The owner is extremely prejudice, disrespectful and unprofessional towards not only employees but the parents that pay her bills. the place is disgusting and not cleaned properly. certainly not disinfected with any electronic spray gun like they claim. they may have one but it has certainly not been used as often as they say. anyone could see this business is going downhill fast and the reason for the high employee turnover rate is also very clear. at the time i left two other employees left as well and even more after. when my friend was hired, Mrs. Zeck told me she hired a black girl

Fantastic school! I am amazed at everything my son learns in a week! The staff is great, the owners are great, more of a family feel as opposed to a business. Of all the daycares in the area I would chose this one over and over again cause you get what you pay for! Thank you Toddlers N-Tots for all you do for my son on a daily basis! I recommend everyone I can!

Simply put, we could not be happier with our decision to enroll our child with Toddler 'n Tots. Everyone involved is warm, welcoming and kind. They have been more than accommodating from day one. It's a tough decision to leave your child in the care of someone else. The entire team and especially the teachers at Toddlers 'n Tots makes it that much easier. Highly recommend!

This school is absolutely AMAZING!!! From the moment you walk in you just know how well taken care of your child will be. There is a sense of comfort and ease. Leaving your child with someone is not always easy; but Toddler N Tots has made my transitions so much easier when I have to be away from my little one. I appreciate how loving and kind all of the teachers are. I am constantly impressed by how clean and beautiful the school always looks. I will continue to recommend this school to any one of my friends, family and new parents.

When my family lost our home in hurricane sandy and we were relocated, toddlers n tots were the only school able to help my familys needs for the care of my children. During the hard time we had adjusting both emotionally and financially toddlers n tots stuck by us and cared for us. It's been 3 years now and it has been the best choice Ive ever made for my boys. They are so happy and excited to come each day. My oldest started at 2 years old and ill never forget that after 2 months into attending he came home and recited the pledge of allegiance and counted to 10 in Spanish. Both boys

My child is in the Tikes class. He comes home singing new songs all the time. He has learned so much and was potty trained very quickly. The staff is great and I send my child there because Mrs. Zack puts the childrens safety first and does not tolerate bullying or agressive behavior.
