I had my child enrolled at this daycare. He attended for a couple of months. He would cry daily and…read moresince this was his first daycare, I thought it was normal. Director directed staff not to pick him up, nor comfort him. She would tell teachers that some kids were chiflados/spoiled. The final straw was when I showed up early to pick up my child and while all the other toddlers were running around, mine was restrained in a chair. I really thought this was going to be a good daycare but turns out, it was a nightmare. Parents, beware.

I worked here for a few days. I quit without a second thought. They overwork their staff, which is…read morewhy they're always getting and losing new staff members. They go over the ratio of allowed kids per classroom. They don't provide any actual activities for kids to do 80% of the time. The classroom calendar on their wall? Yeah that's a lie. Your kid will spend 80% of their time being yelled at, dealing with the unruly kids we weren't allowed to report, probably getting hurt due to how overcrowded and understaffed the rooms are, being fed awful food that barely fits health standards and playing with worn toys. We aren't allowed to write injury reports, even for head injuries, for some inane reason. Or rather, a day care worker will request one and we'll never get it. I dont even understand why this daycare is overcrowded. Even the kids know there is a larger Jamboree daycare down the road in San Benito they could be at. If you leave your kid here, they will be miserable.

My nephew has been enrolled at this centers since he was 8 months old, he is now 4 years old. The…read moreamazing and loving teachers he started with in the baby room treated him like he was family and their own baby. As he moved through the classes he leaned so much, not just his basics like abc or shapes but how to be a good friend and student. I feel super confident that he will thrive and do so good when he goes to "big school" after he graduates from Little Flowers.

My son was enrolled here when he was 3. He had only turned three a few months prior to enrolling,…read morehad never been to daycare before, and at the time was an only child at home. He was very behind with talking so I thought enrolling him in a daycare would help him. Patty and the other lady were constantly telling me how behind in speech he was, how he didn't like to share, and how he would not listen when they would put him in "time out." My son had never been taught at home what "time out" was so he would get frustrated that they were making him sit in a chair in a corner by himself. He simply did not understand. One day the owner Patty called me that there had been an "incident." My husband immediately went to pick up our son and when he arrived at the day care my son had a big welt on his forehead and was crying. Patty told my husband that our son would not stay in the time out chair so they put him in another room by himself (which happened to not have any cameras) and said he began to throw a tantrum and accidentally hit his head on the computer desk. That was the last day my son ever attended there. Patty claims no fault for anything and the worst part is she never even sounded sorry. She only ever was defensive about her actions. These women should not be owning a daycare. We moved our son to Smarty Pants daycare and within six months his vocabulary was flourishing and he continued to thrive there!

We were so impressed with how responsive our son has been when attending. The interaction and attention given to each child really makes a difference. They even help with potty training, what a blessing. Much thanks to this staff, we highly recommend this day care to anyone. We were lucky enough to find this day care when we were visiting south texas last year. If they are in your area, sign your child up or get on the waiting list, it's soooo worth it.
