Recent parent reviews

  • Speckled Frog is a wonderful place for daycare. As a first time parent I was ever nervous to send my daughter to daycare, my child has been there for about 2 years now and has flourished. They do the cutest projects with kids daily, they are good about communicating any incidents, and they are great with teaching. Also they are amazing about potty training. I am extremely grateful for their staff specifically Ms Sam & Ms Stephanie.

  • We cannot say enough good things about speckled frog, Mr Bill, the staff and program! Our journey with them began when our son was 9 months old. Choosing who to let raise your baby in your absence is an emotional experience. With kindness, compassion, and communication, Bill held our hands through this transition. He and the staff built trust with us by showing how they cared for our son. It’s now been two years and I cannot say enough good things about speckled frog! They put children first. They have exceptionally high standards of their staff and program. Our son is happy, loved, celebrated, and educated! I cannot imagine him being anywhere else and we are grateful every day he goes here!

  • Speckled Frog has been amazing! As first time Parents, we were nervous sending our daughter to daycare but she started at three months old once my mat leave ended and is now 8 months and it’s been great! She has the best care while she’s there and comes home smiling every day! We are so grateful for the care she gets and she’s learning so much already!

  • I was a stay at home Mom for 14 months, absolutely terrified to put my daughter into daycare and go back to work, Speckled Frog easily wiped away all of my fears. My daughter has been enrolled for 6 months and is truly loved and cared for while at daycare here, I can see the happiness and eagerness that she has to be there every single morning when she sees the welcoming staff. My daughter is 18 months old and knows how to count to 10, knows her ABC's, and has absolutely phenomenal fine motor skills. I am able to drop her off every morning knowing she is safe and in the best of care, she has made so many friends and truly loves it. Bill has been an outstanding director and has exceeded every expectation that I had, any question or concern he is always there to help assist. The staff is very friendly and caring, they inform you of anything and everything that you want/ need to know about your child's day. They are very in tune with the community and have so many fun days/ events planned for the children, it is heartwarming to see the care and dedication that they put into their jobs.

  • We absolutely love Speckled Frog. Our daughter has attended since she was 6months old and we are having a great experience. She is almost 2.5 now and loves to go play with her friends and teachers. As a mom dropping her first child off to daycare at 6months, it was hard. I received daily updates when she was an infant and still receive a weekly email update. I have even sent a random email during the day to check on my daughter (simply because I missed her) and my emails are always responded to and reassuring. Bill has even gone above and beyond on more difficult drop off days to take the time to call me within a few minutes to reassure me that my daughter is happy and playing. With any concern I have had (and there have not been many), my feelings were taken very seriously and addressed immediately. My daughter is thriving. She is 2 and can count to 14. She knows her ABCs. She has taught ME songs I didn’t know. And of course we work on all of this at home too but I am 100% sure Speckled Frog has so much to do with this. We recommend them all the time and are so grateful to have them.

  • They kicked out my foster daughter because I teased whoever was emailing me about their tone. I had asked for a waiver on the registration fee because she’s in foster care and is special needs. The response I got was very aggressive and they spelled out their business plan and financial information to me, which was extremely odd. I was told I was being unprofessional, but I’m not working there; I’m a parent who wants everything for a child who needs equity over exclusion. I was accused of asking for special treatment because she’s neurodivergent and in care, and I absolutely was asking for that. Of course I was! She deserves it. I have a lot of very weird, very unprofessional emails from whomever represents the company. We loved Mr. Bill, the director, but my daughter has improved drastically since leaving there. Blessing in disguise. I’m facetious and I advocate for kids in need, so no regrets. They have a high teacher turnover and rarely allow parents inside. It sounds like the priority there is money over kids, which is sad. Obviously a business needs money to function, but not at the detriment to children.
