I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I would give less than 1 star if possible.
The teachers are no where qualified to take care of children, they told me they could help with potty training and they did nothing to help, made it worse honestly. I have heard kids being yelled at and threaten to punish, they favor certain kids and don’t keep good watch over what they are doing. My son has come home cussing and yelling, telling me another child taught him these things and the teachers did nothing about it when I addressed it with them. They also refuse to allow children in even if you arrive at the time you have to be there, even if you have already paid for the week. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone, definitely NOT WORTH the $130 paid every week.

I recently enrolled my great nephew in academy for little people. From looking at there facebook page I thought this would be the perfect place. I am a homehealth nurse at night and the past couple of weeks have been with a new client and cant get him there in the mornings until 9am. They lock the doors at 8:45am regardless if you have paid for the week. I was very disappointed and sad because my great nephew really liked his teacher and she did him as well. He has been through alot over the past year being disrupted just as soon as he gets used to a certain situation. It breaks my heart that they have no more heart for a 3yr. Old little boy than that. They cant keep help and after meeting two of the owners I can understand why. Extremely disorganized and have no ratings on the BBB. When I went to pick up my little nephews belongings I told the 2 owners that I would be putting a review on facebook and I want you to know that they had removed there page temporarily. I believe that spells Guilty..
