Little Geniuses Preschool/Pre-K/Nursery School

Bro this owner tho. calling people the worst mothers ever I was looking into daycares why would anybody come here while the owner is being disgustingly unprofessional.

The owner looks creepy and the place does too this is my first time leaving a review because I'm passionate about kids and this place is just not it

Great place, 6 part time assistants to help the 24 hour childcare, 12 child ratio at one time, 2 back yards, 40 STEM bins of fun inside and outside backyard, fresh air from the territorial view-lots of oxygen emitted off the plants, bushes and trees, 3 houses away from Renton Park Elementary, 3 houses away from the nature trails, glass green house for learning to plant organic veggies in the spring, ECO friendly childcare site with certificate on the wall, Level 3 Early achievers site (some huge centers are a level 2 a level 3 is higher) Some organic foods offered (most places don't offer organic foods) enroll with her contracted USDA food program so you won't have to pack foods in (unless your child can't eat the foods offered you may have to pack in your foods) One mile to grocery, gas station, library, banks and food establishments.

She's been working with kids 40 years so don't let the below reviews effect you, get her references and call them-easy! Every business experiences *difficult people who want free or or just jealous-some want to control the business and find out they are wrong and attack the business. If you read the words of the people and check their reviews, they have many 1 or 2 stars for lots of businesses- which is making them not welcomed at those persons place of business, because they only want to be right and not set an appointment and talk things out like a normal person would do-they just want to rip people apart right then and there. (without finding out what the laws are that makes the decisions).

All business have the right to refuse service to anyone, she refused because they didn't fill out required paperwork or they didn't pay in advance-ask them for a receipt (proof of paying for service) In childcare you have to pay your tuition or copay before childcare or you can end service with the parent at anytime for lack of paying. These people did not pay, did not pay late fees, basically just want to cheat the business right from the first day.

If you like sloppy structure, lack of real time communication & children being more watched on camera than in real life this is a great fit for you. I am a very involved mother and when I did the tour Janice did such a great job showing the place, but once my children attended EVERYTHING changed. Janice is the only point of contact, and she is not there onsite with the children but on occasion, so as for knowing how my children's care is going, non existent!

Not to mention never did she call it was always book on books of text messages, and never during the times my children was in daycare always evenings, etc. Not very professional at all, and most the staff was rude! There is only 1 staff member there that seems to know what is going on and if it weren't for her I would not have stuck it out as long as I have.

Unfortunately having only one real involved staff member is not enough for me. The other staff members either do not understand English well, or have no idea as to what is going on in the day to day daycare life! My kids have had no real progress (development wise) they actually have fallen further behind, and when bringing this to Janice her answer is "oh lets have a sit down, parent teacher" and other staff members when asking them about things they say "I don't know but we can check the cameras" This daycare structure is sloppy.

The management is poor and I am shocked that it is still in business considering all that has happened since we my children have attended. They may have a clean sanitized facility but they do not tend to hygiene well, my toddlers buts do not get properly wiped, they are getting so much rashes & they have the worst manners now. This daycare is not the best, Janice will tell you that they have a full staff but truth be told they do not, especially in the morning.

Also Janice allows her staff to treat the children poorly, I would not recommend this place to an enemy let alone friends and loved ones. If I could do 0 start rating I would. I am very disappointed in so many things from this place.

I removed my 3 year old from Janice's care for several reasons. First off, it is a pain to get them to answer the door. They can't hear you knocking and have three different doorbells you can try(two of which are disconnected) and if those fail you can call their cell phones. Every day for the month he was there, when we picked him up he was always "just waking up from a nap" (as late as 5:30 in the evening!) and two of those times he was wet (he has been potty trained fully for over a year).

The final straw was the last day when I arrived to pick him up and NO ONE WAS THERE! They were 30 mins late to get back, I was unable to reach them and they were completely unconcerned. PLEASE do not leave your child in this daycare.
