Small Wonders has become like a second home to me and my family. For almost three years, we have been a part of this wonderful community and I couldn't be happier. My children have developed strong bonds with their peers and have grown in so many ways. The teachers have been exceptional in their communication with me, always keeping me informed about my children's progress and well-being. I feel grateful to be a part of such a caring and supportive environment. Thank you so much for all you do!

I highly recommend this day care. Having moved from out of state and going back to work, finding a place where I can feel confident my child was taken care of was important. I found them on google and decided to check them out. I was sold on my first impression. Everyone there is friendly. Ms. Alcira, her parents, and her staff took great care of my daughter and my daughter enjoyed being there. She was always busy with arts and crafts, learning, and summer outings. It was bittersweet for us to have to end their services due to my child starting school in another county. I will always be grateful for their care!

Small Wonder has been a second family to my family. When I moved to Montgomery County over 8 years ago, I was in search of a place that felt safe for my then 4 1/2 year old. After searching high and low, my husband and I met with Mr. Grooms and he welcome my family to his establishment with open arms. My daughter is now approaching 13. I have had 2 additional children attend this loving daycare and one that still attends to this day. My children love Mr. & Mrs. Grooms like their grandparents as well as the rest of the staff. To this day my children attend Small Wonder for summer camp. We travel approximately an hour, one way, just for our children to attend Small Wonder. They have taken such great care of our children from the eldest to the youngest. We are a proud black family, and it is to our dismay to read some of the posts which suggest that Mr. Grooms is abusive and doesn’t like little black children. It is the exact opposite he and his entire family & staff have nothing but love for all of the children that attend small wonder. Every time I come to small wonder Ms. Alcira is helping a student with homework or one of the staff members at small wonder is attending to a child’s needs. I have never seen or heard from my children of any sort of abuse of any kind in almost ten years that my children have attended Small Wonder. Mr. Grooms and his family and staff go out of the way to ensure that all of the children are safe, fed, clean educated and overall happy. I will not take my children any other place but Small Wonders and the distance I travel on a daily basis proves how much I trust my children with Small Wonder and the whole entire staff and family. Thank you to the Small Wonder family for taking such good care of my children!!!!

Affordable, Dependable and Reliable.My 9-year-old twins love this daycare.. The staff and owner are very friendly. I have a piece of mind when I leave them in the mornings to go to work. Knowing that their in a caring and safe environment means so much. This family owned child care center has invested quality time to get to know my children and understand their needs. The owner and his daughter has been a positive male role model in my son's life and help him to understand right from wrong. Although he struggles with behavior and learning; they've remained vigilant and patient. I appreciate their business...

My son has been with Small Wonders since he was 2. I couldn't have asked for anymore from a daycare. They were so attentive to his needs, and very respectful and caring. One thing I hate about some daycares is that they run like an institution and rub rules and procedures in your face all the time (my older daughter's day care was like that, I hated it!). Small Wonders never made me feel that I was dealing with a system. Their human approach makes me feel like they actually care about my son. And I don't feel anxious leaving him. He is now 4 and a half and will leave for kindergarten this year. I couldn't be more sad that this is his last year here. They have been a family to me for the last 2+ years!!
