We are very happy with our experience here. Both kids potty trained by 2. My 3 year old is learning letters. They are always doing fun activities. We've tried other daycares and we did not have as good of an experience. We are considering skipping UPK at local school because we are so happy with our experience at Small Wonders.
Kate LewandowskiJul 3, 2026*not an accurate recent review* I’m 29 years old now and I’m just starting to speak about trauma I’ve endured in my life. I went to small wonders and I remember seeing a staff member THROW another child. My younger sibling has had two reported head injuries here and seizures to follow. Also, myself, I was told I ran into an outside picnic table there and that’s why I have stitches and now scar in my face. Take this with a grain of salt but if there are any staff members still there, you’ve been warned.
Jackie OconnellMay 25, 2025This place need to be shut down plz if you love your child stay away from this plz
A ArifJan 10, 2024Please for the safety and well being of your child, do not send your child here. We as new parents decided to give this facility a try and things went for the worse. Our daughter has been traumatized and sick after being at this facility. She has been sick enough where she had to have medical visits 3 times in a week. I can share more in debt details/pics of what occurred here…just message me, The director Lorraine is completely useless and covers up everything for her slow witted staff members. Surprisingly In “all their years of business” this may be the first and or one of the few reviews they have received. If you love your child, please do not go here!
Brian VarugheseJun 2, 2022This review is bitter sweet because my 2 1/5 yo had been going to Small Wonders since before she turned 1!!! The ONLY reason we moved her is because I got a job which required me to work later. My daughter learned so much there. She started off nonverbal and barely said anything other than Mommy or Daddy. The rest was gibberish! After she turned 2 I began to notice small yet major milestones. My daughter started knowing numbers and colors and started doing and saying things I knew I didn’t teach her at home! My daughter asked me for a fist bump one day which really caught me by surprise! Haha! Eventually she started putting words together and the milestones continue even up until het last few days there. She knows her name, dresses herself (well she tries) and usually successful! She wants to do it all herself. She sings songs and can count to 10! We were so sad to leave but hope one day she will return because she really developed a love for her teachers (Ms. Lori, Ms. Becky and Ms Lynn, Ms Sheila and Ms. Stephanie). Special thank you to Ms. Lorraine for taking good care of the children and staff during these challenging times with Covid. We miss you all so much! If you plan to send your child to Small Wonders do it! Tell them Rhyla sent you!
Wanda AlmonteFeb 2, 2022I love this daycare! They really go above and beyond and always involve all age groups, even the babies, in the daily activity or art and craft. It helps to know that I am leaving my daughter in good hands each day. I recommend highly :)
