We loved having our infant here! We always felt like she was taken care of and that the teachers really cared about her. The staff in the infant room is wonderful. I never noticed any issues with cleanliness and witnessed on multiple occasions the steps taken between babies at changing table. Sad to leave but you can’t beat family watching your baby. If need be I would re-enroll my child here.

If I could rate lower, I would. Tracy would NOT leave us our privacy and kept trying to see where my wife and I were during the day. She also talked down to me like I was a child. She also got upset when our kids had doctor appointments and blamed it on staffing why she was upset. She is NOT professional and the handbook alone says that with the multiple Grammer and spelling errors! Definitely do NOT recommend!

My children have all went to Little Learners from the time they were tiny babies until Kindergarten. They were all way ahead of most of their classmates when entering school. Ms. Lou’s preschool curriculum teaches them not only about colors, numbers, and reading, but about manners, how to be a good classmates, and other social-emotional topics that kids need so much in today’s society. It is such a caring and welcoming environment. My kids always came home excited to tell me about all of the day’s activities. I loved the small class sizes and how clean the rooms and toys are kept. The teachers genuinely care for kids and they help them reach many milestones. They have potty trained my three children, and I can’t thank them enough for that! The lead teachers in all 5 rooms have been there a long time and have gotten to know our family well. I’m so grateful I decided on Little Learners 9 years ago! Been there ever since:)

Your kids deserve better. Our kids went there for only about 5 months, and I feel like it was nothing but a headache. The owner is incredibly unprofessional, terrible at communication, and rude. I did really like most of the teachers, but they were understaffed and overworked. Didn’t seem like certain teachers were personable or really cared about the children. My older child was not excited to go there. Saw older kids making fun of others - teacher did not intervene. Heard teachers yelling at children, in a way that made me uncomfortable. There was so much turnover, as soon as the kids would get used to someone, they were gone and another person would start. The building is old and rundown with water damaged ceiling tiles, no AC, old heaters, and the infant room fridge was gross, can’t believe they made bottles in there. The infant changing table wasn’t cleaned and I saw spit up all over it while there - who knows what else . Didn’t seem like there was adequate cleaning as my kids were sick constantly - I know kids will get sick, but there wasn’t break in illness. Felt like I was home with them every week. Food provided was sad. Bologna, Hawaiian punch that they logged as “juice”, pb&j on hamburger buns or tortilla wraps, poptarts, donuts… I could go on. Hardly any fruits or veggies. Zero help with potty training, no conferences on how the kids were doing with development. No interactive learning stations or educational literature. This place is no more than a glorified sitter, at best. I could go on and on. The owner was ultimately the reason we left. We’ve since found an amazing daycare, and you truly get what you pay for. Spend the extra money and don’t waste it here.

Amazing teachers, amazing owner, amazing kids! As an employee, I can say this is a great place to work and a great place to enroll your children. With 5 different rooms for specific age groups (infants, toddlers, preschool, pre-k, and school-age) children get the education they need for their development at whatever age they may be. All staff is required to keep up to date on OCCRRA continuing education and lead teachers follow step up to quality lesson planning for their class. Teachers are given creative freedom with more than enough resources to make their classes successful! Children are given room to be creative, express themselves, develop at their own pace, and learn things outside of typical academics like emotional regulation and social skills while still staying on track academically. This daycare and preschool strictly follows daycare licensing rules and regulations! It is a very clean and safe environment for your children to grow. Overall this is a great place to work, and if you are looking for somewhere to enroll you children this is the place to go!!

Daycare is run down and owner only sees kids as a paycheck. She is caught up in the “old fashioned” way to take care of kids. Had an interview there a month ago and never coming back. The kids deserve better. Please do not send your kids here. Avoid it at all costs.

This submission to the Disgruntled Employee's Of Ohio Organization comes from a number of ex employee's of said business. The owner of this business has an associates degree in Early childhood education provided by Owens community college but she does not keep up to date with newer techniques in the childcare field. Instead remains in her feelings that the old ways are best, even though she knows nothing of child development. Children were reported as needing help from a professional source such as Help me grow to diagnose a child. Rather than taking this to heart they felt the child who clearly was on the Autism spectrum was just something that needed to be broken in and parents let them do whatever. Often, employee's would be subjugated to the owner berating employee's for issues they either could not handle on their own or refused to because it was outside of their responsibilities as a childcare worker. The owner does not see this childcare center as a childcare center, rather an unaccredited private school. This center has been open for around 20 years and has only achieved a One-Star Rating because the owner doesn't wish to do the paper work or follow the guidelines set forth by Step-Up to quality nor does the owner want outside programs such as Headstart to tell her how the classroom should be run to ensure the children have a real "head start" when the child begins Kindergarten.
