Doodle Bugs Daycare

I went a few days ago to look for information for my daughter, and the person who helped us couldn't answer any of our questions. She told us she couldn't help us because the boss was away on vacation and would be back in a week!!! We wanted to make an appointment for a tour and see the facilities and all she kept telling us was that she had no information for each of our questions!!! Imagine if that was the first impression, I can't imagine how they take care of the children! (This girl was super lost) so we decided to leave and look for other options in the area!!

10 out of 5!!! I was so hesitant to enroll my child in any care. Once I took the plunge, I quickly felt at ease knowing how great she was being taken care of and how much she was loved. The staff and owners are INCREDIBLE. The teachers work with the kids and problem-solve while still ensuring parents are communicated with (I've noticed with other schools, this is not done as it is at Doodlebug). The communication between staff and admin is amazing. Whether it's what your kiddo ate for the day or a cute picture. Or if its an important admin matter and you are speaking directly with the owners. I couldn't say enough. I was paying out of pocket, and it was by far the most affordable, while including meals and snacks. The school is always SECURE and always clean. My friends kids pick up and drop off is chaos. At Doodlebug, its a breeze. The teachers check in and out at the door which makes it not only more secure but also easier on the parent that their child and their items are collected and ready to go. We are only leaving due to moving to a different city. I'm hesitant and might be back, if we're being honest. If you're looking for a sign... this is it. 🥰 Thank you teachers, staff and owners for taking care of my kiddo.

If you are looking for a daycare to take good care of elf your children, look somewhere else. My kids have been to three daycares in the lifetime (only due to us moving), and I have never had any issues with a daycare before this one. My kids never had any issues either. I had a bad feeling when I took a tour of the facility and the girl giving the tour couldn’t even answer basic questions like what curriculum they use for preschool. But I thought I would give it a shot. My kids went to this daycare for a few months. My son would come home and would tell me about these kids being mean to him. He gave me the name of the kid so I brought it up with the teachers and was told that they just “rough house”. Another day, my son comes home and tells me he never wants to go to that school again. Anytime my son came home upset or had an incident that happened to him, it was always the same kid. I honestly wonder if it’s an employee’s child because they started writing in my kids incident reports that he was “accidentally hit” or “accidentally pushed”. Then they started telling me my son was have “behavior” issues. These behavior issues were typical toddler behavior for anyone who works with children. I took him to a children’s therapist to double check and the therapist confirmed he had no behavior issues. I was then called while I am at work and informed my son is on a two week probationary period and if he does anything as small as not listening, he will be kicked out of the daycare. A few days go by and my husband receives a call as he is literally a minute away from the daycare that my son cannot attend the daycare anymore. These “teachers” know nothing about typical toddler behavior and how to handle NORMAL behaviors. Not to mention, they constantly notified me of every “wrong” thing my child did, including him knocking another kids snack cup over, but yet my daughter who goes to the same daycare gets a gash from her wrist to her elbow and I am told no one noticed anything and “she didn’t even cry” which is hullshit given that my daughter cries if she falls and doesn’t get scrapped. My son was bullied every day and nothing was done. And then they turned it on my son acting as if he is the problem. Well he’s not doodle bugs, every employee of yours is. Not to mention I still have not gotten my refund from them. AVOID THIS DAYCARE AT ALL COSTS. It is not worth the mental and physical wellbeing of your child to take them here.

Our daughter has been attending Doodle Bugs for over a year now and she has absolutley loved it! She had a REALLY hard time at the previous daycare provider and would cry like crazy at drop off and pick up so we had to make a switch. Immediately the staff at Doodlebugs took her in and made her feel so comfortable and she gets excited to go her 3 days a week. Its kept so clean and the kids are always having a blast doing some kind of activity when you walk in.

Doodle Bugs Daycare is the BEST! The staff is amazing with my daughter. They treat her like she was one of their own children. My daughter loves going to "school". She gets so excited every morning knowing she's going to see her other family. The facility is clean, the kids are happy. The staff takes the kids on field trips, they do arts and crafts and they also teach the children to get them ready for school.
