October 2022 - My husband picked my daughter up from here with a huge goose egg on her forehead…read morethat was pooled with blood. That was the first we heard of it, no contact was made to us when she got hurt. She was given an ice pack and snuggles, then put down for nap shortly after, which goes against the first rule when it comes to a head injury. We got 3 different stories as to how this happened, no incident report was filled out at the time of the incident, not until I called the owner while we were at Cardinal Glennon. The owner then filed one out so it was not signed by all required, and nothing on daily log sheet. We never took her back. I know bumps and bruises are going to happen, which is why we didn't say anything the week prior when no one had answers for the laceration on her face, but this was ridiculous. They also allowed her to go with someone they have never met before on 2 occasions. The first day she was there, and again one day during the 3rd week of October. She was here for less than 2 months, I regret it. After this incident, the owner sent a text message ensuring they were going to get more staffing and take first aid classes. With their track record on the Licensing website - MO Dept of Education - the violations for not having classes completed, I don't have much faith.

From the owner: Welcome to the Giggle Buggs Child Care and Learning Center family! Owners Orson and Sandra Guyton…read moreare grandparents of three special needs children. As such, they are all too familiar with the ostracism and discrimination that the families of these children experience from daycare establishments. From "liability issues" to "ill-equipped staff members & facilities," the Guyton's have heard it all. Finally, Mrs. Guyton, a devote Christian, felt her calling to aid the community by providing quality care for all children regardless of their health or care requirements. Established in January of 2012, Giggle Buggs has made a name for itself in the community as a childcare center that genuinely cares about its children and their families (foster families included). Sticking true to their word, the Guyton's have served children with special needs such as spinal bifida, juvenile diabetes, autism, down syndrome, epilepsy, etc. Although Giggle Buggs focuses primarily on academia, it is our mission to guide our children in a holistically beneficial way. Every child should be nurtured and every child should be individually and uniquely cared for. Which is also why we provide our parents with resources that can help their children progress further and we work directly with the childrens' therapists to ensure that their care plan is a consistent team effort. Thank you for your interest in our services.
