Reviews of Tiny Tot Nursery School
"Do NOT bring your infants here. If I could give this place a negative star I would."
"My daughter has attended Tiny Tots for the past 9 months and it has been a great experience. Mary Lou, Jackie, and Sharon really love their jobs and all the children. My daughter is happy to be there when I drop her off and she is happy when I pick her up. They do a lot of activities together and my daughter has even learned some songs. I would recommend this daycare to parents. The prices are competitive and the employees are consistent."
"I am not typically the type of person to write a poor review online, but I feel as though I would be doing a disservice to Moms in the future if I did not. Perhaps being a new mom I was super sensitive to having to send my child to daycare or perhaps my concerns were truly valid… regardless I thought to offer my opinion. I enrolled my three month old in Tiny Tots for a week and a half. I had gone with my husband to visit the facility prior to choosing this daycare and I did not have any concerns. Unfortunately this quickly changed after a discussion with one of the directors about leaving my infant's car seat. I was told that due to state regulations I was not going to be allowed to leave her car seat there. Confused, I called the state and was informed that there was no such rule against this. I confronted them after perhaps just a misunderstanding, and she soon back tracked about this simply being a rule of her own. I was saddened that she had been dishonest with me, but again chalked it up to poor communication. The days were continuing to go well, though after I confronted them on the wording of the car seat they appeared less engaged with me and even had made some condescending comments. Unfortunately, the most alarming concern was later after three nights of my daughter no longer sleeping and appearing to be hungry more often. I questioned them about how much she was receiving throughout the day in formula. I was informed that she was not even being fed half the amount I had instructed. Prior to bringing my child, the directors asked for a schedule and estimate of what she eats daily; which I did. I do not believe they had read the schedule provided nor had knowledge about the needs of a growing three month old. I then confronted them once again and was informed that it was me who had misspoke despite having provided them with a written word document. While I can appreciate them for the hard work that they do every day, I could not forgive their lack of knowledge and professionalism when dealing with both myself and my husband. Please consider this review when choosing your provider moving forward."
"Tiny Tot has been the best decision I have made for my family. My husband and I, both educators, visited several day cares before choosing Tiny Tot, which came highly recommended by many of my friends and coworkers who have used them over the last 15 years. Mary Lou, Jackie, and Sharon are nurturing, attentive care givers for my three year old daughter (who has been with them since she was four months old) and now to our ten month old who has been attending for the last four months. Our oldest child absolutely loves going to school -- she misses it on holiday breaks and the weekends because she enjoys the craft times, reading books, helping to decorate the playroom or do other chores, and playing outside with her friends. At three, she can spell her name, recognizes letters and numbers, has an impressive vocabulary, can independently dress and take care of herself, and has better manners than kids far older. And as much as I would like to say we can take credit for it, I know so much of it is due to the care and personal attention she has received from Tiny Tot. Mary Lou, Jackie, and Sharon clearly love their jobs and these kids, who truly have become part of the family. They are firm with the kids never stern, and they insist that the older kids learn to help themselves as soon as possible. Our little one is so well cared for. For the babies, they rock and play with them, have circle time, and sing songs and practice movement. The holidays are so much fun at Tiny Tots -- they spend so much of their time decorating, practicing songs, creating crafts, etc. Just last week my toddler made a little stocking to hang on a mantle Jackie created and they spent time decorating a Christmas tree with colorful ornaments. My toddler cannot wait to tell me all about her day's experiences when I pick her up from school. Mary Lou and Jackie take pride in their facility and their professionalism. They openly communicate with parents and are upfront about any concerns or issues. I could not recommend them more."
"I would not recommend this daycare to anyone EVER. The Director - Mary Lou is very unprofessional, seems very nice at first. My daughter didn't seem happy (and is normally a happy outgoing kid). I'm upset I trusted my judgement with this one. We visited a few times and everyone seems so nice. I found out the children barely every went outside and when I picked her up she was watching tv. I'm sure they treated her fine, she would have told me otherwise. I've recognize a few other children from Tiny Tot in her new daycare (wonder why). If anyone wants to pay by check, it had to be paid a full month in advance. She had been on a wait list for another daycare and I was told there was an opening, after she attended Tiny Tot for only 3 days. Mary Lou requested 2 weeks notice which is standard. I notified her on a Monday afternoon that my daughter would not be attending anymore but I would still let them keep 2 of the week I already pre-paid. She rounded the first week to the end of that week and said she was keeping 3 weeks. I had already paid for 5 weeks and had to fight to get my last 3 weeks back. She tried muting the phone and told her staff - "she isn't going to be busting me for my money..." WHAT PROFESSIONAL/DIRECTOR TALKS LIKE THAT! I find this very unacceptable and unprofessional. I would never recommend this daycare to anyone. I'm surprised there aren't any other reviews, good or bad on here. I'm not one to write terrible reviews but I would not feel comfortable if I didn't write one."
