They use a special learning curriculum that is not only learning, but fun for the kids. Going here felt like family. The staff truly cares about the kids, and that doesn't stop when they've moved on. My kids still ask to see them, and miss going there now that their too old and in school. She serves nutritional lunches and snacks, and not the bland cheapo stuff you'd see at other centers. Your kids are in great hands here, and I wouldn't hesitate to ask if I was to have another child, or know of a child looking for placement.

I believe free play is important to a child's development and helps social skills, so 2 days a week that is our focus. I grew up in a daycare home myself.

My son is also thriving in his Pre K class and I'm confident he'll be ready for kindergarten next year. They are incredibly professional and take the kids' needs and developmental stages into account. I would absolutely recommend this establishment to anyone!

Although, I shouldn't be wary since I have two toddlers enrolled there for some time now and the assistant director seems plenty knowledgeable about the workings of a daycare. Both of my children enjoy going there all day every day. I did get the notion of it being easy to be removed from the program at first but, even with my poor communication and kids' potty issues, I've had zero issues with little hands daycare. As a single father of three who needs any help I can get I suppose they've even earned that 5 STAR rating in my book! Thx little hands

Staff has hardly any training, the director and assistant director have no knowledge in how to run a center. Treat employees like garbage. Treat kids and parents like garbage. Kicking children out with behavioral issues, when instead of trying to work with parents on a solution. Not breaking employees, or letting them eat, when someone like myself has a medical condition. Hires anyone, leaves children in timeouts for long periods of time. Don't work here or bring children here!

Koi is entirely correct. Donna is a very callus business owner. Her employees and students are…read moreresources to her only. Here are real examples: 1. Its true that she does not let children have seconds. They also end up eating the same food repeatedly for several days. The cheap leftover food from the meal before like cottage cheese would be served over and over again. This way when the nicer foods like cheese cubes were catered in she could take it home for herself. 2. I personally spent a day throwing up in a trashcan WHILE holding babies, because we are not allowed sick days without a doctors note, and you can not afford to see a doctor on her wage. 3. She has two playgrounds but the children are only allowed to play on them if she is having a tour. Otherwise the sand they bring back in is "to messy". 4. Also, The children do not do crafts because she doesn't want the glue, paint, or what-not making a mess. Instead the teachers construct the crafts and have the students right their names on them. In fact, If you do take a tour you may notice that the only child artwork on display is that of her own son from over 20 years ago. Otherwise, hanging up artwork might "ruin the paint on the walls. 5. At one point a room of children had been left unattended for over 20 minutes. Some of them where gnawing and swallowing pieces of foam blocks. Some of them were hitting one another. Some of them had wondered out of the room. When I told the supervisor Donna chastised me for reporting it, and told the supervisor not to worry, that I "just worry to much." 6. She would often strap children in a highchair when they were upset, even though she personally told me that it's illegal to do that. 7. I was told NOT to communicate a child's difficulties with their parents because Donna didn't want them to know that things were not OK. 8. She expelled a student who stole her keys on the grounds that "she had disciplinary problems that needed special care". At the same time she ignored a student with extremely violent behavior and was viciously attacking his co-students throughout the day, causing multiple injuries. However, children being attacked isn't as inconvenient for her as looking for her keys, so she didn't see a need to find him help or discuss this with his parents. There is so much more that I simply can't get into right now, but this is not a good place. Your child would typically get more humane treatment from a year old baby sitter.
