My children have so much fun when they are at daycare and they aren’t VPK age yet but they already have learned along side them and participate in many STEAM/STEM based activities. Excited to utilize the preschool/VPK program next year ! They play hard all day and I love that for them in there childhood

This place is absolutely atrocious. The Director is very incompetent and unprofessional, lacking basic communication, math and writing skills. The posts on their Facebook page are available if you wish to confirm this. & the comment back to me was extremely unprofessional but I'm not bothered. I was simply asking for the owners information since I was displeased with the director herself and felt I needed to go up the chain of command. Nothing was resolved of course. I am not about to have an internet back and forth with a DIRECTOR of a child care center. This actually says a lot of the owner who would employ someone like this but to each his own! I unenrolled two of my children from this center after my daughter was sent home with feces in her underwear. She is only two and was on her way to being potty trained. I was very understanding and I did not make a scene about the incident. i understand things happen and I consider myself to be very understanding and reasonable. I simply emailed the director my concern with the picture of my child's underwear to show her, because she was not there when I picked up my children and also wasn't there the morning after when I wanted to discuss the matter. Quite frankly when is she ever there? She emailed me back stating she would talk to whomever and I have no idea if anything was discussed with whomever was responsible for my child. I requested that they send home a daily report specifically a potty log, so I could know when my child was going to the restroom, to be sure an adult was present to help her going forward. Come to find out, per the owner that daily reports SHOULD be sent out, but I never received a single one. Instead of making a fuss, I just unenrolled them. I find it concerning that a director doesn't care enough to be sure a simple request is executed, especially considering she was sent home with feces in her underwear for god knows how long and a red bottom. After I emailed her to let her know I was needing their documents back, a refund for the weeks I paid in advance and also a statement showing my zero balance, she provided me a receipt. Mind you, I asked her twice in an email for this and she confirmed she would have it ready when I picked them up, hours later. Of course, it wasn't ready. I was provided with a receipt she scribbled on with the name of the center and her scribble scrabble signature, that's it. I could be wrong but I thought a receipt is for when you make a payment not when you receive a refund? But hey! No worries I simply emailed her letting her know what I needed! She also had me sign a paper for the incorrect amount to be refunded, and ALSO didn't give the amount back that was on the paper. It was only $5 so I am not one to make a big deal out of something so small, especially knowing my problems there would be over. However, I needed the document showing my balance so I specifically asked for her to redo this and add the information I needed and she never responded to my email, this was on a Friday. After being patient, hoping maybe Monday morning I would receive this, I asked for the owners information because clearly she couldn't do what I was asking for & that's okay! Some people aren't able to do their job. Only THEN, on TUESDAY did she email me back asking if I still needed the document. Oh! & had the nerve to pass around my email I sent to the owner to show all her colleagues. I suppose we have high school children taking care of children at munchkinland. The only reason my kiddos were there as long as they were, 2-3 weeks give or take, is because of the Pre-k Teacher Ms. Jordan. During this time, I never not one time spoke to my youngest child's teacher. She never introduced herself, never discussed with me the issue with the underwear. i thought Ms. Sie was her teacher and she wasn't. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Munchkinland is hands-down the best daycare for our little guy! He has attended Munchkinland since he was only seven months old. He is now almost 3. I trust them in all aspects. He has learned so much, has a great time, and comes home happy every day. We could not ask for anything more. We love Munchkinland, the teachers and the owners.

You know what they say there is always a rotten apple in the bunch! 🍎 Please don’t look at the bad reviews obviously we don’t know the whole story and it is one sided of course. Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Jordan are by far the best daycare workers and I trust them completely with my daughter. My daughter did VPK here and she would literally run out of the car because she loved it so much and would be mad when I would pick her up! Ms. Tiffany has given me guidance on how to help my daughter grow and even read better! Notice there are only three reviews that are bad……three don’t base your judgement off other people’s bad days. You form your own opinion!

My 2 children (2 and 4) have been going to Munchkinland for years, 3 years for one and the other since she was 10 weeks old. I cannot say enough about this school. The love that every teacher there shows my children and my family continues to shock me. My 4 year old has continued to grow her education through them in VPK and, as a teacher myself, I am so impressed with their program. My 2 year old already knows her ABCs, can count to 14 and sings nursery rhymes constantly thanks in large part to Ms. Tiffany and her staff. The emphasis they put on education is what will ALWAYS keep me there, even through the pandemic! Some days, the only way to get my kids in the car is telling them they get to see Ms. Jordan, Ms. Toshara and Ms. Saya!

Dropped my niece off here on several different occasions and each time the person at the check-in desk looked miserable with a sour face on, the children were being yelled at and being spoken to very disrespectfully. I was also yelled at and spoken to quite disrespectfully in front of the staff and all of the children for my brother being a day late on his tuition (which I knew nothing about). My niece was always sad at drop off because they always had something to say about her when she got there. My brother was not happy with them either. His daughter thankfully no longer attends this facility and my children never will either.

We found Munchkinland several years ago when we moved to PSJ and have been grateful every day since. The owner/operator, Tiffany, has a heart for children and has taken remarkable care of our three children. I can’t thank the people who work at Munchkinland enough for loving my kids.
