Tiny Blocks Preschool

I called to get more information about this day care and the staff member are extremely rude and unkind nasty talking. I was hung up on after being put on hold multiple times because the original lady I spoke with needed to ask another staff member the answer to my question, so another lady returned on the phone and hung up on me I called back in to tell her that was rude to do and she did it again. If they don’t care about the parents what makes you think these staff will care for your child ??? Think about this before placing your child here. Very upsetting and highly unprofessional

My son went there for about 2 years. It’s a great school. My son graduated a few months ago from Tiny Blocks and started elementary school. He’s principal called to see how he was doing. I thought that was a very sweet gesture. Shows how much they care at Tiny Blocks.

Ran into numerous issues with this prek/​vpk provider: language barrier, high student to teacher ratio, bullying, lack of organization, lack of communication.
Did a fair amount of time on researching and ran into a frustrated parent similar to myself:
«If your kid is smart, energetic, curious, and not submissive, he/​she will have problems here.
My 2 yr old was kicked out of here because he was „defiant“ and „unpredictable“. The director recommended me to a child psychologist that obviously has a relationship with the facility. She charged me more than $ 1000 to tell me that my kid won’t sit in a circle and listen to a story and that his desire to climb, move, explore, jump, push, etc was abnormal for a 2 yr old boy.
I subsequently took him to a recommended neurologist and had him evaluated by a state sponsored early intervention. They both said that he is completely normal developmentally and that he is intellectually and linguistically advanced for his age. They both said that the „circle time“ was boring for him and completely normal for him to want to avoid that. The neurologist actually verbalized his disgust that the daycare recommended that we consult a child psychologist and suggested to us that the problem is with the daycare and not out child.
We subsequently put him in a daycare that is far less fancy, far less elite, and almost half the price. It’s smaller, but this means the supervision and redirection and more immediate. In addition, they do „time-​out“ which discovery refused to do. His happiness, anxiety, and behavior changes are profound.
I feel so guilty as a parent for allowing my child to be a „target“ at Discovery for as long as I did. As a new parent, I assumed they were experts and knew more than I did. I should have listened to my intuition. The medical expert consultations confirmed that Discovery was completely wrong. In our search for a new daycare, we learned that the other daycares in the area are familiar with our story and the practices of Discovery’s inability or unwillingness to deal with kids with high energy.
They are interested only in maintaining an environment and an image that allows them to charge a premium. They want slow, low energy kids that will sit still and make the classroom look like an organized, controlled environment. This is 2 yr olds we’re talking about. Do your homework and know your kid. If he/​she is smart, curious, energetic, independent, etc. LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!»
Lesson learned after discussing my issues with this parent and Professionals, I removed my child from this school and is now at a Montissori school in the area.

My daughter attended this preschool for the past two years and the staff and Director was wonderful. The Director will work closely with your child to make sure they are on track and the correct level of learning for their age group. I highly recommend this preschool!

Tiny Blocks is a great school, the teachers are caring and loving, the classrooms are new and clean. It is also reasonably priced.
My daughter attended VPK full time and this is by far the best school she attended.
