I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My 5 grandchildren have been going to tiny toys for 3 years. They all come home happy and with art that makes them proud of them selves.
When there sick they send them home to protect the other kids.
When they get hurt they fill out an accident report of call, depending on how serious.
I go to work each day with no worry or concern. It's a blessing to find people who truly care. My grandkids are loved at Tiny Tots. They are excited each to day to go to school.
The staff and teachers go above and beyond each day.
