First off, I can't recall how many times they shut down due to kids and staff testing positive for COVID. The toys always look filthy and disgusting so I know they aren't doing a good job of cleaning and disinfecting. When they were mandated to clean after having a positive COVID case, is when things actually looked clean. There's many times where the front door will be wide open and no one sitting at the front desk, so just anyone could walk in. Mariella, the person who runs the school, is always extremely rude. She has a snotty attitude and you get the feeling you're being talked about as soon as you leave the school doors. I call every morning before 9 am, to let them know we will be there by 10 am, which is required of us to do. Her phones wouldn't go to voicemail, no one answered the phone, and I called at least 3 times. Then she had the audacity to point blame on me and told me to basically jump through more hoops and contact his teacher. Which even though it's ridiculous, I said fine. Brings me to my next topic, I don't even know who his teachers are anymore because they switch so often. They never have constant or reliable staff. The only great teacher I've met there so far is Ms. Prascilla. There's two teachers who are still there even though I complained about how rude they are to the kids. A teacher with bright red hair is so rude to the kids. She will YELL at them, barking commands and god knows what else. I stayed home from work and kept my son with me any time she was filling in for his class because she is that mean. I refuse to let her watch him. There's some teachers who just don't care to be there and they don't care to engage, play, or teach the kids. There are constantly way too many kids in the classes. I understand it's about 9-1 ratio for kids/teachers for my sons age group but it's chaos. Theres three teachers in one class usually with 9 kids for each teacher. 20 something kids in one class at times. There's been multiple times where I've had to intervene personally between kids because one will be hitting another, climbing dangerously on something, or just crying without any comfort or acknowledgment from the teacher(s). There was a time when a little girl (no older than 3) had a giant piece of plastic in her mouth and no one even noticed till I did, she could've very well choked easily and no one would have noticed till it was too late. There's been multiple times where my child's medicine was never distributed to him. They do medicine time twice a day and I always bring 4 vials, to ensure that they're being used. Yet, I've had multiple occasions where they told me yes, he got his medicine, but there were still 4 vials. Due to the lack of availability in other schools, my child is stuck here until I can find somewhere else. I know of other parents that are in the same boat. 2 stars because the school itself is in a safe neighborhood. Otherwise, it'd be one. I'm pretty easy going too so writing this review is really disappointing.

The front desk ladies look very nice and that's what made me…read morewant to bring my child here, but her first day I went to pick her up and nobody knew where my child was, On top of that they where outside and nobody directed me where to go or who to talk to and all the staff where talking in a group not even watching the children and I clearly saw a little girl put a rock in her mouth, and I saw a little boy push another little boy, their was also a child crying by the slide which nobody even cared to see if she was okay. when I finally got to my daughter She was with a different teacher and not even with her class and when I asked her teacher how her day was she said it was good, which it was not because she failed to tell me my daughter and another little girl were fighting and she also didn't tell me that she didn't eat or sleep well because she slept on the way home and when we did get home she was very hungry, which she never ask for dinner any earlier than we usually have it, the first day was enough for me to pull her out of the center and with that being said they wanted to charge me 3 weeks Because they needed a two week notice that I was not even aware of because no where on the paperwork that I signed said I needed a two week notice. so I am currently trying to get my money back and I actually put my daughter into another day care which she absolutely loves so with that being said I highly DO NOT recommend this center!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Caughlin Preschool to any parent looking for a school that is going…read moreto genuinely care for their child. Our son started here as an infant, and not once did I ever question the love and care he was receiving. The staff and teachers are fantastic with very little turnover which allowed our son to foster and maintain strong bonds with everyone there from a very early age. It's a good sign when you pick up your kiddo, and they don't want to leave - we lost count of the days that happened very early on! They have great curriculum, we were shocked at some of the things he was coming home and saying or singing, and a fantastic outdoor playground for all ages that they went outside and played in every day. Cannot recommend them enough!

I am extremely disappointed with the care my child has received at Caughlin. My son has hearing…read moreloss in one ear, and since he turned two, this daycare has done nothing but discriminate against him due to developmentally appropriate behaviors and a minor speech delay that has improved dramatically. Despite providing them with extensive resources on how to care for a child with hearing loss, they refused to implement any of the suggestions or accommodations. This has only made my son feel like an outsider and a target, which is heartbreaking as a parent. The daycare's lack of empathy and understanding for children with disabilities is clear. My son was penalized for age-appropriate behavior like hitting and kicking, which he doesn't exhibit at home or with friends, and certainly not at Sunday school. This behavior, typical for his age just recently started within the last month. This behavior is age appropriate and was certainly not a continued issue. When asked about how it was happening they could only provide excuses about the teachers, other students and never answered my questions. The communication between teachers is abysmal, and the high turnover rate among staff only exacerbates the issue. There seems to be a lack of commitment to consistent care, and the owner, Joanne, seems to view children as dollar signs rather than individuals in need of genuine care and attention. Teachers are trained, but it doesn't seem to make any difference--there's little to no real progress in creating a nurturing environment. The classroom is chaotic, with 16 toddlers crammed into a small space, leaving no room for meaningful interaction or learning. It feels more like a fishbowl than a place for children to grow, and it is impossible for a child to thrive in this kind of environment. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your child's care. There are plenty of other daycare facilities that are equipped to handle children with special needs or any kind of disability. (A handful of reviews have stated this regarding children with disabilities, learning delays or special needs) This place is just not the right fit and has made what should be a positive experience a stressful and disheartening one for both my child and myself.

