Not once did she ever greet me or my child during drop off/ pick up. The turnover rate in this facility is so high that week to week I never knew who was going to be caring for my child. This definitely raised some red flags for my family. There were several occasions I did not like the behavior of the teachers that I saw on camera, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. It does seem like the teachers are trying their best, but leadership starts at the top and if Maggie is their leader, I can see why the turnover rate is as high as it is. There is hardly any interaction between the teachers and children other than reading to them occasionally. I have heard this complaint from several other parents in passing during drop offs and pick ups. Ultimately we decided to pull our child from the daycare after securing childcare at a much higher rated facility in the city. In my time at this location, Maggie had sent out several requests for 5 star reviews of this facility. I would recommend instead of soliciting 5 star reviews, you listen to some constructive criticism from the current reviews you have on this page. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Cheap childcare with terrible management. I would recommend looking anywhere else for childcare.

In the beginning of our experience, little tykes had competitive pricing, pretty decent care, and…read moreour kids did pretty well here. We enjoyed the pictures on the brightwheel app, the sign in system is pretty convenient. As time went on, after they opened the new branch, a lot of the teachers that our kids were used to being with got moved around. It pretty much was a tossup which room they were going to be in for the day, and who they were going to be with. Our kids did not do well with this. We began to see price increases for things like the new sick time law, being charged for different food, costs of things here and there that the business didn't want to eat. Okay. The food that our kids got on a day to day basis. Breakfast pretty much every day is almost always cereal with raisins. Lunch would be things like bologna, ham and cheese, hot dogs with cooked carrots, mac and cheese. The amount of increase we saw did not reflect the type of foods our kids were getting, and it felt like they were really trying to squeeze their kids for as much as they could. We have seen the owner here maybe 2 times in the 2 years we have been here. Okay. Here are my biggest gripes. We have been sent home so many times because our kids were "too weepy" and they didn't want to deal with it. We have been sent home for supposed hand foot mouth disease many times where it was then confirmed by a doctor not to be hand foot mouth, and that the marks were simply scratches. They laughed at us in the urgent care for even insinuating the idea that it was hand foot mouth, but in order to come back to the center we had to have paperwork saying they aren't sick. The number of times things like water cups, diapers, bottle nipples, and blankets were misplaced/sent home with other people were too numerous to count, and when we ask anyone to help us find it they would tell us "go ask so and so" and when you do, theyd usually help us look but if they couldn't find it it would just be "we'll have to keep an eye out for it". We would bring our kids in the mornings, and they would be bawling their eyes out trying to keep us from leaving them (pretty common), and there are several employees sitting on the floor talking/on their phones who would make no effort to comfort the kids or to even keep them from trying to get through the door (pinched fingers /physical injuries can occur when they are trying to stop the door from closing) and didn't even act like they cared a tiny bit that our kids were crying. They would just sit on the floor, they wouldn't even bother to get up. Laziness! The level of care you got REALLY depended on who was in that day. The number of times we picked up our kids where their diapers were completely soaked, or loaded with poop were also too numerous to count. If we asked them to be changed we wouldn't be told no, but we shouldn't have to ask for our kids to not be poopy upon pickup. The number one most consistent thing that this place cannot get right though, is the billing. We would usually pay with checks to dodge the credit card fee. We have gone a full month multiple times where the money does not get taken out of our account, and then $1000 gets taken out of our account all at once, but the brightwheel app still says we owe money. We have had to ask soooo many times to have errors in our balance corrected, it's a wonder this place is even making any money! I don't understand how you have $1000 worth of checks just from one family sitting, not being cashed and thats okay and not disrespectful to the family paying you. There are plenty of people who live paycheck to paycheck, and if they pay you and you don't take the money out of their account, they might think they have money that they don't actually have, and now their account is going to bounce because you didn't cash their check. Overall, if your kids need consistency with teachers, you prefer up front no-nonsense billing, and you want your belongings accounted for, I would not recommend little tykes unless you are in a pinch and have nowhere else to go.

