This was my second experience with a Child Care Facility. It has been the worst experience ever And…read moreI may never trust another childcare facility after this one. My childcare was paid for by the state as is for most of the parents there. The owner filed false documentation to DSHS requesting extra funding for Disibility Services that they don't even offer. The only reason I knew about it is because I got the letter saying it was denied after they told me there was something I need to sign that I didn't sign. The owner Vicky, is absolutely harsh and unkind. There was not one single time that I saw her that she did not tell me something I was doing wrong as a parent. They did not listen to my wishes for my child, they let the people who are allowed to pick her up, make decisions for her instead of calling me to ask me permission as I have custody. They don't even have time.And the saddest part about all of it is that my daughter was so sad to go to daycare/school. She absolutely hated it. And she loves kids and she loves being around other people, but she hated this place and that was the true sign that this is not a good place to take your children. I strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for childcare. If you would like your children to be happy. Do not take them here. They like to claim they have five star reviews, and the first thing they told me is that they were a five star learning Academy, but all I saw was bored kids not eating their food and not having any fun or learning anything. A specific example of how horrible this place is when we picked up my daughter one day and she had soaked all the way through her pull-up and all the way through her clothes so I had to drive her home without clothes on. That's how wet her clothes were. And she was in the middle of potty training so if they had just asked her if she wanted to go potty, she would've done it. Instead, they ignored her and let her diaper soak through her clothes till she was sopping wet, and it was dripping down her . I promise you there HAVE to be other places in Spokane Valley that are higher quality than this place. Just from their deceit to DSHS alone I think they should be shut down.

There is no way the person had any reason to be dishonest. Having caregivers who love their job and value children to the degree that this person and their other teachers do, is rare.

Science Day was one of his favorites, and he told everyone about Miss Hunter (partly because they shared a name) because he wanted to share what he learned in science. He tells people all he knows about Jesus, and that his teacher, Mrs. Rablin taught him. He always said the playground is the best ever. I loved that the staff was all so great with the kids. They are patient and kind, and yet firm. The kids know what is expected of them and what they can expect in return. This school provides a wonderful and positive environment for learning, growing, and making memories!

We observed children enjoying themselves and interacting playfully with teachers and other children. The center was clean and displayed artwork from many of the children. It was clear to me that this was a great place to bring our child. We've been very happy with our decision to work with Little Learner. Its been several weeks now and we have ZERO complaints. I'm glad that poor behavior is not tolerated and good behavior is rewarded. Positive reinforcement is a good thing. It seems to me that other reviews may be a little one-sided.

I wish I could give them 0 stars. The only reason they have…read moreany 5 star reviews is because they bribe people with target girft cards to give them a great review. THEY ARE HORRIBLE! They call me almost every day because one of my kids has a "fever", I go pick them up, and they are PERFECTLY fine. I am state pay, so they get paid anyway.........so when they don't feel like actually taking care of my kids, they just send them home. Not only this, but they will find any excuse to suspend kids. For weeks at a time...... The Manager Naomi likes to tell you how to punish your children if they have a bad day, She also told me that my son is not normal, I am applaud with her. the communication absolutely sucks. My daughter started as an infant, and apparently the hours for the infant classroom differ from the normal hours. NO ONE TOLD me this. I found out after I was charged for "overtime" for her being there. My kids are all unhappy, dirty, and starving when I pick them up. They HATE going. awful place.

She is 10 months, there is never any incident reports the staff never notices anything per their words and I'm fed up with bringing my daughter there. There are a bunch of young adults that work there and are careless. Please do not bring your child to this daycare because they do not monitor them at all and if something happens they will not inform you. Also, my niece attends and she is very vocal with a big vocabulary and voiced she has had an accident today before lunch. She was in wet clothes all day and they failed to inform my sister. Terrible care! I'm so disappointed because I understand things happen but they just are careless with their care for children. I repeat DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE!

We were well informed about what was happening in the classroom and our kids' progress in learning the material presented. Anytime we had concerns, they were addressed professionally and timely.

The ten months I worked at Robyns nest was quite the experience to say the least. If you enjoy…read moreworking to the point of burnout, constant physical and mental exhaustion, as well as never ending work place drama this is definitely the place for you. The children are about the only good thing about this place. The owner (Robyn) shows constant favoritism to her own daughter (Angel) that works here, her sister (Ladonna), and the few employees that she likes/ that have worked there for years. Her daughter (Angel) who is not even qualified to work here is allowed to do the bare minimum(causing other classrooms to go without and other people to do her job), runs personal errands on the clock, she watches her own child on the clock(other employees have also had to help watch her daughter while working), she does her own personal school work on the clock, sits in the office doing personal tasks rather than working, leaves for longer periods of time than her allotted break times, shows up late, "isn't allowed to be in the bathroom for too long because she forgets what shes doing/ where she is" (Robyns own words), wears whatever she wants while the rest of us follow a dress code. Other employees are expected to pick up Angel's slack and not say anything about it, yet Robyn has fired other people on the spot for the same thing. Ladonna the cook does not follow food safety policies, consistently leaves food uncovered in the fridge after cooking it, freezes, de-thaws, and re-freezes food. Claims things on the menu are homemade but in reality they are pre-made items. Uses the microwave to cook 90% of the food, walks around the center with the same gloves on that shes uses to prepare the food. Has served expired food as well as raw food on multiple occasions. Does not provide enough food for the kids to have a full portion or second helpings. Shows up late and leaves early almost every single day, and complains about doing her job constantly. Robyn will consistently brag about how much money she has and all the things she buys/ trips she goes on but wont give her employees raises or incentives to stay or offer healthcare benefits or any benefits really. If you are sick or have to call out she will shame you for it and show no sympathy or understanding, but allows her own daughter to call out whenever she feels like it. Will allow her favorite employees to accrue PTO but would cash out my PTO on almost every single paycheck to the point I had negative PTO hours. Robyn will make a set of rules for one classroom but certain people are exempt from those rules. She does not accommodate children that show signs of being on the spectrum or that may have a disability instead she will just kick them out of the center. Working here took a huge toll on my mental health, despite working extremely hard day after day I was never shown any gratitude or appreciation instead I was treated as the "less than" employee because I was simply not a part of her favorites. Even though I was considered a "lead teacher" I was not allowed to make any decisions about the classroom I worked in, had my ideas turned down, and was not recognized as a good employee ever. Robyn is an extremely greedy, selfish and unappreciative employer and expects this job to be your only priority when this business is not her priority in the slightest. She is the worst manager I have ever encountered in my entire life. I will sincerely miss the children I cared for but I will not miss working here, and do not recommend this place for employment at all for anyone.
