Summer camp: video has that they do field trips and a lot of extra things which is NOT true. They do the indoor bounce house, play ground and have water day which is sprinklers. They did not tell us the raise of 200 in cost for summer camp until after it was too late to sign up anywhere else. So DISAPPOINTED!!!

I can not express in this review how much I love and appreciate the quality education my daughter…read morehas received at Stepping Stones. My daughter loves going to school, and knows more at 2 than I did at 5 or 6. She knows her alphabet, can count to thirty, has begun to spell words, her vocabulary is off the charts, she comes home every day with interesting crafts, and singing Bible songs. While my wife and I try to create a learning environment in our home, I really think most of the credit should go to the school. It all starts with the principal Jan Banks. She makes a point of learning every child's name, and greeting them when they come through the doors every morning. Jan clearly loves her job, and creates a positive environment for the students, parents, and teachers. She often dresses up in crazy outfits on days when the school holds parties to celebrate holidays. The teachers and daycare teachers are nothing short of amazing. My wife and I adored my daughter's teachers, Sherry and Monica, and the daycare teachers Emily and Taylor. We trust them implicitly to keep our daughter safe while we are at work. They've done an amazing job of fostering her intellectual growth, and I suspect her next teachers will as well. There is a theme every year, and the school creates learning activities around that theme. This past year, the school brought in a school bus, fire engine, ambulance, a train of some sort, and several other vehicles to discuss transportation. Over the summer, they brought a dentist to school to discuss the importance of oral care, and my daughter came home with a toothbrush and toothpaste. The school uses all sorts of interactive experiences to help the kids learn. I've told my wife, my daughter's teachers, and Jan Banks that THE BEST DECISION I'VE MADE AS A PARENT THUS FAR HAS BEEN SENDING MY DAUGHTER TO THIS SCHOOL. I hope you will take my words to heart.

I worked in afterschool at SWDC for nearly 3 years while going to nursing school about 18 years ago…read moreand it was an excellent place to work. I always felt like I was respected (even though I was young), supported, and given the supplies needed to teach the kids. The parents were awesome and til this day, I have a relationship with the now adult kids and their parents because of the environment and bond built within Small World Daycare. My daughter has been a child at the daycare since she was 6 weeks old! If I had to do it over again, I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING! My daughter was ready from day 1 to start kindergarten. Ms. Heather teaches the kids Spanish, which still today she comes home trying to quiz me‍ and I love how the other teachers get involved in science (collecting bugs, frogs, growing beans), and helping the children with easy to do cooking activities! Speaking firsthand, it's been great for me and my child. No place is perfect, but if there is a problem, the front office staff is always willing to talk to ensure you have an understanding and get to a resolution.

She was wearing super bright clothing but somehow got missed. It was during the hottest time of the year so needless to say I was not very happy. When the issue was addressed, same day, it seemed like it was not even important. The issue was swept under the rug and excuses were made one of which was "well it was only or like 2 minutes". I don't care if it was 30 seconds because it only takes 5 seconds for her get seriously hurt or worse. Yes, their security seems to be amazing but the care for the children should not stop there.

They leave them in the cold without proper jackets to keep the kids warm. Everyone looks sick. The corporate office is heartless and doesn't care about issues you bring to their attention. This was the biggest mistake we made bringing our child here. Beware of this franchise! They are all around horrible. They even nickeled and dimed us when we asked for a refund because of the abuse we received. We paid for a month in advance and had to pull our baby out 2 weeks in since no one did anything about the horrible bites my baby got. I will never recommend them to anyone!
