TOTALLY TOTS

This is a wonderful place! Our daughter started here right before turning 2 and was totally new to daycare. They made her feel welcome so quickly! Not only that, but she has learned so much in the time she has been there. Great people and a wonderful place.

Totally Tots Daycare is truly a gem. Our family has been with them for several years now, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love, care, and learning our children receive every single day. We have two kids currently attending – one started at three months old and the other at one year old – and they absolutely love it there. Linda and Bill, who have been running this daycare for over 30 years, are nothing short of incredible. They, along with their amazing team of teachers, treat our children like their own. Every drop-off feels more like leaving them at Grandma and Grandpa’s house than at a daycare center. Before coming to Totally Tots, we were enrolled at a chain daycare, and the difference is night and day. The personal attention, the warmth, the communication, and the genuine care at Totally Tots is unmatched. My son often talks about how much he loves his teachers, and we’ve been blown away by how much he’s learned – he’s already starting to read! What sets this daycare apart is the attention to detail. From applying moisturizer when the kids are sick, to lovingly bandaging every little scrape, the staff goes above and beyond. Any request we’ve made has always been met with kindness and support. The environment is incredibly clean, safe, and welcoming – I’ve been through every room and never once felt anything but confident in the care provided. Learning is clearly the priority here. The toddlers do daily activities and stations, and preschoolers even have separate time for focused learning. While TV is occasionally used at the very end of the day (usually around pick-up time), it’s minimal and never used in place of quality engagement. Our kids come home excited about the projects and activities they’ve done, not just what was on screen. One of the things that impressed us most is the excellent staff-to-child ratio. We regularly see 3–4 teachers upstairs with fewer than 20 kids, and another 3–4 teachers downstairs with about a dozen. As a pediatric nurse (mom) and a pediatrician (dad), we’re both very mindful of safety, cleanliness, and developmental support – and we have zero concerns. We truly don’t know what we’d do without Totally Tots. With no family nearby, it means everything to know our kids are in a place that feels like home, surrounded by people who love and support them. We recommend this daycare wholeheartedly – it’s a very special place.

Totally Tots took wonderful care of our children from ages 1-4. We always felt safe leaving them with Linda and her team, they became family to us. The boys loved going and we were sad as a family to end our time there. We're thankful we had somewhere wonderful to send our children.

I am very happy with totally tots daycare center, definitely a five star. my child comes home happy everyday, i know of so many fun activites that are shown to me at the end of the day. And not to mention how immaculately clean they keep it inside, and how clean my child comes home every day with no complaints. click their totally tots page on facebook, you will see the fun and enjoyment on the childrens faces. games are played, lots of activities, lots of pizza and dance parties, and much love from the staff. i took my child out of an unhealthy daycare, and the change in him ever since totally tots opened their doors for us has been wonderful. he’s happy and he’s learned so much over these last months, he is speaking more, not to mention interacting with other children like never before. communication with staff upstairs and downstairs is a breeze, all are very kind, friendly and understanding. The owners of totally tots are the most wonderful people i’ve ever met. Dropping my child off definitely feels like home and i have no worries throughout the day in my mind knowing my child is so cared for. WE LOVE AND TRUST YOU ALL SO MUCH TOTALLY TOTS! THANKS FOR MAKING US AND OUR CHILD SO HAPPY AND EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR MY CHILD

I’ve heard a lead toddler teacher: - Routinely puts toddlers in timeout in a corner for long amounts of time - so often that one child shared they “didn’t go to the corner today” - Instructs children to do non-developmentally appropriate tasks and then reports that they are difficult or deficient in that task - Often has children watching tv shows and movies More broadly the state mandated staffing ratios are routinely not upheld at this center, which is very concerning. Please ask questions, and look very carefully at what is going on here.
