"My 3-year-old attended this daycare for almost 3 months and in this time his behavior took a turn for the worst. First, we were excited about the engagement we had hoped my son would have, he came home with worksheets to practice writing and tracing, we loved that but unfortunately the screen time allowed in this facility is excessive and was creating issues with his sleep habits and ultimately his behavior at home was becoming challenging we believe to be due to the excessive screen time. During the tour we were told the screen in the room was for educational videos and for music to be played for the children to dance to and sing along with. The daily report provided that my son was watching Jack Hartman for teaching American sign language, but the exposure to screen time far exceeded this. My son was coming home stating he had watched cartoons like Cocomelon, chu chu tv, etc. During Halloween my son started to fear jack o lanterns from something they showed the kids, he was even shown the Michael Jackson thriller video which the teacher claims was an “accident” … after talking to the teacher to figure out what had happened, it became clear that they are just letting YouTube play the next videos without supervising what is being shown. We met with the Asst Director Ms Ashley and the Owner, Dr. Koshi (spelling?) and unfortunately our concerns fell on deaf ears. I wanted to know what the process was for picking these videos that are not educational and why parents aren’t being told what their kids are watching and why their daily report is providing false information on what my child is being exposed to. We even reported that on several occasions when picking up our son as the teachers were bringing the kids in from outside that the teachers were asking the kids what they wanted to watch, and kids were asking for spiderman and frozen etc. On several occasions the screen was moved to a corner so that the parents couldn’t see what was being shown. During thanksgiving they showed the movie the Wild robot without letting parents know this was going to be shown, the film is rated PG. They also showed them how the Grinch stole Christmas the Jim Carrey film which is also PG. I was never consulted or made aware about what my son would be watching or had watched. The use of the screens and the way the administration handled our concerns is very shady, for the price you pay for childcare and with their claims to be an educational facility to prepare children for school I do not trust that they are a good option for families that care about the quality of care and learning. Editting to add I did not create profiles to add additional reviews. This same review is also posted from my accounts on yelp, Facebook and on Nextdoor. The Parker’s household is also my husbands email. And your policy is two week notice to pull him out and that was the soonest I was able to. Thanks."

"Our family loves Little Explorers Daycare! Mrs. Maria has provided the best care to our two children when we have needed her services. She is flexible, caring, communicative, and simply wonderful with all the children. She will put your mind at ease with updates and pictures so you know your kids are doing great. Our kids thrived in the enviornment created by Mrs. Maria and her team enabling them to grow developmentally and socially. My son who is now in Kindergarten learned so much from the activities provided to him and often talks about Mrs. Maria and the rest of the kids. I can't say enough great things about this daycare, simply put your children will be in great hands :)"

"This two weeks off over Christmas and new year is crazy. It’s been very tough this year and hard on our family. I understand folks want time off around Christmas but no other daycare is doing two weeks. It’s cost us badly this year."

"Come here for a specific reason and that's for coming together with others battling through addiction. I appreciate the church opening up their door's for us and others in our community."
