We moved our 2 year old daughter here about 6 months ago and we are so glad we did. Not that the old place was bad, it's just that Hey Diddle Diddle is just so much better. So much more educational activities, and structure - from programs like Romp and Roll, to sing alongs, to outside free play in the very nice (and safe) playground. The teachers all seem very committed and very caring of all of the children. Highly recommended.

We love this school!!! The teachers are the best humans on the planet. My daughter is treated just like one of their own. So many fun activities planned for the kids, and we always get fun projects they worked on. Would recommend to everyone. Send your kid here you will not be sorry.

Miss Amy discriminated against my child who needed special accommodations (mciu services). She called him the “worst kid ever” and he still remembers it to this day. Such a traumatic experience all around. We informed the school before we enrolled that he doesn’t nap - they assured us that it was okay and they would find something he could do quietly. Fast forward two months and the anger/frustration they showed because he wouldn’t nap was insane. They told me they held a heavy sleeping bag on top of him and he wouldn’t stop screaming…. absolutely inexcusable. Amy singled him out every chance she could. He was hyper active and had a hard time sitting still. If he didn’t sit still, she wouldn’t give him a Hershey kiss that the rest of the class got. Time out would be in a chair right in front of the classroom where the other children were playing. I honestly cannot believe she’s still working with children. She was so incredibly unkind. When I said “it seems like he’s making friends and the students like him”… She told me she “made the other students hug him so he felt included”.
