2/22/17: Edited to change my rating to 1. Within the ten month period, we had two incidents we consider are important enough to be mentioned. Kiran was very aware that these two items were very important to us and the two major factors to pick a daycare, when we enrolled her in her center. I want to stress this out, the teachers are FANTASTIC and we miss them! 1. Kiran tried to convince us that my daughter was on a growth spur so she would be overfed. Growth spurs last for 2 to 3 days, not for weeks. My daughter was exclusively breastfed (on demand) and the formula fed schedule and dosage is radically different. It is not healthy to feed 20+ oz a day in 8 hours to an exclusively breastfed baby. The norm is 1.5 ounces per hour. Suggesting a breastfed baby to be supplemented with formula to comply with the daycares suggestions is NOT professional or respectful of parents choices. I had to talk to her twice and then write a letter to stop this from happening. 2. We got a letter on Friday Oct 14th 2016 informing us that cloth diapers were no longer supported and we were to bring disposables for my daughter. Her major concerns were my daughters motor skills and hygiene in the daycare. When we gave our two weeks notice to pull my daughter out of this center on Monday Oct 17th 2016, she then wanted to talk to us about this issue. I wish she would have brought it up to us and talked about it before sending the letter to reach a compromise that would work for all parties as we were very happy in the daycare till that point. Assuming that the child is healthy and happy and his/her pediatrician has no concerns with his/her progress, the daycare is to here to support the parents, not to challenge their choices. Original review: My daughter attended TinyTots for 10 months. I agree with John Fends comment about the number of kids. Pros: the teachers are fantastic and it is always very clean. Cons: The mainstream parenting philosophy is strongly encouraged by this daycare (disposable diapers, no difference between pace feeding and formula feeding, etc). If you are into any alternative parenting philosophy (paced bottle feeding for exclusively nursing babies, cloth diapers, etc), I would consider other alternatives.

I have my daughter going to Tiny Tots since the last 2 years now. I think they are a great daycare. Every year they have been taking a step up and setting higher standards. I am very happy with the teachers & Kiran is always there to discuss things. I recommended it to my friends & now we have three children attending Tiny Tots from my circle and we all love it. I meet all the parents on different occasions and they all share my thoughts. This year they have started a monthly newsletter and are putting cameras in place as the improvement for this year. I couldnt have asked for a better and safer place for my kid. Thanks Tiny Tots for all the love and care you give every day to all the children.

We are very pleased with Kiran and the quality of care she provides. Our daughter gets excited to see her in the morning and Kiran looks equally excited. She is very flexible and conveniently located near us. I never worry about the care my child is getting during the day. Her house is always clean and my daughter is always happy and well taken care of. Kiran is genuinely a nice, caring person and is great with kids. She is also really easy to talk to. I am a new mom so she even tells me different tips and tricks to try. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for daycare.

Weve had a great experience at Tiny Tots. We switched from a commercial daycare, and it was one of the best decisions weve made. The transition was easy, and we felt relieved knowing we could communicate openly with Kiran, the owner. The teachers are very friendly and accommodating ; its obvious they enjoy caring for children. My husband and I are very pleased. We see that our daughter is happy, engaged and developing socially, and you cant really ask for much more.

Kiran is wonderful with children. She is patient, caring and treats my precious little one like her own. She sings, reads books and is really engaged in his learning and overall well being. Tiny Tots Childcare is a fun, safe learning environment, plus it is conveniently located near us. I cant say enough good things about her, we just love her! I highly recommend her to care for your little one, you wont be disappointed!

I do not agree with John Fends review. My son has been attending the daycare for awhile now, Kiran and her staff are excellent. Ive never had a complaint. They always keep me informed with my child. I dont not believe its a croweded space, there is plenty of room and plenty of kids for my child to interact with. Kiran is very involved and is always there to answer questions and tell us about my childs day.

Our son has been with Tiny Tots since he was 3 months old and we could not be happier. Kiran and her staff are great with the kids. They also provide consistent updates on our sons progress and work with us on areas for improvement. To this point, we really have no complaints.

Not a great place any more, it was good earlier with few kids. Too crowded, they do it in basement, capacity is 12 kids + 2 of there own. Have helpers who manage the day care, most of the time owner is not available to talk on progress of the child. Thanks.
