What Parents Say
Tinker Bell Day Care Center receives highly polarized reviews. Six parents praise the structured curriculum, caring staff, clean facility, and family-like environment. However, four parents report serious concerns including staff verbally berating children, dismissing a child with autism after less than one day, and unprofessional communication with parents.
My kids have been going here for about 2 years. They both have learned more than I could have ever imagined, especially my 4 year old! The curriculum is challenging, but in the best way. The facility is always clean and organized. I have never had an issue with any of the staff or witnessed ANY of the staff ever “berating” children. The employees always take great care of the kids. They do tons of holiday parties and field trips as well as a wonderful graduation ceremony at the end of the school year. I highly recommend this place!
My daughter has been attending tinker bell for the past year and it has always given the feeling of a small and warm family environment that makes me feel secure and safe dropping her off each day. The staff and directors(Ms.Salena & Mr.Parker) have always been so attentive and always happy to greet you at the door. My daughter has learned so much in such a short amount of time. The curriculum is hands down the best around and I’m very pleased with the environment and atmosphere. 10 out of 10 recommend
My son attends this school and I am so surprised by how structured the curriculum is!!!! Every time he gets picked up from school he is always so happy and energetic! The teachers here are wonderful and do a great job focusing on the curriculum. The principal is caring and friendly. I've only met him a few times, but I can tell how much he truly cares about these students and the staff!!!! He makes sure that the children's environment is safe and I could not recommend this day care enough!
My son has been going to this daycare for 4 years. The staff are kind, caring and supportive to the children in their care and to the parents. Their curriculum is structured and my son has learned so many skills beyond the first grade skill set. Once my daughter is of age she will also attend their daycare and I can’t wait to see how she will blossom in their care.
FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!! So I came in about a month or so ago to do a tour of the program. During the tour everything went well of course because they were expecting me. My son wasn’t two yet so I did not register him at the time. I stopped in this morning to complete the registration forms and observed a “teacher” literally screaming at and posturing over a child who appeared absolutely terrified and had their head down on the table. There was also another “teacher” present in the room. For her to feel comfortable doing that in front of a colleague and other students that let me know that’s the norm here. I looked directly at her to let her know I just observed what she did. She gave a snide “mind your business” kind of look. I dropped that pen so fast and left. My son will not be in an environment where the adults berate the children in the manner that I witnessed this morning. Absolutely disgusting! As a mandated reporter I will be calling CPS.
