Teachers telling 3 year olds to shut up… I don’t think I even need to say more. If they talk to your kids like this they clearly do not care!

Apologies for the lack of brevity, but I want people to have the full context if they are considering having their children cared for at this facility.
Honestly, this is difficult to write, considering we had three children enrolled there over an eight-year period.
Approximately 3 months ago, our three-year-old came home with marks on her arm that appeared to have been caused by an adult grabbing her hard enough for their fingernails to dig into her skin and cause bleeding. These marks did not appear to be simple scratches. Our daughter specifically identified the teacher she said had grabbed her arm, and she was in enough pain that she refused to swim unless she kept that arm above the water.
Looking back, we should have called the police, but we were caught off guard in the moment and wanted to gather more information to determine whether there was another explanation or whether this could have been some kind of accident. No accident report was provided to us.
When we contacted the manager, we were given the runaround. The teacher our daughter identified was not at work, and we were told that management wanted to interview her before providing us with a report. When I was finally able to speak with the manager, rather than addressing our concerns or providing any sense of accountability, she repeatedly stated that she did not believe the teacher was capable of that behavior. She also repeatedly brought up how short-staffed they were, which, frankly, is not our concern when it comes to the safety of our child.
What was most concerning was that not once did anyone from management ask how our daughter was doing.
After several days, the teacher returned to work. We received a call in which the teacher apologized, but stated that she did not remember grabbing our daughter's arm. Once again, management did not take any accountability for what had occurred.
We were eventually given an incident report that was extremely poorly written and contained very few specifics. The entire situation was handled in an unprofessional manner, and we saw very little accountability from management. At no point did management clearly state that this behavior was unacceptable or explain what action, if any, would be taken to address the situation.
After having three children attend this facility over eight years, it is extremely disappointing that this is how our experience ultimately ended. We trusted this facility with our children for years, which makes what happened even more difficult to accept. We took our daughter out permanently and have found care for her elsewhere.
When my children first enrolled at Little Reasons, I was hopeful that we had found a great place for them. For the first couple of months, things seemed to be going well, and I genuinely wanted this center to work for our family. Unfortunately, our experience changed dramatically over time and ultimately left me feeling frustrated, unsupported, and disappointed.
Around the middle of the school year, I began receiving phone calls almost daily regarding my 3-year-old daughter’s behavior. As a parent, I understand that communication is important, and I was actually the one who initially encouraged staff to contact me if concerns arose because I wanted to work together as a team. However, what started as communication quickly became excessive. It reached a point where it felt like nearly every challenge or behavioral issue resulted in another phone call rather than being addressed through classroom management and redirection techniques.
Because I wanted to understand exactly what was happening, I spent an entire week observing the classroom myself. During that time, I witnessed what I considered to be normal preschool behavior from multiple children. Like any 3-year-old, my daughter had moments where she needed guidance and redirection, but I also observed other children displaying many of the same behaviors that I was constantly being called about. What was difficult for me was feeling as though my daughter was being singled out while similar behaviors from other children appeared to be handled differently.
I repeatedly tried to work with the staff and find solutions. Instead of feeling supported, I increasingly felt like the responsibility for every behavioral challenge was being placed solely on me as the parent. Rather than feeling like we were working together to help my child succeed, I often felt as though I was being made to feel responsible for issues that are fairly common among preschool-aged children who are still learning emotional regulation and social skills.
One of the most upsetting moments was when a teacher suggested that we should consider removing my daughter from the school. As a parent, hearing that was heartbreaking. Instead of discussing additional strategies, accommodations, or ways to help her succeed in the classroom, it felt as though the solution being presented was simply for us to leave. No parent wants to feel like their child is unwanted, especially when that child is only three years old and still developing emotionally and socially.
What makes this even more disappointing is that I truly wanted this center to work. I gave it every opportunity to succeed. I communicated openly, responded to concerns, observed the classroom personally, and remained involved throughout the process. Despite all of that, I never felt like I was being met halfway. I left feeling that my daughter’s challenges were viewed as a burden rather than an opportunity for teachers and parents to work together.
I understand that every family’s experience may be different, and I recognize that some parents have had positive experiences here. However, based on my family’s experience, I cannot recommend this center. Parents deserve to feel supported, respected, and included in finding solutions for their children. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Instead, we left feeling discouraged, unwelcome, and as though our child had been labeled rather than helped. For those reasons, I am leaving a one star review.

Fantastic daycare! My grown sons and now daughter in law went when they were babies until PreK and now my granddaughter will be starting there in August. There are several employees there today that were there 20 years ago! My children loved it, were cared for, had fun and learned a lot. Looking forward to my granddaughter having the best experience there too!

Little Reasons has been my daughter’s safe place since she was 8 weeks old. She is turning 4 this year and thanks to Little Reasons, she is kind, thoughtful, loving and so incredibly smart. The women who work at the center have looked over my baby since day one. Even after her initial cancer diagnosis, they have continued to welcome her back time and time again with open arms after extended time out for treatment. Every time, our daughter runs from our arms with a huge smile to be back at “her school”. We are so grateful that we found Little Reasons all those years ago. We took our chances with the Houston County Pre-K lottery to give our daughter a chance to start at “big girl school” and if she doesn’t get a spot, we will be continuing pre-K here with the ones who love our baby with all they have. You truly could never find a better spot for your child.
