Little Brookland

I love Little Brookland/Little Munchkinland. My son was in a terrible daycare before and we had several issues there. After my daughter we moved Daycares and they have been going there for 3 years. The staff is great with both of them and I dont ever worry about what is going on when Im not there.

I would NEVER recommend this daycare! I walked in on a teacher ruffle grabbing my sons arm and yelling in his face, I reported it and nothing happened, not even an apology! The next week (May 5th 2017) when I went to pick up my kids my son had a swollen eye with a red make and a cut lip! When I asked what happened no one had any idea! The teacher responded with "I can't watch them all the time"! The teachers are always yelling at the kids and turn over rate is extremely high

I’ve had horrible luck in the past with daycare I switched my daughter to little Brookland in May and since May she has already learned to count, her ABCs and so much more. They love these kids As if they were their own. They have pretty much potty trained her.

Our son was enrolled at Little Brookland for two months. In that time, the center had an almost complete turnover of staff. I am concerned that my son was not well cared for, and that very little, if any sanitation was demonstrated during his time there. He was sent home sick at least once a week (sometimes twice) and there was a documented scabies outbreak. The few times I dropped in unannounced, teachers in his room were not interacting with children at all. Instead, they were playing on their cell phones. Often my son would be extremely hungry when we got home, and his teachers refused to tell me if he ate, or even how his day was. When I asked for daily reports the reports were negative. One being "Your son doesn't know how to listen, he just cried all day" He hated going school. Once I realized that there was nothing that I could do to improve his time at Little Brookland, I removed him and put him in a new childcare center. The new daycare hasn't ONCE sent him home sick, he hasn't ONCE cried all day, or been sent home hungry. There is something wrong with Little Brookland. And they're too secretive to let you know what it is. The only reason I gave this a two star instead of a one star is because the two individuals who made the center bearable. Miss Megan, and Miss Rachel were wonderful, and caring. I wish the rest of the center were as great as them.

My son has been attending Little Brookland Daycare since he was six weeks old, now almost 18-mos. I love this daycare and would highly recommend it. My son is excited to go to daycare each day; he is happy everyday when I pick him up. He loves his teachers and the activities they do together. Recently they did a water day and my son got to splash his heart out on a water table and run through the sprinkler. He apparently screamed with joy the whole time. I really like how much free play the kids get and how thoughtfully they have been transitioning him into the next group once he ages out of the baby room. He plays outside almost everyday and gets lots of exercise indoors and out. On rainy or cold days, the kids can run around in the indoor gym area. The main daycare space is open, so children of all ages get an opportunity to interact. Even though my son had been in the separate baby room, he has made friends with several of the older children. He has been socialized very well at daycare; he is friendly and outgoing in every new situation. The teachers have been teaching the babies/ toddlers sign language; my son can ask for food, milk, cookies (of course! haha!), and crackers. He signs please, done, and book as well. Teachers are communicative with me and genuinely concerned for my sons health and development. They always ask about his doctors appointments and express concerns when he isn’t acting like his normally happy go-lucky self. Teachers keep him well fed, in clean clothes, and engaged with free play or activities. From my personal observations, his teachers seem to love him. All the kids I see here are happy and healthy. All of my interactions with teachers have been positive. All the interactions I’ve observed between teachers and kids have been positive. We chose this daycare because it is close to work for me and my husband. It’s about a 30 minute drive from home; we like this daycare so much we are considering moving closer to daycare and work so we don’t have to change daycare providers and to shorten our commute.

We love Little Brookland! We’ve been attending for over a year and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. My 8-year old daughter only attends during the summer, but they keep her busy everyday with field trips and other activities. I never have to worry about her being bored. My son will be 3 in December and since he started here, his vocabulary has grown so much! They work with the kids and find fun ways to learn. He’s also mastered potty training and I believe it’s because of their organized schedules that he’s been able to do it so well.

We absolutely LOVE Little Brookland. I have taken my child out of 2 different daycares before finding Little Brookland and it was one of the best decisions. My child has been going there since he was around 1 years old and will be 5 soon. At Little Brookland my child is very well taken care of. Even if there are simple mistakes made which is rare but has happened they fix it right away and it never happens again. No daycare is perfect but Little Brookland is pretty close to it. :) My child has so many friends there and always has good things to say about staff. I enjoy hearing about my child’s day there and how exciting it is to go back throughout the week. My child also attends Pre-K there and his teacher is amazing. With all that being said, I highly recommend Little Brookland!

We’ve been using Little Brookland for a little over a year and have been very happy with the care my kiddos are getting! There has been minimal staff turnover in that time and they genuinely love those kids. I love that my kids are excited to go which makes it much easier to go to work. I also found the preschool program they have is fantastic! My daughter was more than prepared for the transition to Kindergarten.

My kids have been going to Little Brookland for almost a year now. I wanted to wait before giving an accurate review of our experience. So far it has been wonderful. Cheryl and her staff have treated both our kids so well and take great care of them. I did have one issue that I addressed with Cheryl and she immediately spoke to the other child and parent involved and it was resolved. Their preschool program is definitely a great one as well. My daughter is learning a lot. She LOVES the program and cries when its time to go home. I would HIGHLY recommend this center to any working family that needs great, trustworthy, quality care!

We found Little Brookland 3 years ago. We have had multiple bad experiences at previous day cares. Little Brookland has been wonderful and our kids enjoy going. The staff work with us when we have a concern even minor to help improve the experience for our kids and I'm sure all kids at the center.
