Small Wonders Nursery School, Inc.

Best daycare in Clinton! The Director and staff members are very kind and do above and beyond. They are very attentive with the needs of the children in the daycare, and they always keep them actively doing something. Compared to surrounding daycares, the tuition is fair. The building is very secure, with controlled access and bullet proof windows. I would much rather pay a little more in tuition for my child to be in a secured daycare like Small Wonders. Great location in a great community, Mariner Point.

After having a bad experience at our son’s previous “church” daycare, we were able to get him into Small Wonders. Ms. Lillia was his teacher and was absolutely amazing with him. She, along with the rest of the staff really made us feel like they genuinely cared about our son and worked with him to get him school ready. We are truly grateful for them being a part of our village. ♥️

My newborn managed to catch RSV his first week there, my first week off maternity leave. All I did was message the director (lillia) to let her know and she jumped to saying that nobody else had it there in 3 weeks. Boom. 5 out of 8 babies in their nursery tested positive with RSV in the same time frame. Makes me wonder what kind of guidelines were being followed for that many infants to catch it when they aren’t even mobile. My son ended up hospitalized with a collapsed lung and on high flow oxygen, on the verge of ICU, we spent the entire week there. When I updated Lillia my message was ignored. Yet she made sure to gossip about me while we were going through a horrible time. Also made sure to collect the $330 for the week even though we were in the hospital. Also seems to have more empathy towards animals rather than children. A director of a daycare sharing things on Facebook saying to avoid sending your DOGS to dog daycare to avoid respiratory illness, yet runs a daycare for babies and lacks any empathy towards them and their family when they catch a dangerous respiratory illness there. The most she did was finally message once my son was better, and claim to “try” to send a snack basket but the company was “garbage” so she didn’t send one. I genuinely liked all the teachers there, but lillia gave me too many red flags that I would never send my children back into that environment. I wish I had trusted my gut when I originally met her. Parents be careful and trust your instincts always!

I was promised that my son would have a spot in this daycare in August only to find out that there actually wasn't a spot available. I toured the facility and spoke with Bailey and she assured me the spot was saved. When I called back to come bring a check for the deposit they informed me that they "Miscalculated" and there would be no spots available until spring of 2024. Our babysitter is quitting and this was the only option of daycare at the time. Daycares have long waiting lists but they shouldn't have promised a spot without backing it up. They had my phone number and could have called me to tell me about the mistake however they didn't. I had to call them to find out. This is beyond unprofessional and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else that is thinking about taking their child here. That's the only reason I'm writing this review. Do not trust Small Wonders Nursery School.

Small wonders has taken care of our little one since she was 5 months old and she is now 1. They send pictures to the parents to let them know what their little ones are up to. Cameras in all class rooms. Unlike other daycares, you must have a key fob to get into the building and a digital check in and check out system. They give real time updates on how and what your little one is up to. Every feeding(what they ate, what time and how much), every nap and every diaper changing. We love Small wonders and all the hard working teachers!
