Little Tikes Childcare Center

I toured several facilities in the area, and ultimately decided on Little Tikes for our daughter for several reasons. The owner was more than willing to set up a tour and meet with me beforehand. She introduced me to the teachers, showed me around the facility, and ensured I had any information I needed. The facility is clean. The teachers are friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. Our little girl LOVES going to "ay-care" and is always talking about her friends, playing outside, and the various crafts they do. She's always so proud of the artwork she brings home. As a parent, it's very reassuring to hear your daughter ask to go to daycare. We're very thankful for this facility and all of the individuals that work there.

We’ve used Little Tikes for my son from 2 years old until 4 1/2 when he started county pre-k. He loved his time here and did so well. Even now that he’s in school he asks if he can go back and see his teachers on Friday when he’s not in school. We cannot recommend them enough

We started here when my kids were almost a year old, because it was close to my work. They are almost 3, and we just pulled them out. When we did the tour, the teachers obviously loved the kids, and we were sold by watching how the kids were loved by their teachers. They’ve lost every good teacher they have had. All of them. I’ve heard the main teacher be rude to the kids, even just recent. I’ve had a friend say her kid was sent home multiple occasions, and find out it was due to ratios. My kids started being harder and harder to drop off. I had to ask the owner no less than 4 times for the form that you use to claim child care expenses on taxes. She kept giving me the wrong amount. I paid just shy of $1200 a month, but she kept giving me papers showing I paid less than $13,000. She finally just told me to write in the number because she couldn’t figure out how much I paid. Final straw - they are not potty training friendly. I spent days getting my kids potty trained. And they did really well. No accidents for a full day before going to daycare in underwear. Day1 of daycare after intense potty training, and they put them in pull ups. My son decided he didn’t have to pee in a potty because they just put him in a pull-up. Was told they are not allowed to wear underwear unless they can tell them they need to go 100% of the time. One accident and they weren’t allowed to wear underwear. He hasn’t had an accident at home, only there. But that wasn’t acceptable. They toilet in the bathroom for the kids is not friendly to small kids. It’s so behind the times. I stayed because I liked some of the teachers, and the love my kids had for them. But when you treat your employees horribly, you lose them. And then you lose the families. I’d rather be inconvenienced with driving out of my way across town, adding an extra 20min one way on my commute to work for a babysitter then put my kids in this daycare again.

One star is being generous. There is no cameras. My husband walked around the daycare to get my son and not one adult was around. Every time I took my son there he cried when he seen the building. Btw he doesn't do this at his current daycare.

The facility is very clean and cheerful. Cameras are set up which is a great safety feature. I'm very impressed so far with Little Tikes! All the kids are happy and well supervised when I pick up my daughter in the evening.
