I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I am so happy with this school, my child is learning so much and loves coming to school each day. I am amazed at how much she has learned. The school is clean and my daughter has even started picking up her toys at home because of the structure at the school. With everything included (food) it makes life so much easier. My daughter eats food at school that she would never eat at home. Bravo Tiny Tiki's!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I was hesitant at first to bring my daughter to Tiny Tiki after hear a few bad comments. I decided to check the place out for myself after looking at a few daycare's. The staff was about to leave when I walked in for a holiday break over the summer, but Ms. Donna welcomed me in to show me around. I was impressed with how clean each of the rooms were. They have hard wood floors throughout with the occasional area rug for children to sit and play or read. Each child has their own hook for their coats and backpacks. The infant room as a dedicated location for each child's belongings (Diapers, cups, snack, pacifiers, etc.) They have an outside location for the children to play during the warm weather. In the summer they do water play. Once a week the music teacher comes in and the kids have a blast. Tiny Tiki is a fun place to be.
After a short discussion with my husband we decided to bring our daughter here. Day one was rough for me to leave my daughter at 3 months old, but Ms. Donna was quick to send me pictures of how happy she was throughout the day.
Over a year later I can honestly say choosing Tiny Tiki was the best decision. My daughter is so happy to go to day care each day. She knows all the teachers and can say their names at almost 2 yrs old. They all care for each of the children as their own. There are even times when she cries because she doesn't want to leave. I never worry about her being there all day while my husband and I are at work.
Keep up the great work! Thumbs up to Ms. Donna for running such a great school.

Love this school! 2016-01-05 19:31:39
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter has been attending this school for many years and I love this school and so does she. My family is in the education field and we are all very pleased with what she is learning. She loves school and her teachers. She is very happy. The school is very clean and the staff is very caring towards the students. It is a shame that disgruntle employees are permitted to write on the internet and hurt a good business...shame on them...I just love this school and so will you.

Very happy mom 2013-02-13 21:00:33

My child has attended this school for 4 years and I have never been happier with a school. I have done a lot of research and visited every school in the area before placing my child in anyone's care. Tiny Tiki's has so much to offer the students and the staff is wonderful. My son is learning so much and he loves going to school. I am very pleased with my decision and in 4 years have never had one complaint or concern.

I walked in to see the setting and inquire about rates and I was met by a "teacher" yelling at a pre-schooler about not following rules. Her demeanor completely changed when the person who was showing me around let her know there was someone visiting.  I walked out and immediately threw the folder I was given directly into the garbage. If the parent to the little boy who got yelled at reads this, get your child out!
