    My son went here for about 2 years and I just don't have enough good things to say about how in…read morefantastic this place is! He started when he was 10 months old and the teachers were incredible with easing him into a new setting to decrease the stranger danger phase. All the staff members are so accommodating and keep me updated during the day so it feels like I'm not missing out on a thing! (Extra bonus points for tolerating a very hands on first time momma!!! They never made me feel any kind of way for asking too many questions or making specific requests about food/changes in my sons routine!) My sons social and physical skills have developed so much since he's started and his little personality has been shaped by the lovely teachers as well! Highly recommend for anyone considering!!

    I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but this occasion requires it, with the goal of helping…read moreother parents and the institution. At no point is my intention to discredit Little Leaves, but I can't stay silent about what happened, since after this very unpleasant situation, I unfortunately cannot recommend them. From the moment we visited the institution, they never mentioned any minimum requirements for children to attend, such as needing to be able to feed themselves, among other things. On the contrary, they told us they would take care of giving him structure, helping him with potty training, and his education. To me, it was "music to my ears," but in reality I feel it was more of a sales tactic than reality, since there are other negative reviews mentioning the same thing. My son only lasted three days at Little Leaves and, by the institution's decision, was expelled due to his behavior, without them taking any responsibility for their lack of professionalism, their lack of structure for welcoming new children, and their inability to handle children who were struggling to adjust to a new environment in less than a week. They simply stopped providing service without even allowing a reasonable amount of time before making such a drastic decision -- only 3 days. My son is a child who has received a high level of care and love at home, and from the moment he entered this daycare he didn't feel accepted. The teachers expected him to follow the same routine as the other children, who had already been there for a while. He had just turned two years old a month earlier, and this whole process was completely new to him. Expecting him to adapt within three days is something not even an adult manages in weeks. They made no effort whatsoever to help integrate him -- they simply isolated him from the group. What kind of care is this? Are they actually qualified to care for children? My biggest complaint is that Little Leaves is not prepared to properly welcome children. A new child needs support from the teacher, a proper welcome into a new environment, and an appropriate integration into a group he doesn't know -- exactly as they described it to us when they were offering us on the service, which turned out to be completely false. My son, who is a very sweet child, exhibited behavior he doesn't show at home: he was erratic, pulled hair, and bit -- things he doesn't normally do -- and suddenly, in this new environment, he did them repeatedly. This makes me think he wasn't being treated properly; no person changes so radically from one environment to another without a reason. Contrary to what I expected, all I received were complaints. They had me fill out a report that they didn't explain properly, and at no point did they guide me through the process. One of the teachers had the recklessness to say they needed to "keep the rest of the children in the room safe" -- an extremely strong and alarming comment, considering they are dealing with children, not criminals. It's one of the most irresponsible statements I've ever heard from an education professional. To the owner, I recommend reviewing your processes for welcoming new children, being transparent about expectations and the center's limitations, and better training your staff on how to communicate with parents. I feel deeply disappointed by the treatment we received and by the unpleasant experience I went through. Who can determine a child's behavior in just three days? How would you feel if one of your own children were treated this way?

    This is an ok daycare. Not good, not great, but ok to keep your kids alive…read more Starting with the positive: - Rooms are spacious - Outdoor play is big and covered - There is a double door to enter, which requires an individual code. The "needs improvement" list is unfortunately longer: - Most teachers don't give a s***. The don't say hi, they are on their phones, they have this " I don't want to be here" look. I could give a million examples: told them to not put my 8 month old on machines not meant for kids that roll and can stand...found her there many times, asked them to please put her "shirt bib" when eating... all her clothes came top to bottom filled with food every day, found a teacher threatening my son and when I discussed with the director she said it was because she just came from a center for kids with special needs (what???) - Food is terrible, not a minimum attempt to be healthy. After many complaints they stopped giving the kids oreos and chips ahoy... that's the level. - There is no curriculum for the kids. I brought up to the director that at 3+ years my son hadn't learnt anything I wasn't teaching him home. I got dismissed. Two months in a different daycare and he knows all letters and writes full words. - Leadership is childish and has childish responses to issues. Sure this daycare is cheaper but I regret bringing my kids here.

