, and social interaction. The instructors handle difficult toddler moments with kindness, understanding, and so much grace. Instead of expecting perfection, they truly meet each child where they are and gently help them grow at their own pace. What stands out most is how much joy and positivity fills every class. The teachers understand that toddlers are learning far more than dance steps -- they are learning independence, confidence, self-expression, and how to navigate emotions. This studio makes that journey feel fun, safe, and magical for both children and parents. If you have a spirited toddler and are nervous about starting activities, this is absolutely the place to go. The patience, love, and dedication shown here are truly special, and we are beyond grateful to be part of this dance family!

Doodlebugs McCandless has the potential to be very good, but they have a major staffing problem…read more My children have been here since they opened in April 2013. In less than 2 years' time, this school has gone through 5 different directors or assistant directors. Either corporate pushes these local administrators out (fires them), or the local administrators themselves choose to leave for a rival center (sometimes for the same pay, which is pretty telling). The policies have changed with each director. Some directors follow the corporate policies more loosely than others. This has created a problem of consistency for children, teachers, and parents. Many of the older, experienced teachers are no longer there. In fact, I can only think of 1 who has been there for more than 6 months. Last month (January 2015), 4 teachers or teacher assistants quit within a 3 week span. This causes me to wonder if employees are being treated well or compensated appropriately. To give an example, I have heard that one toddler classroom has been without a teacher for 2 months. They put a different assistant teacher in every day. A brand new person whom the kids don't know, and who doesn't know the kids. Then the next day it changes. I firmly believe that Doodlebugs is trying to hire someone, but they just can't get teachers who stay. Let me also say that every teacher has always been kind to my children, BUT, because turnover is outrageously high, the teachers or assistants are nearly always new, often inexperienced, no longer dynamic, and awfully young (18 or 19). At this point, Doodlebugs has exhausted its pool of qualified applicants and is now hiring anybody with clearances. On a positive note, the current director, Laura, is very good. If she stays, I feel that she will get the center back on track. But corporate must do their part to support Laura so that she has the tools she needs to build the center back up.

I would never recommend Stem Steps to another parent…read more What started as me calmly asking why an adult screamed at my son turned into one of the most upsetting and unprofessional experiences I have ever dealt with as a parent. When I first questioned why my son was yelled at, instead of showing concern or trying to explain the situation respectfully, the owner immediately responded with, "If you're going to falsely accuse me, his last day can be June 5." As a parent, that response alone was shocking. I was not attacking anyone -- I was asking why my child was screamed at. What made the situation even worse was that the explanations kept changing. After I questioned what happened, I was suddenly told my son had been continuously trying to open the gate and needed redirected all day. However, when I arrived and heard the screaming myself, it had nothing to do with a gate. My son was excited because he saw me arriving to pick him up and was yelling out excitedly. He was nowhere near the gate. When I challenged the story about the gate because it did not match what I personally witnessed, I was then told that it was actually another child who had been trying to open the gate. Yet despite admitting that part involved another child, the focus still continued to be shifted onto my son's behavior instead of addressing why an adult was screaming at a child in the first place. What is especially concerning is that I spoke with my son's support teacher, who told me he had a good day. I was never informed that he had severe behavior issues, needed constant redirection, or was causing ongoing problems. Those claims only started being emphasized after I questioned the way my son was spoken to. From my perspective, instead of accountability, honesty, or an apology, I felt like stories continued changing in order to justify inappropriate behavior toward my child. Even after inconsistencies became obvious, there was still no acknowledgment of how wrong the situation was handled. Instead, I felt blamed simply for asking questions and standing up for my son. Parents trust childcare providers to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for children. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling dismissed, misled, and deeply uncomfortable with how concerns are handled by leadership at Stem Steps. Most importantly, my heart hurts for my son, because no child deserves to be screamed at for being excited to see their parent. This isn't the first time Gabby has screamed at a child in this way. Also, this isn't the first time a teacher has witnessed her screaming at a child , and has done absolutely nothing about it because she will fire them if they speak up. It goes against the contract they sign when hired, apparently.
