Both of my kids went to this daycare from the age of 9 months until they started school. I really trust them — it’s a very good daycare. You can see that the owner has a good heart, and we always felt our kids were safe there. My son even had his favorite teacher here; he’s in school now but still talks about her often.

I’m so glad I found this daycare! Everyone who works here knows my son’s name and they’re all so great with him. When he first started, I was so surprised at how quickly he got comfortable and adjusted. The care and attention they give really shows, you can tell the safety of the children is a top priority and that the staff truly love what they do. I couldn’t be happier with our experience here! I love the fun activities they do with the kids and pictures and videos alway brightens my day to know he is in safe hands.

I am so happy that my children are at Little Munchkins. My little girl is two years old and receives so much love and learning throughout the day. Her teachers even do her hair, and she looks so clean and beautiful every day. So I would like to thank Miss Stephanie and Miss Isabella for taking care of her. She has only spent a short time with Miss Dolly and Miss Stella, but she still calls them by their names "Dolly, Dolly". “Stella, Stella” . My oldest son is five years old and receives more lifestyle guidance from Miss Esther, and I really appreciate her. It is a very professional nursery. I highly recommend Little Munchkins 😎🤩. All of the teachers are lovely and respectful.

I’ve been bringing my child here since Dec 2023. All the teachers have been kind and loving towards the baby. He’s grown and learned so much here. From sign language to songs, to saying some words. They always change his diaper on time he has never came home with a diaper rash. The baby shows allot of love and recognition to the teachers. I really love how they have treated and handled my child’s growth here. Never had a problem with any staff, they have always treated me with respect and kindness.

I GIVE THIS FACILITY EVERY BIT OF 0 STARS IF THE OPTION WAS AVAILABLE ! PARENTS THAT CARE ABOUT SANITATION AND IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR PLEASE BEWARE !!!!!!! THANK GOD FOR SCREENSHOTS !!!!! My son started attending Little Munchkins Daycare on Monday, May 5th. Right away, I had an uneasy feeling. As we walked into his classroom on his first day, I overheard one of his classmates say that my son and another African American child “looked the same.” Although we all know children are children, I noticed immediately they were the only two children of color in the class. As a mother of a Black child, that moment stuck with me. The very next day, Tuesday, May 6th, after picking up my son from daycare, I noticed he had ringworm. I was taken back and kind of disgusted but not quite surprised. The daycare doesn’t feel or look clean. It has a lingering musty smell, and although I’d often see a staff member vacuuming when I arrived for pickup, it didn’t give me much confidence in their sanitation practices. I called my son's doctor, who couldn't see him in person until May 15th but confirmed it was ringworm and advised he stay home for 48 hours while starting antibiotics. His first week of school, and he’s already coming home with an infection. Out of concern, I began looking into the facility’s health records and found a violation from February 24, 2023 specifically, 746.3401(a) for failing to complete their annual sanitation inspection. The last one on record was from December 15, 2021. That speaks volumes. This isn’t just an old problem it’s an ongoing one. THAT WAS JUST WEEK 1 On Friday, May 9th, when my son returned to school, he handed me a Mother’s Day card and I was genuinely excited. I always look forward to the sweet crafts my children make, I keep them forever. But when I looked at the card, my heart dropped. The handprint holding the flowers on the card was clearly from a child with much lighter skin. It didn’t reflect my child or our family at all. It made me emotional because representation matters especially at this age when kids are just beginning to understand themselves and how they show up in the world. I sent a message about it through the Procare app but never received a response. The following Monday, after Mother’s Day, I did receive an in-person apology from his teacher. And while that may seem small to some, it wasn’t small to me. Things like this carry weight especially for young children learning to navigate identity and self-worth. That moment only confirmed for me what I was already feeling: my child wasn’t in a space where he was truly seen, valued, or welcomed. Sanitation and inclusion are two of my highest priorities when it comes to child care. After everything we had experienced, I gave my two-week notice on Monday, May 12th. His last day would be yesterday May 26th but since it was a holiday it would be Friday, May 23rd. But unfortunately, the issues didn’t stop there. The following week, I picked my son up and noticed he was sitting alone while the other kids played on the other side of the carpet. As I approached, I heard the teacher say, “How would you guys like it if someone said they didn’t want to be your friend?” I didn’t say much in that moment, but on the ride home, my son opened up to me telling me how no one wanted to read with him and how it made him feel. He’s not disruptive or a behavior issue. He’s just a kid trying to connect. I gave him a little life talk about friendships that not everyone will be your friend, and that’s okay, just as we won’t always choose to be friends with everyone. But it broke my heart that he felt the need to explain that to me, at four years old. CONTINUED ....
