I have a 2.5 yr old and an almost 4 month old. We have been going to Punkin Doodles since our oldest was 18 months. We have had a great experience! We are relocating and sadly have to pull our kids out. We will miss our babies’ teachers so much! PD has kept a very open line of communication and always called if there was ever a concern. I knew when my babies were there, they were being well taken care of and loved on. I would definitely recommend PD to a friend.

I’ve already written a review on the Facebook page. And I’m actually surprised that this school is even still in business. Melanie is a terrible business owner, and all she cares about it money. Super unprofessional. My daughter attended a few years back, but if my review keeps a parent from wasting their time, then it’s served it’s purpose. She stood outside by the front door and yelled and got in my face with my child in my arms and told me my daughter couldn’t go back. Super unprofessional way to run a business. She’s literally crazy. Safe your money.

Charged me for daycare services I didn't receive because we were moving. Took $300+ one week before Christmas...when my son hadn't been there in 3 weeks & I explained the situation to them. Also they watched 3 movies a day when my son was going there. So how exactly are they providing excellent care by sitting them in front of the tv most of the time they're there?

My daughter absolutely loves Punkin Doodles. She has been there since the nursery and is now 3 1/2 years old! This place is more than a daycare to my daughter it is her 2nd home! I highly recommend Lindale Punkin Doodles to anyone considering a daycare or preschool for their little one. My finger print checks my daughter in and out. I get pictures daily of what my daughter is doing at school and a daily report of what they did that day. My daughter can count higher than 20, knows her ABCs, knows her days of the week, still working on the months of the year, knows all the colors of the rainbow, can say the pledge of Allegiance and blesses her food every time she eats! We love Love Punkin Doodles!!

My son has been attending here for 3 years now. My wife and I find the staff to be very friendly and if we have ever had a concern or question they promptly responded or remedied the situation. We love it here and recommend this place highly.
