I was hesitant at first to bring my daughter to Tiny Tiki after hear a few bad comments. I decided…read moreto check the place out for myself after looking at a few daycare's. The staff was about to leave when I walked in for a holiday break over the summer, but Ms. Donna welcomed me in to show me around. I was impressed with how clean each of the rooms were. They have hard wood floors throughout with the occasional area rug for children to sit and play or read. Each child has their own hook for their coats and backpacks. The infant room as a dedicated location for each child's belongings (Diapers, cups, snack, pacifiers, etc.) They have an outside location for the children to play during the warm weather. In the summer they do water play. Once a week the music teacher comes in and the kids have a blast. Tiny Tiki is a fun place to be. After a short discussion with my husband we decided to bring our daughter here. Day one was rough for me to leave my daughter at 3 months old, but Ms. Donna was quick to send me pictures of how happy she was throughout the day. Over a year later I can honestly say choosing Tiny Tiki was the best decision. My daughter is so happy to go to day care each day. She knows all the teachers and can say their names at almost 2 yrs old. They all care for each of the children as their own. There are even times when she cries because she doesn't want to leave. I never worry about her being there all day while my husband and I are at work. Keep up the great work! Thumbs up to Ms. Donna for running such a great school.

I am a new employee as an Infant teacher, for a few weeks now, I relocated from a another TLE…read moreCenter, where i was also an infant teacher and I have to say the management in the Cedar Grove location is so amazing!!!! what a difference management makes!!!!!!!! they are on point with everything very well organized they have everything running accordingly!!!!They have knowledge, but most of all they have heart.!!!!! It's so refreshing to work with a team that's knowledgeable, supportive, kind, and compassionate.!!!!! Lead leaders..... to make a good team you have to lead by example, I give major kudos to shelley, Danielle and cardine for their work ethic and for making my decision of relocating so much better!!! if you are looking for a daycare, that's very well put together and want to feel safe about having your child go there..... they are going to experience an abundance of love support and compassion. I have met and witnessed other teachers in other classrooms and the way they handle their classroom and the way they are with the children all I could see is love, admiration and compassion!!!! but most of all PATIENCE which is what children need...... This is truly the canter to bring your kids if you live in the Cedar Grove or nearby towns, you will not regret it...I am a mom of two sons who are adults now I've worked in a pediatric office. I've worked in labor and delivery. I'm also a birth doula and I have to say out of all these places I've worked in with management and coworkers this by far......beats it allllllll...,,there's so much love here ..,,, something that they need....you gotta remember parents have to work so I am sure that while they're at work they want to hope and know that their children are giving the love and compassion and support and helping them with their milestones..... and REMEMBER these children are a reflection of us, so us teachers will be raising leaders here...... because what we would want for our own we would want for others...... many people have told me if I say something it's gotta hold truth... I never did have to back up my words because actions always spoke the truth. The Learning experience in Cedar Grove I am telling you....,,. YOU will not be disappointed....... and plus they'll have me as an infant if they are at that age. if you don't take my words, just experience it...

A few months ago, I was a first-time mom terrified of where I was going to leave my daughter while…read moreI went back to work. I started by pricing stay at home nannies and soon realized that it would take a big chunk out of my paycheck so I decided to look at the local day cares. After several tours, I realized that there are mainly two types of day care: large state of the art (usually chain/franchise) schools with steril classrooms or tiny over crowded day cares with classrooms that looks a little like a ongoing garage sale. In the beginning, I was excited about the first type. They had shiny pamphlets going on about how you can watch your kid all day on their live video feed. Then I went for a tour and I was able to walk into the building because someone kicked the rug under the door and it wasn't latched. I then saw that most of the staff working there were college kids with a high turnover and later researched that day care video gets hacked. With the latter, I didn't see how an infant was going to get the attention needed with so many other kids. Not to mention, I learned what coxsackie was on one of these tours. Yikes! My last tour was the Busy Bee Academy. I actually almost canceled because I was so discouraged with all my tours, I was ready to foot the bill for a nanny. I'm so happy that I didn't cancel that day. I met with Susan one of the owners who gave me a tour of their very quaint facility off a quiet parking lot in Fairfield. She immediate started to tell me how Busy Bee is a family run business celebrating its 15th year. The lobby was super safe! No shared codes, the staff knows who you are and only lets approved pickups in the building. She then brought me down a small hallway with bright classrooms full of happy kids. The playground is built off the parking lot (like most day cares) but above it is a forest of trees which is neat for the kids. Susan actually stressed how Busy Bee focuses on education even with infants. I told her my little one was musical and she showed me foot pianos, xylophones, and explained how a gentleman comes in every so often to play instruments with the kids. Half the staff are experienced moms that have been with the academy for quite some time. Most the staff is referred word-of-mouth which I appreciated as well. It was an easy decision to enroll my little one right away. I have a flexible job so I was so happy that not only the daily hours but the days of the week too are month to month. Since joining the Busy Bee family, my little one has not only been happy at day care but I think she prefers it! Every milestone she comes home with a cute keepsake (seashell with a baby footprint! Too cute) and she has seriously advanced both cognitively and physically. I am so thankful to the staff at Busy Bee for making this transition so easy for the both of us!
