All of my children have gone to small world daycare, 2 school agers, 1 pre-schooler having older children discovering their emotions is rough, all of the staff there were AMAZING, handled EVERY situation with care my older children still interact with their old teachers when seen outside of the daycare. 🫶🏼 So when I had my daughter I knew what daycare she was going to be going to. She’s is now 14 month’s and has been going to small world since she was 5 months old. Every staff member is amazing with her she has her select few that she absolutely clings to and feels safe with. I love the progress she has made. Now, Here is my special shout out to Nikki Miller, my child’s teacher in her room. She treats my daughter as if she were her own child. The interaction between the two is absolutely amazing, and honestly my heart is at ease every time I drop her off because I know she’s in THE best hands. She has been taught sign language, new words, animals and so on she comes home everyday showing me something new. Nikki is always in great spirits when I drop my daughter off and I love that because kids pick up On things like that. I’m grateful as a parent to have a place like small world for my baby to attend.

My son has been going to Small World Daycare for several months now. I can't say enough about the staff and quality of care he has received. The staff is always so welcoming and kind. I love that they always keep me informed if he is sick, not feeling well or if anything happens throughout the day. Mrs. Nikki and Ms. Tatum have been my son's primary teachers and they are AMAZING! They care so deeply for each of the children in their care and go above and beyond! Brandi, the director, is also amazing and a very involved director! The Vandergrift location and its staff are top notch! If you are looking for daycare services, look no further! They have a wonderful and compassionate team!

My family has been with small world for about 4ish years now. Never had any issues. The teachers are great with the kids and have always communicated very well with us, which I am so appreciative of! We LOVE Miss. Nikki in the baby room, she treats the little babies like she would her own which definitely puts your mind and heart at ease when you’re leaving your new baby for a work day.

I am writing a special and heartfelt “shout out” to Mrs. Nikki Miller at Vandergrift Small World. She has been absolutely exceptional with my son since he started there a couple of months ago at just 3 months old. As a parent, it can be incredibly hard to leave your baby in someone else’s care, but Mrs. Nikki has made that transition so much easier for our family. She cares for him with such genuine love, patience, and attentiveness—it truly shows in the way he responds to her. She is wonderful with all of the infants and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure each child feels safe, comforted, and happy. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job to her; she has a true passion for what she does and a natural gift for nurturing little ones. Knowing that my son is in such caring and capable hands brings me so much peace of mind every day. We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Nikki and the other ladies that work there. We are thankful for their warmth, kindness, and dedication.

My oldest had a lot of stranger anxiety and leaving me was torture when she was little and they were always amazing with her! They helped her come out of her shell. My youngest currently still attends and she loves it. The staff is great and communicate very well with me. My niece and nephews also go there and my sisters never had an issue.

I've had a wonderful experience with Small World Daycare. The staff truly go above and beyond every single day. You can immediately see how much they genuinely care about the children and how dedicated they are to their work. They create a nurturing environment and make sure each child feels seen, supported and encouraged. I will always recommend Small World Daycare!
