What parents say
Need better and more trained staff who are able to adequately care for children of all ages. Pictures were sent with staff hair on pacifier and child was laying on bare floor. Would not recommend
Kerby Appolon · 1/5 on Google · 6 months agoTiny Sprouts Playhouse is an absolute gem for families! The space is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed for kids to explore, learn, and have fun. The staff are warm, patient, and genuinely care about every child’s experience. My child always leaves with a big smile and can’t wait to go back. It’s the perfect blend of play and learning in a welcoming environment. Highly recommend to any parent in the area!
Soul Planet Recordz · 5/5 on Google · a year agoDo NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. Not worth the money. Tuition went from $280 to $350 in 5 months with no improvement. Most staff are very young (17 - 22 years old), not certified, not CPR/First Aid trained and have no education in early childhood or experience with kids who have developmental delays or are on the spectrum. If there was a medical emergency and one of the high school students were alone with your children…
ASHMAR · 1/5 on Google · 8 months agoI’m trying to be honest here. Tiny Sprouts isn’t the worst daycare, but there’s a lot they could fix. If the owners are closing another daycare and bringing over their old staff, they should tell new hires that ahead of time. It felt like the old staff were more important. I understand experience matters, but people really need stable hours. Also, there were high schoolers changing diapers, which seems like too much…
