We've had a really good experience at Doodlebugs. Curriculum is helpful for our son under 1, which includes benchmarks and activities for us to try at home. The staff here is always pleasant and nuturing. Thank you Doodlebugs🩷

Our kids have been at Doodle Bugs! for about two and a half years, and we have nothing but great things to say about it. The teachers, staff, and facilities are all wonderful. They have structured days such as meal times, circle and reading time, art and creativity time, nap time, etc. They also have fun sessions such as music rocks and Tae Kwon Do. Every day our daughter says that she can't wait to go back and see her teachers and friends. We are so thankful that our kids are in great hands there!

We love Doodlebugs! My daughter started in the preschool program and is now in a pre-K room. The variety of activities for the kids is fantastic, the staff are so friendly and she has loved all her teachers, facility is very nice and clean. She looks forward to going every day, and some days I have a hard time getting her to leave. So grateful we found them!

Bringing our son to Doodle Bugs! in McCandless has been one of the best decisions! The teachers have all been so wonderful and caring, I can’t say enough good things about them all! & management is always so kind and helpful. I would undoubtedly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare options.

(Miss Melissa McCandless Doodle Bugs) Connor says "I like that she tells other kids not to take what I'm playing with. She helps to train me to listen." Miss Melissa took the time to tell me one day, without being asked, how great Connor is, that he plays with everyone so well! It made me feel really good! Connor never complains about having to go to school, he really enjoys being in her clas

I regret to say that my experience with Doodle Bugs was deeply disappointing. While I had high hopes based on their reputed curriculum and facilities, the reality was a stark contrast.Firstly, the level of cleanliness left much to be desired. Toys and play areas were not only untidy but appeared unsanitary, which is alarming during these times when cleanliness should be paramount.Moreover, the staff-to-child ratio was not as advertised. The caregivers were overwhelmed, unable to provide the necessary individual attention or adequately supervise the children. This not only hampers the developmental activities they purport to offer but also raises safety concerns.Additionally, the outdoor play area, which is a significant aspect of a child's development, was poorly maintained. The safety fencing around the outdoor playground was constructed poorly as children could easily move between the bars. The outdoor area could potentially endanger the children.The most unsettling aspect, however, was the interaction between the staff and the children. The environment lacked warmth and the interactions seemed perfunctory at best. There was a lack of patience and nurturing that one would expect in a childcare setting.In conclusion, I cannot recommend Doogle Bugs. I would urge the management to take immediate steps to address these issues for the wellbeing of the children entrusted to their care.

We had a wonderful couple of years at Doodle Bugs! Our kids were always happy to go to daycare and summer camp. My oldest would actually ask to go there on days when his school was closed so he could see his friends and take part in activities. The staff was also very welcoming and accommodating.

We have had many wonderful teachers and staff at doodlebugs. They care so much about our children that made it so much easier for us as parents to leave our kids there every day. Our kids get excited to go and learn what they need to prepare for kindergarten. We would recommend this to anyone looking for childcare!

Worth every penny. This is a great team led by a great director. Our kids love it here and we have peace of mind knowing our kids are safe, learning, and developing necessary skills early. The teachers here are really good too! We highly recommend Doodle Bugs!

I never worry about my girls when they're at Doodlebugs which means the world! I know their teachers are giving them lots of love & attention, as well as providing fun activities that encourage their learning and social development.
