When we were looking for schools for my former preschooler we were looking for a welcoming and inviting environment for our son to grow and prepare for kindergarten. After the tour our minds were put ease and we had found the exact right daycare. My son enjoyed his teachers and classmates. He is now in kindergarten and thriving due to growth at Wonderkids!!!! By the time our daughter was born we knew exactly what daycare she would attend when I returned to work. Thank you so much to Mary Lou and her wonderful staff.

My son Loves this place! He even asks to go on the weekends! We have been extremely happy with our experience at WonderKids! The teachers and staff there have a deep compassion and respect for the children. They are always integrating new and fun activities to keep the children having fun and learning. Mary Lou Reynolds, the owner, is extremely reliable and flexible. She has always been very respectful and accommodating of our familys unique characteristics and requests.

My son has been attending Wonderkids Daycare for over a year, and I cannot tell you how much we love it! They are always accommodating to our constant schedule changes, the staff are always pleasant and the facility is very clean. My son really enjoys the extra curricular activities they offer (soccer) and the play area outside is really nice! I would give Marylou and the staff at Wonderkids 20 stars if i could!

Awesome Daycare!It can be stressful to search and find the right daycare for your child and family. We had looked at a few and they were not the right fit for our two littles. When I visited Wonderkids and met owner Mary Lou over a year ago, I was immediately at ease and knew my kids would be in great hands! Staff/teachers are professional, kind and patient. My kids love going and enjoy activities, crafts and events that Wonderkids offers. Facility is clean, well structured and appropriately organized by age group to suit the needs of kiddos development. I would never hesitate to recommend this gem of a daycare.

WILL not recommend this Daycare, they did not help my child with his needs sorry to say you have a program there to help a child in need and you failed to do so. Very rude and they don’t communicate well, i never once got a phone call about my son they kicked him out because they couldnt help his needs it was to much for them. I did not get to speak to the owner after my child was kicked out VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I’m very disappointed, in my opinion if you have a program to help a child in need you should actually try on your end to get the help in there.

Wonderkids is a place where your child will learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. This is a center that your child can explore and be creative through a variety of activities. The staff are professional, responsible and always have a smile on their face. I believe the security here is very good due to the fact that everyone has to be buzzed in at the door. The staff take the time in the day to keep the center clean. Wonderkids is more of a family place than an everyday child care center.

The owner Marylou is so nice to me,I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a fun safe and loving place to take care of your children, all the staff is so friendly and they take great care of all the children.

My grandson loved going to Wonderkids. The staff are friendly and caring and they always have plenty of activities to keep the children happy. Between the arts and crafts and many other indoor activities Wonderkids also provided a safe and fun outdoor environment for children to play.There are plenty of toys and learning tools available to children of a variety of ages.The Staff kept me informed of my grandsons daily progress and any changes I needed to be aware of. You could see that his teachers really cared about him and he enjoyed being there too! The facility itself is very safe, with 2 sets of doors that I had to be buzzed in to bring in or take out my grandson.I hope you will find it to be a wonderful experience for your child as I did for my grandson.

My daughter was in this daycare for 6 months. At first it seemed good, she was happy and that staff was very good to her. Unfortunately, as others have stated, there was a lot of problem with the staff to infant ratio. The first time it happened I went to drop my child off to daycare and she was the 10th child with one teacher. I refused to leave my child there and was told that one of the staff over slept but the owner never came in to cover; fortunately another teacher was on her way in early for her shift but this ultimately made me late to work. When I mentioned it to the owner Mary Lou the first time I was reassured that this was an unfortunate mishap and would not happen again but it did unbeknownst to me. In addition, I would frequently pick my daughter up and shed have a full diaper and her hands and face would be a mess from her snack. Non of the staff there have degrees in early child hood education, as well as the owner, and it is more of a bunch of teenagers babysitting your children. One day I went to pick up my daughter and one of the teachers had ordered pizza and 94.5 was on the radio, I again brought this up to Mary Lou and she said that it was unacceptable and they must not have known but they will be made aware. These are the types of kids she has babysitting for the minimum wage with no prior experience. I would not recommend this facility to anyone.

