This place is a very poor place for kids to go. Floors are unsafe as my friend and their child almost fell through in a few places. My friend took child out of the daycare because they was always getting sick as well. They also treat some employees better than others and lie to their employees and cut hours from employees who have been there for years to give to new(personal favorite) employees. Do not take children here or work here. Tell anyone you know not to work here or enroll their children here. They let the kids in school run all over the younger ones and if teachers try to help developmentally challenged kids they get told they can't do that.
At first I liked this company then it all started to change. The bosses were nice at first. Then there was a fourth introduced. Then it all went down hill. All the bosses are not that great about something's but others are fine. Now they are expecting us to be the janitors. They lie to you about what is going on in the place. Most Employees are fine but certain ones are not. You have to be real careful who you talk to and who you trust. The floors are almost falling out in spots and nothing is happening. You don't get paid if they close because of weather. You're lucky you get paid for holidays. When they close for any reason you don't get paid. There is a week in December they close and employees don't get paid. It's so bosses can go on vacation. There are much more I could say but want to protect myself
Worked here for a few months this year at the beginning of the year. They allow so many people to call off and then have no one to cover breaks or lunches so a lot of the time no one was able to actually have a proper lunch and would have to wait until all kids were asleep to be able to eat. So I would be working 7:30am to 5:30pm without a lunch or even a proper lunch. Bg checks are questionable because they hired a woman who was arrested on a drug and alcohol charge a couple weeks after starting there. The kids are amazing but the environment and some of the staff are not. Staff would gossip and say negative things about others in front of children sometimes.
My children have been attending this facility since they opened almost 5 years ago. We love the staff and all three owners are easy to work with and care so much for the kids. They have became like family to us. My children love going to daycare and preschool and are learning so much. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of care they receive. I recommend them to everyone.
My daughter has been sick consistently since attending this place. Their charges are ridiculous give you no credit if your child can not attend. this is not a place you want your child to be.
Our children attended Little Rugrats ELC for over a year. (newborn and 2 year old) The owners refused to meet with us when there was an issue and said there was nothing to discuss. As parents, we have the right to meet with our childcare provider to discuss any issues, big or small. They also will not allow any therapist into the daycare so if your child needs OT, PT, or Speech, I would not suggest going with Little Rugrats. The daycare employees were great to work with.