    I read a lot of positive reviews online and have a friend whose niece has gone here for years, so…read moremaybe I had too high expectations. The tour was lovely. Staff seemed nice, positive, and upbeat. The price was right and they had a flexible schedule. It seemed like an organized place with daily routines, activities, and meal plans, and a daily log that would tell us what our LO did all day. However, in practice, we were sorely disappointed. We were signed up for 2 days/week and our LO had extreme separation anxiety, but that's to be expected. It seemed at first glance like they were handling him well, coddling him, giving us updates (no streaming video). But by the end of each day he would still be screaming would run to us crying, and just exhausted and in a bad mood each night after daycare. We'd hear things from teachers like complaints that they "had" to pick him up all day because he kept crying, and next door in the older room he won't get that; or how he got upset every time a teacher took his comfort stuffy away (that he brought in to hug while adjusting), because in the real world, like high school, he can't walk around with a stuffed animal... If it was just the comments and a rough adjustment though, we might have persevered. But it was also what felt to us like a complete lack of communication between morning teachers and afternoon teachers, even though there was a written daily log. For example, the log would say "no nap," but we'd be told oh no, he napped. We'd ask questions about his day in the afternoon and they couldn't be answered. We sent diapers in, size 3 at the time, and one of the first days he came home in someone else's loose fitting size 6 - I could understand a diaper mixup in a busy daycare, but this was 3 sizes too big and so obviously so! Or the time we were told we need to bring in a sheet for his crib, and asked if the sheet we brought needed to be laundered, and the teacher didn't realize he had a cubby (as all the kids do) and hadn't looked in his bag. Or the time they ran out of milk. Or the time my husband caught them letting the little ones (18+ months) watch Ms. Rachel on a tablet in a side room to calm them down... I'm not against Ms. Rachel, but I can do that at home... they weren't using it as a teaching tool or interactive, but just to distract the kids. Also, we were promised well rounded nutritious meals with fruit, etc., and I don't know if something more was given after we dropped him, but each time I dropped him it seemed like the breakfast was just one carb - an english muffin, some cheerios, etc., and nothing else. After 4 days over two weeks (2 days/week) of issues like this each day, we spoke to two Directors and were very pleased with their response - they were apologetic, said much of what we saw was unacceptable, and they would work to make it better. They did try - I believe they really did. The next week we came in and they had an extra teacher in the class to make sure our LO had special attention while adjusting. It should have been great. Should have been perfect really, after we had so many issues. So, Day 5, new week, Monday. As I drop LO off, he loses a shoe. I point it out to the teachers and I have to run. 9+ hours later I return for pickup, and LO is still wearing one shoe. I ask the afternoon teachers did he have one shoe on all day (as a toddler who just learned to walk and is already wobbly...), and they couldn't tell me for sure. Since they arrived, yes, he had one shoe and they thought it was strange... but no one thought to call his parents or check his cubby/bag or talk to the morning teachers. They didn't know that there was another shoe or where it could be. They called the morning teachers who said the shoe was in a bag in the cubby... no explanation as to why one shoe was put away and one shoe was left on and why this information wasn't passed onto the afternoon teachers. One of the Directors said she was in the room and definitely saw LO with both shoes on, but the afternoon teachers said differently... the mixup could not be explained. That evening, as we prepared his bag for the next day, I broke down crying because I was so nervous to send my LO back again. I felt he wasn't being looked after attentively and with care. We decided not to send him back. Again, the Directors were very understanding as to our abrupt departure, and perhaps this was just a fluke. People in the area love this place. I guess see for yourself? (PS - A few weeks later, we enrolled him elsewhere and while he still has separation anxiety and cries when we drop him, he always comes home smiling and happy, waving at the director and reaching for her, and his vocabulary has exploded too! He comes home like himself, not like a tired tantrum baby that we didn't recognize...).
