  • Best daycare in the area! My littlest has attended Polka Dots for over two years - only leaving due to aging out. I wasn’t looking for an in home daycare setting but giving Polka Dots a try was the best decision! I felt confident that my littlest was receiving good care, a variety of activities and new experiences, and love. With Polka Dots Family Daycare you get all of the intimate and individualized care you get from an in home plus all of the structure, learning experiences, and regulations you think of at a center. This is the only daycare I would choose in all of Gwinn!

  • Lisa gave me notice of termination the day after I told her I was looking for alternative care for my son, and did not help me at all to avoid termination which states in her handbook that she would try . I would not recommend. Also my son was in bottles at the time, and after she terminated me I wash them after and they were the dr brown bottles they were nasty no wonder why my son was getting sick all the time. She always had a snotty attitude too. And very pushy with the fact my son was not walking yet. She was very rude and disrespectful towards me.

  • We love Polka Dots! My kids LOVED Ms. Lisa and enjoyed their time there. As a parent, it was so comforting knowing I could drop my kids off and go about my work day without having to worry about a thing. It was always clean and well kept in there, and my kids always came home with cute art projects.

  • We sent our oldest to Polka Dots Family Daycare. I was really nervous because it was his first time away. Immediately we knew we picked the right place for him to go. Not only was he welcomed with so much love each morning, we also received updates and a lot of communication about how he was adjusting. If you're looking for somewhere your child will feel comfortable and loved while receive lots of attention and educational experiences you've found the right place!
