I have used this provider for more than 6 months

It has been a joy to have our children attend Tiny Treasures of Grace! It is amazing how much they have learned and had fun doing it. We love the staff. We love the program. And our kids love it. They get great homemade food. Lots of love and encouragement. You can tell this ministry cares about kids. We are blessed to have them in the community!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

1 star isn't even low enough. When my daughter went there inappropriate things were said to my daughter and when i brought it up to the owner she was adamant that no one in her facility would say such a thing to a child. She didn't want to do anything about it and lied about following up with any of the workers. And she just fired 4 employees for voicing their opinion about the facility not taking proper precautions during covid-19. All the owner cares about it bringing in money. she doesn't care for the staff and especially not the children.

Unfortunately, this review is not factually accurate on many points and was written by an individual whose child was here, and fine in care, until the parent's mother who worked her was let go from work due to her conflict with other workers. The ministry is not about "bringing in money" and the ministry has not adjusted rates in two years during some of the toughest and most challenging times of Covid-19. We seek to provide a service to the community, help meet the needs of families, and have done so for the past six years.
