It's A Small World

I dread dropping my kids off here everyday. LuAnn, I think she is the owner, is to put it politely, an unpleasant woman to deal with. I have felt since day one that she has looked down her nose at me, nagged me about everything, and treated me like she didn't want me to bring my kids there. For example, I'm walking towards the book to sign them in like I do everyday, and she frequently reminds me to sign them in with an attitude. I don't know if she thinks I'm a disobedient child who might try to sneak out without signing them in or if she thinks I'm stupid. I have even asked her, 'do i ever not sign them in?' and she still acts like I'm not going to and seems annoyed. I have felt that on a few occasions when the kids act up, the discipline is kinda hateful and negative instead of positive. If my kids had emotional or discipline issues I would pull them out ASAP. A couple of the teachers are awesome, but certainly not all. Compared to food at previous daycares, I feel Small Worl more

I actually went there from the age 3-6. I never had a problem there, and everyone was very nice. I always looked forward to going. As far as being in trouble and "time-out" I always thought my punishment was reasonable. They are very loving and caring people. It doesn't kill a child to have some discipline every once in a while, and that is usually the complaint I hear, which the only discipline I ever saw was "time-out" or from a parent. I became very mature after going there. I thought it was a very good experience more

I can honestly say that I cannot imagine taking my kid anywhere else. He loves the teachers and I love the care they provide. I can leave him and not worry about a thing because I know that he is being well taken care of and happy. more

The previous review sounds like there were many factors involved and I would never want to only look at one side of a coin... That being said, all of my children have attended It's A Small World and they all love it there! I feel safe and comfortable in the loving environment they provide. Actually, there is absolutely no other place that I would send my children. The people there are honest, caring, and very helpful. more

If you have a child with high-energy or behavioral issues to be addressed DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE. We were up front with them about our son being in therapy, told them how to handle situations and they chose to do things their own way, which sabotaged everything we were trying to do...over the entire summer! When I asked how he behaved I was told "he'd had a good day", when he hadn't had a good day. When I asked why they hadn't told me all along that he was behaving badly I was told "because we know that sometimes parents don't want to know that their child was bad." THEY CERTAINLY DO WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY ASK!\r \r I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS DAY CARE TO ANYONE! Especially not after how they spoke to my husband when he went to get a refund after they told us our son would have to go elsewhere. These people were totally unprofessional!!\r \r Edited: We have now had our son at Kids Clubhouse at German corner for nearly a year and he's thriving there. No more "I'm sick" in order more
