My two boys attended this daycare for almost three years before we moved out of state, and it was truly the best experience. The teachers and staff communicated extremely well and always made us feel informed and supported. I saw so much growth in my kids socially, emotionally, and academically during their time here. We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and love they received. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment.

This school is privately owned and operated. The owner contacted me directly after I left a 1 star review. I am not sure if all parents received a text directly from the owner asking to remove or revise their experiences regarding this school. This is my revised review per his request:
The front desk receptionist, manager and supervisors have not demonstrated a high value regarding honesty or morals. When I was at the school, the employees spoke openly about their own personal issues regarding marriage and divorce in front of the children. My child returned home with his front tooth MISSING. Nobody offered any explanation until I inquired. Even then, none of the staff seemed to have any information on when and where that happened. 
The staff has shown favoritism with communicating more with one parent over the other which has caused confusion and contention between parents. I hope this helps other parents make an educated decision about this school and if it is a good fit for your child. If you attend this school you will also note that a lot of the 5 star reviews come from staff. STAY AWAY from this school if you can!

Our kids have been attending for the last 2.5 years, with my youngest starting the day he turned 1. The prices and hours were what got us to their doors, but we love each and every staff member. They have fun events for the kiddos and are a very welcoming community. We adore small wonders!

Don't be fooled. This place is nothing more than glorified babysitting. Horrible experience with teachers(if you really want to call them that) with extremely poor attitude. Go elsewhere.
