I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

While I was there touring the facility I found that it is a very clean enviroment and I liked how the doors are locked at all times. I did have an issue with the fact that while I was there I noticed that the teachers in the what I believe was the 2 yr old room was insisting that the children sit down and go over a lesson. My feeling is that children of that age should not have or need that much structure. I feel that letting them play and have a good time is the best thing for them they will have many years to have to sit and be attentive. I think that is something for people to think about before enrolling their child. Other than that I think that it was a good place.

Li'l Tykes does participate in child care subsidy programs. This is a large facility, but it still retains the feeling of home that you want for your child. Staff are loving and caring, and management is knowledgeable and focused on the care of the child. They diligently maintain State staff/child ratios too!
