First off, the positive reviews on here are not from legit families. We knew most of the families and the negative ones are parents we actually knew from the daycare. Little Stars is Horrible horrible horrible. This place isn’t just neglectful but DANGEROUS. We had our boys in this daycare for about a year. Initially, before we enrolled our oldest (5 yrs) in daycare there, they promised that he’d be able to read by the time he left. Not once did they read to him nor did he come home with a worksheet of some sort they did during the day. They will sit your child in front of a TV for 8-10hrs straight and bark at them if they get out of their chairs. We had our son even ask the teacher if he could do a worksheet or study his numbers and they told him no. Our sons first teacher was open with her use of drugs on Twitter and would post throughout the day while our child was under their care. She also dated the directors son (conflict of interest.) They don’t drug test or checks on their employees. We had several teachers after that come through that we were never introduced to. If their infant teacher called out sick they’d pile all the kids in 1 room under the supervision of just 1 teacher. We have seen their ex employees messages moms after they quit saying the director has forced them to fabricate incident reports. Once they realized parents where catching on to their malpractice they started eliminating our abilities to drop kids off inside. We had to take them to the door but we couldn’t see what’s going on inside, same goes for pick up. They used COVID as an umbrella excuse for that. Our oldest son said that the teachers will play unedited rap music in the room with the kids. By the time we had enough, my wife put in her two week notice for work, we paid the daycare 2 weeks of tuition then gave them the notice that we’d be pulling the boys out in 2 weeks. They became infuriated and told us the boys could no longer come back to daycare, forcing us to find additional care for the 2 weeks that my wife still had to work. Then they refused to refund the 2 weeks we paid them after they denied our children care. My wife went to pick up the boys belongings at school the next morning and the director ordered her to leave the premises and that she’d Uber the stuff to us. A week later they show up to my wife’s work out of random and drop off the boys stuff. This place is an absolute disaster. The director and her sister are extremely deceptive and sociopathic. Literally take your kids anywhere else or bite the bullet and have your spouse stay at home with the kids.
Little Stars CDC should be ashamed of themselves and the way they handle situations. The campus is located at a church and they claim to serve and honor God, but their actions are anything but Godly. My daughter attended this center for over 2 years until I could find a replacement childcare facility (which we love!). In that time, she and other friends were "diagnosed" with learning disabilities by the directors (neither of which are doctors or have the authority to do so); the directors would gossip about other children and their parents to other parents (no confidentiality whatsoever, not to mention very un-Christian!); upon removal of my daughter from their program based on COVID-19, I paid a full month's tuition and she never attended, when I finally decided to pull her out all together, they told me I had to pay a 2-week cancellation fee. In my case and in others', they have proven to be all about the money, and not about the children or serving the Lord. My daughter is now scared to get baptized because they told her there were piranhas in the baptismal pool-when I brought this to their attention, they brushed it off and refused to demonstrate a proper baptism and it's meaning-again, not very Christ-like. This has been a very difficult year for everyone. Everyone is having to make very difficult decisions in regards to work-life balance and making the right choices to keep their families healthy and safe. Instead of sympathizing with parents, they take it personally and become vindictive-threatening restraining orders on parents who want to come pick up their child's belongings and using God as the scapegoat. They are under investigation by the state. Save yourself the time, money, and drama, and enroll your child anywhere else.
DO NOT take your children there! I was enrolling my almost three year old there because nothing else was open at the time. I felt so uneasy when I checked the place out. Kids were being unmonitored, hitting each other with large toys, it was chaos. The excuse was both teachers were out that day. Something in my gut told me not to take my son there and after registering him I quickly unregistered him. Six months later I FINALLY got my money back they owed me for paying tuition early. While visiting during open hours a three year old girl was being YELLED at and talked to like a dog and the girl was screaming and having a meltdown and the teacher kept YELLING at her. Once she saw someone was visiting she quickly changed her tone. Never in my life Have I felt so sick to my stomach that I almost put my child in their care. All they care about is MONEY, they are not trained to run a child care and how this place is still open beats me.
If anyone knows if this daycare is worth using or not it would be me. I be been bringing my kids here for 4 years. They are consistently professional, caring, compassionate, organized. And my daughter whose been coming since 6 weeks old now 3 yrs old. She walks in there like she's the queen of the world. She loves her care takers. And her friends. When I pick her up she's in a great mood and her hair is freshly in place,hands and face are clean. I'm so pleased with little stars. I'm glad to pay for my baby's happiness!
DO NOT use this daycare! The directors are horribly unprofessional. It is all business to them. They are dishonest and broke several state guidelines while my child was there. Check the state website. I cannot believe such a facility is still in operation. We have been so happy since leaving, and I would never recommend anyone place their child in their "care". Unless you are one of the parents they kiss up to and treat their children differently.
