I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been attending MMR since he was 11 weeks old, now 5. I can not say enough good things about the center. My son is never sick. The communication with parents is thorough. And he seems to be well ahead of other kids his age academically. I would absolutely recommend MMR to anyone.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Little Meadows- MMR prep was a nightmare experience for my family. The owner and management are very nice, however the child care is absolutely awful. I enrolled my 1-year old son, and withdrew him after 2 months. While he was there I had a staff member leave him in a dirty diaper (BM) while he ate breakfast, as well as multiple accident reports. Chipped teeth, bloody noses- not just run of the mill bumps and bruises. The breaking point was when we watched a teacher pull our son to the ground by his arm. When we confronted the teacher, she claimed she needed to fix his shoe. Please do NOT pull my son to the ground... ever. They’re also very inconsistent with their developmental priorities. One day he’d be sitting at the table, the next in a high chair. Very frustrating. My son has since started at another daycare- and has not received a single accident report. MMR Prep claimed my son was clumsy- clearly he was just not being watched. Avoid this place like the plague!

2026-01-05 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.21/3270.119 - General Health and Safety/Infant sleep position Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.21/3270.119

Description: General Health and Safety/Infant sleep position

Noncompliance Area: Per interviews that was conducted during complaint investigation on 1/5/26, it was disclosed that a 5-month-old child was swaddled during a nap. The American Academy of Pediatrics states when an infant exhibits signs of attempting to roll, swaddling is no longer appropriate because it could increase the risk of suffocation if the swaddled infant rolls to the prone position.

Correction Required: Conditions at the facility may not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children. Infants shall be placed in the sleeping position recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics unless there is a medical reason an infant should not sleep in this position. The medical reason shall be documented in a statement signed by a physician, physician's assistant or CRNP and placed in the child's record at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The facility will not swaddle any children. Previously employed staff person put sleep sack on child that was parent provided. Staff person read manufacturer's instructions (on sleep sack) for use of velcro straps on sleep sack & sent picture to parent. Staff was immediately corrected of improper use of sleep sack as we could not use the velcro feature. The velcro sleep sack was sent home and a zipper only sleep sack was requested to be sent in and used for the remainder of child's enrollment.

Staff was removed from room and put into another room with another teacher on that date. Staff is always with another teacher in the toddler room as there are normally always two groups. However, on this date there were many absents and staff had own group.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Fire Drills were done on the 8th of the months every month- We did not realize it was 60 days instead of every two months. Fire drills will be done monthly going forward.
2024-08-06 Renewal 3270.95(a)/3270.95(b) - Devices must be compliant/Director or designated staff person ensure compliance Compliant - Finalized

The Director or designated staff person who is responsible for compliance with this chapter shall ensure the requirements under subsection (a) are met.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Fire alarm testing dates were done on the 8th of the months- We did not realize that testing needed to be done within 30 days. We also did the annual fire safety professional testing which was the OR on the fire drill log and were unaware that it would not count anymore. We did both and were unaware the "31" days would be an issue. We scheduled our next fire alarm testing for 8-30.

2020-09-28 Renewal 3270.32(a)/3270.192(4) - Comply with CPSL/CPSL information Compliant - Finalized

Noncompliance Area: A renewal inspection occurred at the facility and a review of staff files was conducted. The Child Protective Services Law(CPSL) was revised to include the requirement for the National Sex Offender Registry(NSOR) clearance effective 9/30/2019. The CPSL also states that anyone hired before 9/30/19 had until 7/1/20 to obtain this clearance. The following staff has been employed at the center before 9/30/19; Staff # 2. The amendments to the CPSL also eliminated the ability to hire staff on a provisional hire basis beginning 12/31/19. In order to continue hiring staff provisionally the legal entity was required to apply to the Department for a waiver. The legal entity did not receive the provisional hire waiver approval until 10/7/20. Staff # 3 was hired provisionally on 1/13/20 and the file did not contain an NSOR clearance until 1/14/20. The CPSL requires that mandated reporter training and clearances are updated every 60 months. Staff # 1 had mandated reporter training dated for 4/13/20 and Staff # 1 did not update the training until 4/28/20.

Correction Required: The operator shall comply with the CPSL and with Chapter 3490 (relating to protective services).A facility person's record shall include a copy of requests for the criminal history record and child abuse registry clearance information, a copy of the disclosure statement and a copy of the completed clearance information required under the CPSL. Facility Person # 2 and # 3 may not work in a child care position at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Staff were suspended until appropriate clearances were received. The legal entity indicated they were unaware provisional hire changes to the CPSL and has since been granted a waiver to hire staff provisionally. In the future staff will be hired as a provisional hire as appropriate to the CPSL. The legal entity indicated several requests were made to obtain the NSOR clearance for Staff # 2 without success. The NSOR was finally received 9/10/20. All staff in the future will be hired with all appropriate clearances per CPSL. Also in the future all clearances and mandated reporter training will be completed and updated as appropriate to CPSL.
