I had two children attending here for 2 years and are moving on to elementary school next year. I cant say enough great things about this place. They really do care so much about what they do and it reflects on how they treat the children. I would recommend Tiny Geniuses to anyone! You will love it here and feel so safe with your kids being here.

As a parent and mama bear when I have had concerns I have always felt I could have an open and honest discussion with the teachers and directors and have always felt taken seriously. Any concern was dealt with professionally and quickly. My son went there from 2 months to 5 years old and now hes in kindergarten and doing so well! Also their seriousness during the pandemic was phenomenal and other facilities should take notes! We will miss you guys!

I am a lead teacher in this facility, but also paid for my niece to attend two years in a row. She is a bright and happy child who enjoyed the care and learning she experienced in the two years she attended. By the first conference period in kindergarten we learned she was in the 3% of the 10% of her class who attended preschool, who recognized all 26 letters and their sounds. Because of the writing journals that Miss Kristen had them do she still likes to draw and journal every day and her art was featured in the Warren Consolidated School District kindergarten enrollment book. Thanks to the learning and socialization experiences, provided by TGPD, she is doing exceedingly well in school across the board.

My wife & i have had so many issues with this place over the last two years of our child attending. Admittedly, we should have taken our son out sooner. The problems started in the three year old classroom. The director promised us that one teacher would be dismissed and another would be taking her place. The teacher was not warm to the students and was frequently heard yelling at the kids. She rarely even said hello in the mornings and seemed in a perpetually bad mood. Not the type of person you want for your 3 year olds preschool teacher. Our son would frequently tell us that his teacher yelled a lot and that his teacher didn’t like him. We referred close friends of our to the school and they pulled their girls out after a week because of this teacher. The director promised that this teacher would be dismissed and that another teacher would be taking the lead role. Which is why we didn’t pull him at the time.. we kept believing she would be gone any day. Neither of which ever happened. The director’s communication with us was untruthful and we were lied to and led on for over a year while our child was in the classroom. She kept telling us to “be patient” however, the teacher is still employed there 2 years later. Most recently, our son (5 years old), who is now supposed to be in the development kindergarten class, was having a very hard time being stuck in a classroom with 25 other children, primarily 3 year olds, while the school plans to renovate. My wife tried to express concern to the director and was met with zero attempts to find a solution. Blame (for my child’s feelings toward the preschool) was placed on my wife for being pregnant, the time at which we drop him off in the morning, and the upcoming school year, with very minimal emphasis on the recent change back into the 3 year old classroom. The director tried to imply that 26 kids in a tiny room was a good preview into kindergarten life (mind you, these were mostly very young kids, and the classrooom is tiny. Plus, we’re paying for a private, expensive preschool, Not a public kindergarten). Recently, we’ve found out that the school keeps kids on their cots for nap time from 11:45-2:30/2:45.. this is entirely wrong. Our son cried about nap time every single day that he had to attend school, he’s never been a napper. The teacher in his pre-kindergarten class was great and let him do quiet activities like reading during this time, but 2.5-3 hours is much too long for 5 year olds to be napping. We are so sad that we continued to take him here for so long. We’ve talked to multiple other parents in the program who are equally distressed about what is going on there. Luckily, my wife is a stay at home mom and we were able to pull our son from the program and keep him home, but others who work, don’t have that option. I would like to say that my issue is mainly with management of the facility, not the teachers themselves. Most of the teachers are wonderful, caring people who tried their best to help when our son was having a hard time. There was a period of time where he really enjoyed school and looked forward to going (with the exception of nap). We are sad about our experience and obviously won’t be sending our other children there.

Finding a quality infant care is really difficult. We were in need of a new facility for our youngest, and it wasn't easy to find a place. However, I am very glad we found TG! After wrapping up our first year here I am happy to give it my endorsement. The staff is incredibly friendly and warm. We were so pleased with our daughter's caregivers; they always took the time to talk to us, knew our older children's names and were friendly to them even though they don't attend TG. Her main teacher, Corina, was especially wonderful. She is so personable and on top of things. While illness is inevitable when it comes to daycare, I think the staff does a great job when it comes to cleaning; at the end of the week they often had the room rearranged so that they could do a "deep clean" of all areas and items in the room. It's really hard to leave your baby, but at least I have the piece of mind to know that while I am at work, my daughter is in great hands.
