The Tot Spot

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how very much we have appreciated have you to provide childcare for our two sons. It's hard to believe that we have been bringing our sons here for three years, time flies... We moved here 3 years ago from our to state and had no idea who we could depend on for day care. We decided to try toy and rest is history. Our sons have always loved coming to Tot Spot. I'm quite certain that Miss Barb has had a big hand in them wanting to come here. She has been a wonderful caregiver and teacher to our boys and feels nurtured along the way. We will miss her. All the teachers and aides are top of the line. Miss Melissa, Mr. Tyler, Miss Donna, Miss Andrea, Miss Mandy, Mr. Ken and Miss Cindy (to name a few) have all been so wonderful with out boys. I never worried about the care they would get at Tot Spot because they were always treated like they belonged there. They felt safe with every teacher they ever had. You made us feel like family and we thank you for that. The older boy finished UPK at Tot Spot last year and he is excelling in all areas of the curriculum in kindergarten this year. I'm certain that Tot Spot's teachers encouraged his enthusiasm for learning. The younger son is finishing UPK with you this year and we feel more than confident that he is ready for kindergarten next year. It will be hard to get him away from Miss Barb and Miss Melissa because he enjoys them so much. I also have to mention what a fabulous cook Miss Karen is. She gets the boys to try foods and like them! How does she do that? We'll miss her cooking, positive attitude and warm temperament. Miss Carrie and Miss Rhonda are exceptional at the way they handle the office and day-to-day tasks. They are always ready and happy to assist me with whatever I need from them. I cannot express in words how much you're appreciated and how much we’ll miss you. Being a stay at home Mom, it makes me sad to say that the boys probably won't be at Tot Spot much after this year. So, Thank yo more

A HUGE Thank You to Tot Spot and the following staff: Mary, Janet, Mindy, Donna, Bard, Cindy, Wendy M., Nikki, Marcia, Karen, and Carrie! All of you played very important parts in the care, love and understanding of our son's life and ours until he has reaches this milestone of leaving Tot Spot and off to school. We are so very thankful to all the staff that took care of Nic and went above and beyond their jobs in doing so. We could no have asked for a better place and people to watch over Nic. To those of you that had to endure some difficult behavior; we are very sorry and hope you can forgive his personality. Nic will be opening a new chapter in his life and he will take with him all the best that each of you have instilled in him. Nic can stay awake to eat lunch now thanks to Mindy; he also uses please and thank you's thanks to Donna; hopefully the school cooks like Karen or Nic will be disappointed; and Callie will always be Nic's 1st love and his first heartbreaker! I seem to think Nic will be a heartbreaker himself thanks to Carrie! We will miss all of you! Barb- you endured the most with Nic and words can't describe how thankful we are to you for all of your understanding, patience and love for Nic. You truly are a gifted person and the children in your care are very fortunate. I think Nic used every trick in the book with you but you would chuckle and keep trying to overcome his challenges with being two steps ahead of him all the time (It's too late Barb!) Thank you so much for going above and beyond- you are a special person and we appreciated you very much! Mark and Wendy- Thank you so much for offering a great facility where people can trust bringing their children and having a peace of mind- keep up the great work. Thanks to all at the Tot Spot- Ontario!!! more

After over 7 wonderful years of having Sarah attend Tot Spot in Macedon, we have come to crossroads at which we have made the difficult decision to move our daughter, Sarah, to a private daycare setting in order to maintain her 1:1 care status. This letter is to provide you with our 2 weeks' notice. Sarah's last day at Tot Spot will be Friday, November 8th. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support over the 7-year period. We are so very grateful for the high level of care and professionalism exhibited by the staff for Sarah and her special needs. There has been nothing more reassuring for us than to be able to place our confidence in your staff and know that Sarah would be welcome, happy, and comfortable at Tot Spot. She truly enjoys her routine and is happy to arrive and see familiar, smiling faces each day. She (and we!) have made many friends and will miss seeing everyone so frequently. Thank you both for maintaining such a great program. As I've told you in the past, your facility is always the one I recommend to friends seeking daycare. Continue the great work - there's no place out there like Tot Spot! more

It is with mixed emotions that I inform you that Lyta will be leaving your care as of the 28th of August. Since she will be in kindergarten every day It just seems that daycare won't be required. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the fine care she has received, not to mention your assistance and flexibility during some tough times in our lives. The staff has always been kind, considerate and caring. Lyta has learned much at being at your center and has made many friends, some of whom are children. I'd especially like to thank Bill Duncan for his work in preparing Lyta for school. She may even know too much! Should we ever need daycare for Lyra again we will come straight to you. Much luck in the future. more

I've been with this center for several years and find the front staff to be very helpful and kind. Teachers are always meeting and greeting and the programs that they offer the kids love and have a great time with. My son has made several new friends since starting child care and cant stop talking about the amazing field trips they offer. more

Good: Very few of the teachers. Bad: They have 2 very awful teachers in the 4 year old room. Multiple complaints about them from parents. They yell at the children and unless they like your child your child is treated like crap. Improvements: they need to get rid of the director and a few of the teachers in order to have that place run properly. Other: I pulled my child because i highly disliked the teachers in the upper class rooms. The children are treated like crap and they lost 2 of their good teachers due to them not being liked by the boss. Dont send your children here!. more

This is a very poorly run preschool. My son attended this school for two months before I said enough is enough. When I registered my son I was told that there was a curriculum that needed to be followed and that it was a four year old class. I was also told that there would be two teachers in the room. I found my son outdoors and unattended on two different occasions. There were also three year olds in his class with one teacher. There was a curriculum but the teacher did not make the children follow it. I feel that this facility is very misleading in the program they have to offer and I would not recommend them to anyone. more
