Doodlebugs Day Care

"Our daughter came home with bite marks and scratches numerous times. Eventually we switched daycares because nothing was done to prevent our daughter from being hurt by other kids. They obviously do a poor job of monitoring children."

"Things may have changed since I was there but I did not like this place at all. My son came home with a huge knot and a scratch (that left a mark) on the middle of is forehead. I asked the teacher what happened and she said she didn't even notice it and had no idea what happened. Another time i went to pick my son up early during nap time. When i got there all the children were sleeping on their little floor mats and the staff was moping the floor. MOPING around the children. The smell of the chemicals were so strong, I could smell it as soon as I walked in the door of the building. I immediately went to the director and she didn't do anything about it. I took my son, I left all of his things there, and we did not go back."

"My daughter has been going to Doodlebugs for over a year now. It's hard to believe, it's been so long! Every teacher is super sweet, supportive, and are there because they love the kids (most all the staff have been there since before my daughter started attending). They aren't the most expensive daycare/preschool in the area, but the care easily outdoes any of the expensive private schools. They are constantly doing arts and crafts (which my daughter loves), dancing/singing, and lots of learning. I am constantly surprised by how much she has learned through her attendance at Doodlebugs. There are just not enough words to describe the wonderful staff that truly make Doodlebugs the amazing daycare/preschool that it is. In response to the review from two months I feel like I should add that the staff here has administered meds to my daughter on physician orders more times then I can count and have never overdosed her. Anytime she has ever been sick/hurt they have always called my cell phone directly, and even called my work when I was away from my cell. As a medical professional, I appreciate their vigilance about my daughter's health. Examples being when she had an excessive histamine reaction to a bug bite, when she fell awkwardly on her ankle, and when they caught that she was getting sick suddenly (ended up being hand, foot, and mouth disease and an ear infection all at once). If I am even the slightest bit concerned they have always kept in good contact with me. At any time I can(and do) call/text to get an update on how my daughter is doing. My daughter even had a long spell of GI sickness in which we had to figure out what was making her so sick. The teachers regularly ask(ed) me for updates on how she is doing at home. When the doctor asked for certain foods to be removed from her diet, they did it with no problems and have continued to keep her safe/healthy. It was so reassuring have them in my corner during that time because nothing was ever an issue. Without the teachers help in observing her toileting habits, my daughter would have suffered much longer then she did."

"This place overdosed my child and when informed of what they did they did not seek him medical attention even when he was unresponsive. For your childs safety Don't take your kids here. They're a joke. The teacher fb me (because that's the professional way to do it) that my child was sick and that he could barely keep his eyes open. She stated she gave him more meds. When I dropped my child off I told the teacher I left him with that he had already had medicine. She failed to inform the next teacher causing him to overdose. When I got there to get him the office so called administration was sitting there having lunch even though I told them they had overdosed him. The teacher was rocking him. Not one person called for medical help. Don't trust these aweful people they should be closed. The lady who left a review Betsy Snyder may have not of had a child that went there but that is exactly what they do. My son had so many teachers throughout the day that their lack of communication could have killed my son. There was never consistency. They mostly like to sit on their butts a play on their phones. Don't take your kids here. Im sure they will close down without business. I won't stop leaving these bad reviews or telling anyone I can about what you guys did to my son."

"I love Doodlebugs! They are seriously the best facility around NWA. My 3 kids have gone there for 4 years and the way that they treat my kids is incredible. They are very attentive and I trust them with my babies 100%. I would recommend them to anyone needing childcare."
