Toddler University DayCare is one of the most unique, rare, and hidden places you will encounter for childcare. The school is unique because as unbelievable as it may seem does accommodate 24/7 care (with some exceptions) for those working parents that have irregular or late schedules such as myself. The school is rare because it manages to offer more than just day care or a babysitting service as you will find with most other day cares nowadays, but also early childhood learning or a classroom with a teacher and lessons in the morning. The afternoons are reserved for after care or an after school for kids to spend time. The students receive daily reports from the school via email or text and also there is a color grading chart (red to green) for the childs behavior that day. Toddler University is also unique because it manages to have field trips for the children to visit the Circus or a Frozen ice performance. The school also has a large back yard where kids can play during the day. However, the school is lacking in a larger indoor facility for kids to move around more in and also have designated areas to play and do different activities. In the mornings, this is not concern because class sizes are small, but in the afternoons the small school can easily get crowded with the after school kids visiting. Also, lacking in the school is parent involvement in certain events and activities, but I do not blame the school because it does make the effort to have parent involvement whether it is a Bingo game or dressing up the kids in their super hero costumes for a good cause! The location is hidden and in some ways makes it one of the best kept secrets so far. My wife and I have been sending our daughter for two years and are too afraid to move her anyone else because of the family environment that has developed over this time and also the poor audits performed by other inspectors at other schools. The school is creative when it comes to using technology for the benefit of the parents such as text blast reminders. I need to address the poor one star review given by Chris as interested parent to make the best informed decision about this school, hence, my long review. In regards to falsifying state documents, not paying their bills, and staff not being reachable these are issues that I never observed until this day. However, the mixing of kids from different age groups was present and lack of extra staff was noticeable. However, this was addressed and has improved since last year, but it could be much worse if you look at some of the inspection reports of some of the other schools in Marietta. This is one of main reasons that I have kept my daughter in this schools for this long. Overall, you will find Toddler University to be a genuinely fun, enlightening, and caring school for your child to attend for the price.

IF YOU DO NOT CONSIDER ANY OTHER REVIEW PLEASE TAKE HEED TO THIS ONE.....MY 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS ABUSED AT THIS DAYCARE BY MRS. PRISCILLA. HER FIRST AND LAST DAY WAS MONDAY AUGUST 22 2016 YES A WEEK AGO. MY FAMILY AND I JUST MOVED TO GEORGIA. I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PERFECT DAYCARE BECAUSE THEY WILL SALE YOU A DREAM. WHILE I WAS THERE I WITNESS 2 CHILDREN GETTING HIT BY THE SMALLEST 2YR OLD IN THE PROGRAM. I MYSELF TOLD STAFF MS. Tee AND SHE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I DIDNT CONSIDER THE 1 BAD REVIEW BECAUSE THEY ADVISED ME IT CAME FROM A PRIOR WORKER WHOM THEY FIRED.. WHEN I PICKED MY DAUGHTER UP MRS. TINA WAS IN THE ROOM FEEDING THE CHILDREN NOODLES AND POTTED MEAT. THE SAME 2YR OLD BOY SMACKED A LIL GIRL TWICE IN THE FACE. SHE TOLD STAFF AND ONCE AGAIN THEY DID NOTHING. THEY DO NOT WATCH OUR CHILDREN. My DAUGTER WAS IN THE BACK ROOM BY HERSELF WATCHING MICKEYMOUSE WITH NO SUPERVISION.THATS WHEN I NOTICED MY DAUGHTER HAD A SCRATCH UNDER HER EYE WHICH LATER BRUISED A SCRATCH ON HER CHEST AND A GAULGE FROM THE BACK OF HER HAIRLINE ACROSS HER NECK. WHEN ASKED THE STAFF WHAT HAPPENED NOBODY COULD GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION. MS. PRISCILLA HAD LEFT FOR THE DAY BUT WHEN CALLED ABOUT THE BRUISES ON MY CHILD SHE REPLIED IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN HER??? BECAUSE THEY WAS UNDERSTAFFED AND SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE.SHE CAME BACK UP TO THE DAYCARE I ASKED MS. PRISCILLA TO REVIEW THE TAPES WHICH IRONICALLY DIDNT RECORD THAT DAY?? TO MAKE MATTERS WORST SHE TRIED TO COVER THIS SITUATION UP BY NOT CONTACTING MRS. ISSAC THE OWNER ABOUT THIS INCIDENT I HAD TO REACH OUT TO MRS. ISSAC MYSELF AND SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE INCIDENT. END IF STORY I HAD TO CALL THE COBB COUNTY POLICE AND FILE A REPORT FOR CHILD ABUSE AND IM TAKING EVERY ACTION NECESSARY. IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN DONT SEND THEM HERE I DONT CARE HOW DESPERATE YOU ARE FOR CHILDCARE THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. I AM ON FB FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO REACH OUT TO ME ABOUT THIS FACILITY.

This is an awesome daycare. My son attended this daycare for more than a year & half. I absolutely love this facility and the directors. Mrs. Shana and Ms. Priscilla have been more than teachers they have become family. My son has many allergies & other health conditions. The staff was always very careful with my son. They made sure he avoided all allergens & always paid close attention to him to ensure his health was not compromised. They treated my son like family. I am so grateful to them because they were able to work with my constantly changing schedule, when I was on-call. At a moment’s notice they were able to accommodate me. I also loved the curriculum. I was amazed by the things my son learned especially Spanish. My son bonded with each staff member & they all took great care of him. One of the biggest challenges we had was his restricted diet & potty training. The staff ensured that he ate the proper foods & helped me tremendously with the potty training. It is very challenging to find a 24 hour daycare and a place you can trust. If I didn’t move back to my hometown over 600 miles away he would still attend this daycare center. I love this daycare and I would recommend it to anyone especially parents who work nights, evenings or weekends. They staff is amazing and they will work with your schedule. My family and I will truly miss everyone at Toddler University.

Toddler university is a great daycare. My son has been attending toddler university since it was a home daycare. The workers are awesome, Shana the owner is strict but very fare and the director Priscilla cares for the children as if they were her own. My son is 2 years old and his vocabulary is amazing he knows his ABCs and can count up to 15, which in my opinion is excellent for a 2 year old. The curriculums helps the kids advance beyond their years. Finding a 24 hour daycare is difficult enough but finding one with teachers that actually care about the kids is even more difficult. Finding this daycare wasnt luck it was more of a blessing that came my way. When I drop my son off I know that Im leaving him in capable hands. Toddler university is not only a daycare to me they are my family who takes excellent care of my son
