Little Folks Cottage receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents, with most praising the warm, caring staff, clean facility, and strong long-term reputation (some families have attended for 25+ years). However, one former employee raised serious concerns about workplace culture, management issues, and safety protocols.
My kids love this daycare center. Everyone from the staff to the director very warm and friendly. This center is clean, kid friendly, and filled with Happy kids!!!
The staff is very helpful & understanding. I haven’t had any bad experience. & I was also referred by my cousin, they have took good care of all 4 of her children for 10+ years.
I never write reviews but my experience with Little Folks Cottage was so outstanding, it needed a spotlight. Mrs Jackson and her team are very thoughtful and kind. You really can see that the kids are always top priority here! I will be recommending them to anyone who needs their services. Amazing job guys!
This is a great place to bring your children ! My daughter loves going inside of the building ! I've had a minor situation in the beginning but it was all squared away! The teachers are very open and willing to talk with you about anything taking place! however they don't have a daily activity sheet! but I know that my daughter is learning because she comes home with stories to tell everyday!
Little Folks Cottage is a toxic place to work and certain elderly staff members undermine Teachers in front of students and treat the Teachers inadequately. The Directors don't do anything about the person's behavior when you address it because the person have been helping them with the center financially, etc. The Director would suggest that you'd leave if you didn't like working there instead of addressing the nitpicking issue with the person. The Directors just backbite and act judgmental toward Teachers. Not to mention, having an extremely nervous energy. Special needs children with behavior difficulties have been kicked out which is against the law now! In addition, the Director got into a shouting match with the father in front of the children and the police was about to be called. The other Director also didn't want the Teachers to help other Teachers with the state mandated questions. She'd tell you to direct them to her because you may give the wrong information away but she'd never be around to help with the trainings. Always coming in excessively late. When there was a shooting last year, no Directors were onsite all day. Teachers had to throw students on the ground in the classroom and try to comfort them with no proper plans or protocols in place for gunfire in the community. Knowing that the daycare is in a high crime area, there should be proper plans in place. I think you should put your child in a much better daycare. And yes, they do man-handle children there.
