The facilities overall could be a bit better maintained , but it's good enough. It's more family oriented, I'd say, than otherwise. There is an active senior element as well. The hours could be better. Opens late on Sunday. Don't walk around barefoot. Just don't.

Little cubs provides great supplemental childcare if you're in a pinch. Some of the caregivers are…read moreabsolutely amazing like Miss Jo. Miss Ashley and Miss Rebecca. They offer lunchables during the week, and a Saturday pizza night. With that said, they advertise that they lock all doors and have sensors on them. That is not the case-the front door does make a sound when you enter but the second door, leading into the daycare area is not locked, no sound, and there is not always someone there assess who has walked in. When I asked if this would be addressed after the preschool shooting a few years ago, I was told by the owner that "no, changes will be made, and we'll miss having your kid here." With that said. We use this service sparingly, just be aware that it's not secure

I was an employee here and the environment seems nice looking in from the outside. Children are not…read moresupervised like they should be. Teachers are constantly on their phones while watching children. There is lots of yelling at children and aggressive handling of children even by directors. Parents were not allowed to enter center for a time and it became a complete mess and parents were oblivious to it all. I do not think it is the worse center ever, but absolutely is not the best or close even close. I worked here and would have never enrolled my child. Do not recommend.

We felt that the name "Kollege" was an indication that this facility was more than just custodial,…read morebut was fostering a preschool like environment as well. We were wrong, but the fact that the name of the business is purposefully misspelled should have been our first clue. Numerous surprise visits by mom and dad showed that the children were asked to sit and do nothing for long periods of time. The children rarely went outside and were often yelled at in loud intimidating voices. Concerns we had about teachers and other issues were not addressed and we were made to feel like our children were not wanted there. If you prefer a custodial environment were children are simply placed in a room with others the same age and watched by the adults, then this is the place for you. If your child requires more of a stimulating environment with preschool like activities designed to improve language and fine motor skills and creativity, I would look elsewhere.

I'm also still waiting for my 3 year old's underwear and socks to reappear as they didn't pack it up and Tina is trying to say he didn't have any... not one pair of backup underwear in cubby. The safety was a concern at one point on second week of August as a man was standing next to the drive lane to pick up and drop off. This man jumped on my truck trying to get a ride. He successfully jumped in the next parent's car in line and put it in drive when she stepped out to ring the bell to get her child. He was standing there the whole time they were opening door and letting kids out. So my assumption was absolutely no awareness of safety of releasing kids or surroundings. To make things even shady "Ms D" at the door was mad and unprofessional when I went to come in to bring my 2 year old in for his first day of school.