From having a child here and working here, I personally saw the quality of care is not at all what…read moreyou would expect in the actual setting sadly. The amount of money parents pay to have their children taken care of isn't at all equal to the quality of how the care is towards to the children. Its extremely low staff and the staff that is there is so unhappy. They are all over worked and exhausted. It's kind of insane how different things appear when a parent is coming or person that works from the corporate office! They will literally call the classrooms of whomever is expecting a parent or person from corporate to warn them and send over other teachers just in case they need help to get back in to order. Negligence towards the children's needs is seen here a lot and different forms of abuse. As a parent: A teacher had told me that my child was put out side a few days prior without gloves or anything and cried the whole time because she was so cold. ( the main teacher never once told me this even when I asked them how her day was going one hour after) Even though I was there at work the teachers said they couldn't let me know because they were already outside. Which one is a lie, and two I'm not sure if this is because of the uneducated of the teachers but honestly it wouldn't take a very highly educated person to find more than one solution to this problem. They acted like it wasn't a big deal. I then realized they always put kids outside and if they don't have proper attire or make sure to put their attire on "sometimes they can't look at all the kids" - what I was told. They say it's not that big of a deal.. um it IS! These are little babies and children. It's unacceptable to have a daycare that their ONLY job is to take care of children and they literally lack in that.. and other kids in other classrooms that I had been with the other teachers would reinforce that and say oh it's fine they can go outside- no it's 32 outside.. they NEED proper attire.. Another thing is from working here I realized if the kids don't have proper sleeping sheets and blankets the kids will be put just in the cot and expected to sleep comfortably and has to sit there and be quiet for the two hours or more... now how would that be comfortable? Or even makes sense. As a teacher: The rules here for the kids I almost laughed when I first heard them because it's so asinine. One rule about when the kids are eating ( the parents are paying for food it's built into the extreme high amount of money it costs to go here) a child can only get about a quarter of a cup of milk, and if the kid spills it at all on accident they can't get anymore because they want to teach them about how milk is expensive. And somehow Appletree that literally brings in over a million dollars can't afford more than a gallon of milk a month.. Yes maybe they kind of seems like someone is trying to teach a good point, but these are little babies! They all spill stuff all of the time and then you're going to hurt their little egos by saying "no I don't care if you accidentally spilled your milk you get no more... " like What?? it's SO sad.. I spill things some times I don't expect someone to say to me oh well you aren't allowed to drink that ever again. Oh but if a directors child or a parent who works at corporate child does it they are allowed as much as they want, as the same for food too, If those kids get hungry they can have more snacks but any other kid - nope! Not allowed at all just have to tell them sorry no YOU can't get any... Little kids are human too and they are not treated nicely at all there. Another thing I learned is the teachers talk about the kids, yes that's expected but they talk SO bad about some... like this kid is ugly. This one is evil. This kid I can't stand. I hate this kid. This one will have this disorder when they are older.. and they say it in FRONT of the kids . That is emotional abuse.. First off- Uneducated teachers who have little experience and schooling. The teachers would be very unhappy from feeling like staff didn't care about them and how they are very VERY underpaid. Most teachers seemed to be here because they didn't know where else to work, which is kind of mind blowing and highlights the fact of uneducated..from working here you don't need experience, nor do you need to be educated at all. And everyone is payed minimum wage.. Very unacceptable to how they handle kids behind closed doors. The staff seems very friendly too but unfortunately they all dislike one another and the directors. All they do is gossip about one another and complain about everything. Also, another thing that was shocking is that they do not have a proper cleaning company, like say at a school that has a janitor or custodial person. The teachers are responsible to clean all of the classrooms at the end of the night and mop the floors with old mops that have to be at least 10 years old and old vacuums that are about the same.

We are greeted each day with warm smiles from ALL of the staff, who truly make us feel welcome, and that our daughter is genuinely cared for. She is excited to go to "school" each day, loves her teachers and friends there, and she's learned SO much! At almost 2.5 years old, she has quite the vocabulary (favorite saying of the moment: "It's aMAzing!"), knows most of her shapes and colors, can recite her abc's, and count past 10, and comes home every day, having learned something new. The center itself is beautiful, very clean and organized, with a wide variety of age-appropriate toys and a super fun playground, split into two sections for the younger and older kids. The administrative staff are very friendly, quickly respond to any questions or needs we have, and do a great job keeping the parents up to date on the various happenings at the center.