I put my twins in this daycare for four days and that was enough! I was so excited for them to go there because they had a Spanish immersion program and it seemed so wonderful. My children were very sick and were only able to attend four days and in these four days my children were coming home with severe bites and scratches. The FIRST day, my son was bit on the face and my daughter was bit on the shoulder. When I went to pick them up, one of the directors tried to minimize it by saying, "oh it was their initiation day." REALLY?! They were 11 months old! They agreed to call me if anything like this happened to them again. My big mistake was taking them back the next day. My babies came home with new scratches on their legs, face, etc. When I brought it to the "teacher's" attention, she said it must have happened at home. My children are attached to me from the time they come home to the time the go to bed so I'm well aware of what scratches they have on their bodies. The last day that they were there my daughter was bit on her face so badly that the whole left side of her face was swollen and purple. Her class only had 8 kids in it and I understand that watching that many kids is difficult but with the severity of the bite, I could tell that they just weren't being watched. There is NO way a child would be able to bite another that deeply with an adult actually in the room. Now my daughter has a permanent scar on her face thanks to this lovely facility. Thanks for nothing.
My children have gone there for four years and I can only say the greatest things about this daycare. The directors and assistant directors are wonderful and care about my children like they were their own. The teachers are patient and kind. I have never seen any of the children mistreated or neglected and I check on my kids often and at random times. My eldest daughter will be going to kindergarten this fall and she is already on a first grade level. They have also taught her responsibility that most daycare never would do. I have suggested this daycare to everyone and the parents that have put their children in this daycare are beyond pleased. They are always on time and never break the child/teacher ratio. The main problem with people who give negative reviews is the fact that they don't take the time to check on their children or care to involve themselves. This daycare is a blessing and I am so blessed to have these wonderful people help me raise my children.
I took my grandkids there for two days! Believe me that was enough to see they do not care about the kids and are not trained in any way shape or from to be with children. My grandkids ages two and three cried and begged me not to take them back. Said teacher was mean and yelled and made them eat peanut butter and water for lunch. They hate peanut butter but were told eat it or do without. I took them the second day and came back early and listened in. Everything my grandkids told me was absolutely true. I was so upset that I trusted these people with the care of these children. I took them home and never went back. These people act so sweet and Christian like till they get your money and don't know your listening in. They are phonies. Drop in unexpected and listen in. My grandkids are in a wonderful Christian daycare with real caring loving teachers. They love it and look forward to going! I would highly recommend Lifehouse Kids. Thank God for Lifehouse Kids Daycare and the staff. I would rate Little Stars LESS than one star if it were an option!!
Do not take your child there! please! my son was emrolled there for a year and i hated it! at first they seem nice and friendly and the facility seems clean and inviting! but once you are enrolled its horrible! every week the electricty would be off when your dropping off your kid! it happend so often that i actually had to pick up my son twice because it never came back on and the couldnt cook lunch for the kids! I would hear the teachers yelling at the kids when i walked in the front door(40ft from the rooms) while the door was closed! One teacher even threatned to yell at one of the students(even though her voice was already raised) and the student sat down real quick as if she knew what was coming. My husband saw one of the teachers yank my sons sippy cup from his hand and yell at him "no, no more for you"...but once she saw my husband, she quickly filled it up and said here you go. They are not friendly and only want your money. My son was sick the day tuition was due and instead of calling to check on him they called to ask about thier money! the expect you to pay early some months and pay for a whole week in july that they are taking off. so you have to pay them and then pay someone to actually watch your child for a whole week! AND THE Teachers dont even get paid for that week! Some of them dress like that are going to the club in high heel stilettos and others come to work in their nightgown! When the kids have thier "free playtime" they have to sit in one spot of the room away from the other kids and play with one toy only! i walked in on a teacher yelling at a kid to sit back down because she had gotten up to go th the bathroom! Not only do they not care about the kids, but they are one of the most expensive places to put your child! The hours say they open at 7:30 but be prepared to wait because they are never there on time! For the year that my son was there, he had over 6 different teachers! they were constantly leaving! wheni turned in my 2weeks notice i told his current teacher that they did alot of stuff here that i didnt agree with..then she told me (her beigh a mom and a teacher there) she tols me "yeah they do alot of stuff here i dont agree with"..please please please do not pur your kids in the care of the people!
This is an outstanding center and I would go as far as saying that there isnt a center anywhere that can compare to them. They are professional, caring, well trained, clean, compssionate and treat each and every child as if they were their own. The owners are always available and willing to work with parents to meet their specific needs. I have visited daycares/child development centers in Midland and Odessa and when I went to Little Stars they stood out in every way. I highly recommend this center and wouldnt have my children anywhere else.
This place is HORRIBLE. Do not bring your children to this place. They randomly take vacations (whereby parents are forced to find alternative care for their kids), are routinely late opening (they claim they open at 7:30am but often do not even arrive until 7:45), the owners are passive aggressive with parents, and they often break the child/teacher ratio laws set forth for child protection. Stay far far away!!!