Unsafe and understaffed.I brought my children here for four months. Initially the place seemed ok. The owner was willing to be very accommodating of a potentially fluctuating schedule and the pricing was good.My children were there last winter, and the facility was constantly cold. I would layer my children with double socks and tights under their pants. The staff and owner wore scarves and coats in the building. When I would pick them up they were frequently dirty and had wet through their clothes. I had to comment to the staff about accurately recording their diaper changes (I use cloth diapers and I could tell how many were used each day). I wasnt pleased with the place, and I found certain staff visibly frazzled on multiple occasions, but I did feel that the teachers tried hard and they were always kind to me. The breaking point was when I went to drop my children off one day and there were 10 children with only one teacher. I left with my children that day. I was later assured that this was an unfortunate series of unforeseen circumstances, and so I brought them back the next day. Then the next week I was called by DCYF on a surprise facility inspection. I was told to pick up my children because the place was overcrowded and out of ratio. There were 6 babies in my childs infant room, and apparently more children on the way in. I am sure all of this was unintentional, but at the end of the day the staff was not properly trained and there were not company policies in practice to turn children away when out of ratio, and that left my childrens safety at risk.I spent a lot of time agonizing over putting my children in daycare. I didnt know where to begin and I had no personal recommendations. I chose a daycare because I felt there would be a higher level of accountability. Hopefully things have changed since our time there, but I could never recommend this business.

This daycare is exceptional! The owner Mary Lou and her assistant director Cindy sure do make it feel like family here. I can say that at Wonderkids, it truely is a family here. Even all the girls/women working here are amazing and truely have become our family. We love how it has an indoor and outdoor playground, mini toilets for children and lots of story time, arts and crafts. They even have a healthy meal plan to help children try more foods that are fun and great by a culinary person. I have a daughter that will be five soon who has been going here almost a year and a baby that I was nervous have to go to any daycare she is almost four months but I am so comfortable here that I chose to have her go some days to get on a schedule and get used to others and make baby friends. Thanks for all you do!

Absolute worse experience, doesnt even deserve one star, I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. The director is completely disrespectful and I advise anyone contemplating this as an option look into her first via Google. She feels as though she has to prove her authority to parents, ex. she would disregard any wishes I asked of herself or staff in regard to my children. Placed them outside when it would be below 30 and using DCYF regulations as her excuse. No where does it state a one year old has to be outside for an hour first of all, which was her biggest argument, and then doesnt properly check weather conditions before sending them out. Place is disgusting and so unorganized. Always cold, floors slippery,sticky and just gross. The employee turn over is crazy. My youngest daughter age 1 attended for about 4 months and literally seen about 5-6 different teachers. She loves communicating via text, had the damn nerve to text me that my daughter had a seizure. I shouldve called my doctor and made them report her. I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES, BUT IM GOING TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW HERE. PLEASE TAKE WHAT I HAVE SHARED INTO CONSIDERATION.

Wonderkids is a wonderful place for children to grow and learn.The establishment is very clean and safe.The staff is very friendly,caring and keep the parents informed. Mary lou is also very acommodating to your schedule and willing to answer any questions you may have. The children seem to be having a fantastic time through out the day as they are interacting with their peers,teachers and learn the skills they will need. I would recommend wonderkids to anyone looking for child care.

My son loved his teacher but there are alot of issues. First they keep front door open (to take out trash or need to get something out of car) easy for a kid to run out. also they are not good at giving daily reoprts. we were constantly asking for them. they dont believe in accident reports. We told them about a child picking on my son and the teach said it has happened alot with this child and they dont usually notate it unless there is a mark. the problem my son had arm pain. There was also one time we went to call the school and there phone line was disconected. We have decided to pull our child from the school.