One of the things we appreciate most is the small, intimate setting--it allows for meaningful one-on-one time between the kids, their friends, and their teachers, which has made such a positive impact on our boys. The school also does an amazing job creating opportunities for families to be involved. Events like the family lunches, Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, and holiday parties make it feel like more than just a school--it's a community. Most importantly, both of our boys absolutely love going to school. They come home excited to share stories about their teachers and friends, which says everything. We feel confident that they are well cared for, supported, and getting exactly what they need to prepare for elementary school. We couldn't be more grateful to have found such a special place.

All the teachers are fantastic; they're happy to be there, they're great with the kids, and most of them are eager to communicate about your child's day and work with you on developmental goals (our youngest is potty training and they've been helpful with suggestions and ideas for success and are never judgmental about our approach). I love the fact that their day consists of learning new things, tons of reading, TONS AND TONS of artwork, and a decent amount of outside time. I've always thought a good way to tell if a child has enjoyed themselves is to just look at them. My kids come home filthy almost every day and I'm thrilled by that! They are playing hard and discovering new things and on those occasions when we can't be there to do that with them, I'm comforted to know they're surrounded by people who will nurture their curiosity and sense of adventure. Like most of the other centers in town, they have the tumble bus once a week but they also have yoga once a week and my kids have benefited from that more than I ever would have guessed. They both really enjoy that time and I would love to see other opportunities like dance or martial arts someday. I think it's a great way to introduce the kids to different activities and give them a taste of everything so they can decide which ones to pursue further on our own. Overall, I think this is a great place! They're growing and improving constantly and I'm excited my kids get to be a part of it.

We called in early March for availability for our infant and were told the soonest was May which worked perfectly with our timeline. We came in to tour and then coordinated a day to come in before our infants first day. We came in to do our orientation a week prior to the first day and Yaya seemed very confused when we came in and told us she "couldn't remember" what room our infant was placed into.. We were shown the classroom she would be in and were introduced to the teachers. We were told that she would have a cubby for all her items; however, on the first day of drop off she did not have a cubby or an area for her items. Not to mention I did not even recognize the teachers who were in the classroom with her. When I went to look for the items I dropped off, I found them items on the floor in a storage closet while other infants had their items neatly set up and put away. When we confronted the center they claimed "a label" is not a reflection of the care our child will receive and the excuse was "Erica" has been out for a week and they didn't know where our infant's stuff was so they couldn't set up her items properly. They had plenty of notice to prepare for our infant advance. It may just be a label but what it shows me they are unorganized, lack basic communication skills amongst their employees and if they can't properly store her necessities, they lack the ability to they take care of my child, it is 100% a reflection of the care my child will receive.

I proceeded to tell her that that was not my child. I have a daughter. She seemed confused. I repeated my daughter's name. She said "yeah, this is him". I said no.. that's not mine. I have a daughter. Not a son. She finally was able to get my daughter to me. Had I been some weirdo/creep, I could've easier walked away with that little boy. As if you need even more of a reason to avoid this place... the staff here is terrible to the kids. My daughter would always cry and hated going to Pebbles. I later found out that her teacher was constantly yelling at her and the other kids in her class. She was terrified of her and GOD knows how she was treating those poor kids. I've asked my daughter repeatedly if she was ever hit or grabbed by her teacher and she denies that BUT I did see her teacher roughly pull and shake a child in her class while she yelled at the poor crying little girl. I immediately withdrew my daughter after witnessing that. I spoke to a staff member about that incident and she admitted that that teacher is constantly yelling at the kids and is really rough with them. We ended up paying for a few weeks without even taking our daughter in because we were just so uncomfortable with the whole situation. Please do NOT send your kids here!!

We loved our first teacher, Mrs. Debbie. She was very understanding and helpful as we were first time parents and this was all new to us. Also, Mrs. Camille was very helpful as we understood our daughter can be hard headed at times so she was very understanding. Unfortunately, that's really where our good experiences stopped. I will spare the paragraphs and paragraphs of complaints I can list, but to make it short, my wife and I were constantly reminded of how much of a "troublemaker" our daughter was. We would consistently receive attitude and dirty looks when our daughter did not have a good day. We also were potty training and got to a good point where she was having no accident overnight or during the day during the 2 week winter break and that's is when she was moved to the "3's classroom." Upon returning to school she regressed significantly and constantly complained of rashes and pain, and we were blamed for this regression and told that if she does not improve, they would "not be able to accommodate her in this facility." The end our experience was when we received a call that we needed to meet with the director upon picking up our daughter. That day, we met in a room and I was told that our daughter choked another child (which she has NEVER done that at home or anywhere for that matter) and handed 6 MONTHS worth of "discipline issues" that we were never asked to meet about before. They told us that that day was her last day and that she was not to return to the school. From our perception, it seemed that her "behavior issues" were less behavior problems, and more a lack of stimulation/ wasn't the typical easy child that will just sit and be quiet. Our daughter has since started at a new school and has not had any of the issues listed above, and in fact we are told every week how good she is doing and how much fun she is having. At home since starting the new school we have been amazed at how much she has learned and how much she loves going to school.
