Wow! I am so happy I found this school. I have seen a difference in both of my boys (age 2 and 4)…read moresince they started going here, as they are learning things I did not think they would know until kindergarten! When I first called to inquire about this Daycare and Preschool I was not aware it is a Montessori school, and I have really liked the teaching methods I have witnessed. It really seems to fit the way my boys think. The teachers are great, and the director has been teaching for years and years (I think she taught elementary school too). In any case, if you are looking for a daycare or preschool for your children, this is one to look into! Oh, and once I heard it was a Montessori I thought it would be priced out of my reach (as Montessoris in the Bay Area are), but the prices are competetive with the other schools in the area (and cheaper than the biggest place in town)! I hope this helps other parents find a great place for their kids! The address listed on Yelp! is wrong. The address is actually 2109 Roop.

I didn't really like the way I was treated by Kassie. She made me feel like my child was just a…read morepaycheck for her, and while her attitude was "professional" enough, she just didn't strike me as genuinely warm or appreciative of my business or my child as an individual. The employees were constantly on their phones, texting or surfing the web, instead of interacting with the children, almost every time I walked in. They'd immediately put their phones down and act like they'd been caught doing something they shouldn't be doing -- and no wonder, because they're supposed to be taking care of children, not Facebooking all day!! On occasion, I would arrive to pick up or drop off my child during hours when the kids were outdoors in the play area. I walked towards the daycare from the parking lot, where the employees couldn't see me coming (they have privacy slats in the fence around the outdoor play area, so unless they were watching closely, they didn't see who was approaching) -- and I would overhear one or more of the female staff members (don't know which ones) YELLING at the toddlers. Now, I realize that kids can be rambunctious and naughty from time to time, but is yelling at them really the appropriate response? Especially if you're an employee of a daycare. Your job is to supervise, interact with and care for those children in a gentle, loving, respectful manner. I did NOT like what I overheard on these occasions. It made me feel uncomfortable, and wonder if my own child was ever scolded in that same manner. After the third time I overheard this sort of "discipline," I decided to find other childcare as soon as I could, and I took my child out of Carson Lanes Daycare. Chase was one of the more decent staff members. I never saw him playing on his phone and ignoring the kids, and my child seemed to really like him.

I'm in the same boat as Laura , feeling like I would have to "settle" for a center that I didn't…read morereally like because I didn't feel I had many choices when it came to quality child care. I brought my son with me to work as long as could, as I was waiting for Carson Lanes Day Care Center to open. Now that it open I am so glad that I waited. The room is ALWAYS clean even at the end of the day. Kassie (the director) is very accommodating even with my crazy schedule. My son has his own shelf in their kitchen so I can bring in a stock of all his foods, formula, wipes, and diapers. Not having to remember to bring some in everyday is helpful. One day I forgot to bring in a bottle for them to use, Kassie being ever helpful drove to store and bought one so I could go to work, and she didn't just buy any bottle, she bought the exact brand we use down to it being made in glass (not plastic). She's amazing.... Anyways you should note the picture of the outside play yard does not do it justice it is far nicer than it looks. Additionally, while the surface looks like asphalt, it is not, it is made of a synthetic material that is "spongy" reducing the risk for major injury if a child were to fall while playing outside. So me and my boy are happy campers!

My son couldn't wait to go to school everyday and always had a great time while he was there. He came home with art projects, papers showing what he had learned that week, and they even brought in some people to teach the kids how to brush their teeth. Linda has a strong personality and a very strict standard of care. She does not baby the kids nor does she sugarcoat a child's behavior. She employs strict cleaning schedules for the staff, and hand washing with the kids. They love the children they care for and that is exemplified in how happy my son is when he is there, how excited he gets when it's time to go to school and simply in how I see her interact with the kids. She has rules, much like any family, and she expects children to learn from and abide by them. I don't want to bring my son to a place where he is baby'd and doesn't learn basic rules of society. She is a fantastic provider and I wouldn't take my children anywhere else. If they can't be home with me, nothing makes me happier than to have them with her.

I had a grandson there from 1 year old to 2 years plus. He used to get bit in his 1 year old room…read more Nothing was done. Then when he reached the two years old room he began scratching hitting, pulling hair, and biting other children, not always provoked and the teachers there had no solutions for his parents. Until another parent complained and management told my grandsons parents that they will have someone come in and observe his behavior to see if they could figure it out. Btw this Person who was supposed to observe my grandson, canceled twice during the last 2 weeks of his stay there. Finally the management kicked my grandson out of the daycare. So if you like getting your child ignored then send them to this faculty. I would never recommend this daycare. Ever. I would not give them any stars for a rating. It's ALLabout the money.

I would strongly look elsewhere for child care. I started bringing my 5 month old daughter (at the…read moretime) to Little Discoveries in 2025. At first, the environment seemed welcoming although I initially had a few concerns about the front door being unlocked. As soon as you open the front door, you are entering the infant room and there is zero safety precautions in place preventing any random person from entering. My husband and I also noticed that an employee often had her 3 or 4 year old son in the infant room often along with her husband. I was informed that the young boy was in the infant room only to breastfeed, however I never once observed that. The child was running and jumping around the small babies on the ground. Additionally, I was concerned about her husband being in the infant room as he was not a vetted employee. We continued to observe this but did not say anything until one day we picked up our daughter and realized she had only been fed one 6 ounce bottle in an eight hour day. The employee informed my husband our daughter was hungry and then she continued hanging out with her husband and son in the infant room. I immediately contacted Meaghan and informed her that I had an issue with the employee having family time while my daughter was not being fed. Meaghan denied knowing that the employee's husband was ever in the building and stated the young boy was only in the room to feed. Meaghan assured me that my daughter would be fed correctly and that she would inform the employee that her husband could no longer be in the room. Shortly after, it was very apparent that this employee was choosing not to take care of my child. She would consistently have diaper rashes that were so severe and red. The final straw for me was two days in a row, I entered the facility and observed the employees sitting on the couch on their cell phones scrolling. My child was sitting on the ground and I could smell poop as soon as I walked into the building. She was covered in poop, and it was old to the point where I had to scrape it off of her skin. She had such a severe diaper rash on the top of her butt and lower back that it actually is still scarred to this day. The rash was bleeding and shiny it looked like a burn. And to top it off, she had poop all over her clothing. I immediately removed my child from this day care and filed a report with the state. Meaghan lied to the social workers stating she was never aware an employee's husband was there, among other things. I would have respected Meaghan's honesty and admitting there were issues she ignored but that the employee was ultimately terminated. Instead, the employee was terminated and Meaghan denied any wrong doing. They do not do much with the children. The infants sit on the ground all day by themselves with little to no interaction besides the television. The employees are usually sitting on their phones on the couch. While it is my word versus the day care's, there are SEVERAL people that I know that have since had serious issues with the care of their child at this facility. I would highly HIGHLY recommend taking your child elsewhere.
