When we enrolled our son and daughter there, the place was a warm and caring environment. It has since taken a turn for the worse. The center is now run by the same woman that headed up Salter College(which was hit with a 3.75 million fine for deceptive business practices by the state AG office during her tenure). Needless to say, that trend has now continued. After paying the center, in advance, for care until 12/15, the center director decided that she would not only ask for more money than her own statements said we owed, but she also decided to change the rules governing types of payment that she would take. I could go on about how they«promoted» my son out of the infant room into the«tweener» room(at a lower charge) and then proceeded to continue to charge me the infant rate for months. Only after continually asking them about it did they retroactively credit our account to the tune of more than $ 500. Do your kids a favor. Send them elsewhere.

I have had my son at Tiny Treasures since he was one. He has moved through all phases of the program, infant, toddler«tweeners», and preschool. He entered the program barely able to walk and at 3.9 years of age, he can identify all letters and sounds, count to over 50 without errors, write many family members names, and is beginning to read simple sentences. He is well spoken and able to articulate his feelings. He has built strong friendships and social skills as well. I find the staff at the center to be experts in their field, caring(when my son went through a yellow phase, they bought him special yellow cups to drink from), and extremely family orientated. They offer monthly family nights where we can get together with the families of the center to meet and mingle. References were made to student teacher ratio in a prior post. I find this information to be in error. My son is never left with less than 2 adults at all times, often during drop ins I observe 3 – 4 staff members working in any given area. The reference to the stare case is also flawed. Yes their is a wooden stair case on the side of the building, but the door that allows access to it is locked and alarmed. I find the building to be beyond secure and safe. I find comfort sending my son to this center because it is more like an extended family than a school. I have nothing but praise to rain on Tiny Treasures and would recommend anyone seeking child care seriously consider this as a viable option.
