What Parents Say
Little Tykes Learning Center receives highly polarized reviews. Many parents praise specific staff members (Hope, Trina, Erma) for attentiveness, professionalism, and caring, with positive experiences in infant, toddler, and preschool classes. However, several parents report serious concerns about infant care quality, staff unprofessionalism, inadequate kindergarten preparation, and poor communication.
My kids had been going to the daycare for a little over a year before We moved. Some teachers are definitely more attentive than others, but to give credit where credit is due, Hope has Been nothing but phenomenal. I have three children And I put one of my infants in Child Care Way younger than I usually do. Needless to say I was nervous. The Care love and attentiveness she gives to all those children are beyond a blessing. She puts her whole heart into her craft and her work. And I do not say this lightly. She is more than communicative with the parents and works to maintain any goals set between the two. 10 out of 10 stars really attending this daycare with my children, I’ve seen people come in with every day baggage and reflecting it on children. This woman being one of a few having a heart of stone I had never seen her change her care towards those children. A few others that deserve some recommendation Jasmine, Kesha and Michelle. Not to say, I haven’t haven’t had one to many difficulties with this Daycare. When it comes to attentiveness towards children. And safety of children. But teachers like these Definitely anchor my heart in knowing They will do everything in my power to make sure my kids are taken care of.
My son really enjoyed going here, he learned a lot of great things, specially in Ms, Trina class, she’s an amazing teacher. Miss Erma runs this place amazingly, making sure things are always the way they’re suppose to be with both staff and children. 10/10 recommend.
Little tykes is a wonderful childcare center! My 3 year old is in the preschool class and I'm very pleased with the whole experience for the last year. The instructors are attentive and kind. The kids do art, music, games, reading and other learning activities everyday. They encourage the kids care for each other and eat healthy foods and it's obvious Mrs. Erma (the director) and the other staff just love those kids. I'm very particular about who I allow to care for and influence my daughter and I feel very comfortable bringing her here for preschool several days a week. I would highly recommend it!
My kids have been in this daycare for about 5 years. My only complaint is they do not get PreK kids ready for kindergarten as they claim they would! The director Ms. Erma likes to consider it a "School" and tells the kids don't call it "daycare." They don't teach the kids anything and it's based on just playing and interacting with other kids. If you're looking for them to educate your kids, this place is definitely not worth taking them too.
Little Tykes has been such a great daycare for us, the caretakers in the infant room are amazing and also the toddler room, I have always felt great knowing that my kiddos would be well cared for while at Little tykes. Every staff member there has always been incredibly friendly and professional I can’t recommend this program enough.
