I am no longer a…read moremember for several reasons. 1) All the classes I joined to take were cancelled. 2) Several of the classes that looked interesting were always full. 3) $80/month for a fitness facility and swimming pool was not worth the price. 4) My personal trainer left and I couldn't connect with any of the others. 5) They started charging for stupid things. (Ex. A women's or men's fitness center "card" was $5-for the first card. I can see charging me if I lost one, but come on! At $80 a month the first one should be included. 6) Rudeness. The workers became downright rude at times. That $5 fee I mentioned above...I watched a worker pocket my $5. 7) Planet Fitness opened. For a fraction of the cost I get a lot of the same stuff, minus a pool. Maybe I'll try them again in the future when my daughter is older.

I work at a domestic violence shelter here in the Lancaster Ohio area. We deal with primarily women…read moreand children. Mothers who are trying to get back on their feet, solely alone. We had a young mother back in Sept-Oct-Nov of 2019. She had a toddler daughter that went to Small Wonders and mom worked at a nearby pizza place here in town. She would WALK her daughter to daycare, and then walk herself to work. It was known her daughter had a hard time taking a nap, making it complicated for the staff and other children. Probably the trauma of her prior home life, and being apart from her mother increased this child's behavior. The daycare had called several times stating the child had "a fever." And mom would have to walk back to the daycare, and then walk back to the shelter ending her work day. Mom was almost fired for having to leave work on whim due to these sudden bouts of a fever. The last few times the child was sent home, we at the shelter took the temperature of the child. And it was NOT high at all(normal temp). At first we didn't think anything about it. By the 4th or 5th time we became suspicious on what was happening. I was able to go pick up the child with the mother and questioned Small Wonders on what they used to take this child's temperature. I was informed they were in between thermometers and getting new ones soon. Which I found convenient for this situation. They were taking her armpit temperature. As we all know that is the least accurate measurement. Anyways.... after expressing my distrust in the situation, the manager (Dava Keglor) stated IF we went to the hospital and she was cleared of a fever, she could return. SO we did that. SO here I am taking time from my work schedule, mom is almost at the verge of being fired, to take this poor disheveled toddler to the ER for a temp check. Sure enough, we were IN and OUT. Temp read at 98.5. We were told she was read at 99.0 or 99.5 I cant remember now. But they said they tack on an extra .5 with the least accurate way to take a temperature. SO, the hospital gives us paperwork clearing her of a fever. We take it back to the daycare, and now they mysteriously will not let her back in. Stating that they do not go by the temp taken at a hospital. Pretty much insinuating their devices are not accurate(but their armpit thermometers are). BUT they are in between thermometers at Small Wonders currently hmmm. Anyone else find this odd? And sad. Once again, mom is just trying to work and earn money to obtain housing. As we stand there in shock that they will not take the child, someone who is above the manager comes out..who I hadn't even spoken to or seen prior states that they do not have to take the child, and that I was being disruptive and causing a scene. Really? There was no cursing, or loudness. IF those things had occurred.. I would imagine the police would have been called? OR they would have contacted my director(they knew where I worked). It's a Shame that because they were called out about what was going on, they felt the need to lie, and shift the attention to my "behavior." When all I was doing was sticking up for my meek client(who by the way has a learning disability). And taking the action THEY instructed us to do. In my opinion they didn't want to deal with the co-dependent child, and were trying anyway to get her out of their daycare.. because she was being disruptive. That does not make it OK to make up bogus temperature claims multiple times in a month. Causing the mother to miss out on work because she has no one else to watch her child. You are paid to do a service, you do that service. My staff and I will never use Small Wonders. And I/we will suggest to everyone NOT to as well. Once the claim of me being disruptive was said, I fully realized what was going on. Sad really. Also, forgot to mention..when I first originally went in with the client to discuss the "fever" with Small Wonders staff, Mom had been denied prior to see the temperature for herself. Ironically enough, after ALL this the child was never sent home for a "fever." You have a childcare service so people can function through their life during the day for employment. Remember this the next time a child is a pain in the butt for you, and you just don't want them there. It could cost them their home.

I am incredibly disappointed that I'm writing this review…read more My husband and I moved to Lancaster in late 2023, and in 2025 we welcomed our beautiful daughter. When we started looking for daycare in the spring of 2026, I researched several facilities and decided to reach out to Itsy Bitsy. My first phone call was with Cassie, and I immediately had a good feeling about her. When I hung up, I told my husband, "I have good vibes about her!" Funny enough, Cassie told me she had the same feeling about me. When we toured the facility, we were greeted with smiling faces and genuinely felt welcomed. The daycare was clean, and it actually smelled clean too. We were sold. We enrolled our daughter. Her first day went wonderfully. We received pictures and updates throughout the day, and we were so impressed that we stopped to grab a thank-you card and a little plant for the staff. They were incredibly sweet when I picked Amelia up that afternoon. I remember telling my husband, "I think we found our people." Unfortunately, that feeling did not last. Over time, I began feeling increasingly uncomfortable and unwelcome. I genuinely have no idea what my niece and I did to cause this change in how we were treated. The only thing I can think of is that I once called to mention that a teacher didn't seem particularly friendly during drop-off. They addressed my concern right away and explained the teacher's perspective. I thanked them for taking the time to reach out, and I could absolutely understand her side as well. I didn't think it was unreasonable to advocate for my daughter. That's my job as her mom. After that, though, the atmosphere seemed to change. My niece and I began getting what felt like dirty looks from staff. Unfortunately, the person I felt the most uncomfortable around was our daughter's own teacher, Katie. There were very few greetings, smiles, or interactions that made me feel like she genuinely liked or cared about our daughter. One afternoon, Katie brought our kiddo up to me and said, "She woke up from her nap with a crusty eye. Just letting you know." I understand that staff have information to communicate to parents. But there was no hello, no warmth, nothing beyond the statement. Maybe to someone else that interaction would seem insignificant, but after everything that had already happened, it really stood out to me. There were also several interactions that left me feeling like staff were talking about me or judging me. On one occasion, I saw Cassie peek around a corner to look at me. Another blonde staff member made eye contact with me, looked me up and down, and made a face that I perceived as disgusted. What made that interaction especially disappointing was that it happened the same morning we had brought muffins for the staff. The woman at the front desk was kind enough to thank us, but otherwise there was no acknowledgment. I found all of this especially difficult because my understanding was that this is a faith-based facility. I expected to feel welcomed, supported, and part of a community. Instead, I eventually felt like an outsider. There was also an incident involving our kiddo biting herself. We were told about it, thanked them for letting us know, and addressed it with her at home. We never heard anything else about her biting herself or anyone else. Then, about a month later, I went in for pick up and the owner said, "We're biting our friends again!" Again? We had never been told there had been a first incident involving her biting another child. As a parent, that's important information that I would expect to be communicated to me when it happens, not casually mentioned later as though I should already know about it. That was the last straw for us, and we ultimately decided to pull our daughter from their care. I want to be fair and say that there were absolutely staff members who were kind and wonderful to us. Unfortunately, the negative experiences outweighed those interactions for our family. I went into Itsy Bitsy genuinely excited to build a community. I thought we had found "our people." Leaving has been incredibly disappointing, especially because our first impression was so positive. If you're considering this daycare, I would encourage you to pay close attention not only to how you're treated during your tour, but to how you and your child are treated once you're actually enrolled.
