I was a former student, graduated in 1999 Im 18 now but I beg to differ. Jenny was anything but nice, maybe it was just me and her dislike towards me (which I have no idea why I was 3). She hated me for countless reasons, things I never did. She use to make me sit in the corner every day by the spiders, being as scared as I was and traumatized me for life. Its a shame 18 years old & still scared of spiders. When other kids would get in trouble she'd blame me & half the time I was no where near the incident. When my dad came to pick me up telling him I had been in trouble (which I hadn't) just to get me in trouble. I use to have seizures as a child (it happened very rare though) and one day I had one at the school during nap time, she yelled at me telling me to go to sleep or I'd get in trouble, knowing I was unable to do anything. Learning was great, I ended up skipping a grade but I'm not so sure going through her hatred for me was worth it. A few years back my friend who had went to the school w/me went to go see her & told her I was at his house. She told him to tell me that she still hates me. I never understood how a grown adult could have so much hatred towards a small child.

Kiddie tots is a wonderful school. For someone to try and put Ms jenny down in any type of way is foolish! !! My son just left in 2012 and he left knowing everything he needed to know!!!! Jenny and her staff have done a great job over the years I have dealt with them. So if your child has left there not learning/knowing something maybe they have a personal disability or maybe as a parent youre not putting in your effort because I know for a fact based off of my child's progress and family and friends who have attended their recently that jenny works very hard with these children. I do not care to know of the new staff because ms. Jenny can never be replaced!!!!

Now back in the day Jenny use to be a good teacher, but now she has slacked all the way. My son came out in June of 2010 and he didn't know how to read, sound out letters or add and subtract. Jenny made sure that they knew their alphabets and numbers by saying them so it kind of fools the parents until you ask your child what is this number or letter out of order or by sight and than you realize they really don't know. Jenny also made sure they knew those speeches really she did more harm than good. Parents are so blinded by Jenny's kindness that they don't pay attention to what their kids are learning. Well now their are new owners and I have a niece their now and the new teachers Mrs. Cheryl and Mrs. Deejay are the best the children are really learning now and it's not just about the money with them. I'm also glad that helper Jenny had with her lazy self is gone because all she did was pass out ditto sheets and talk on the phone. I am now happy with the new staff and I know the school will soar now.

Kiddie Tots is a wonderful school for your Toddler. Its a safe school with a wonderful reading, writing, and math program. Ms. Jenny is a great instructor: she's caring and nurturing with the best interest of every child in mind. My daughter has been there for over two years now and I'm very impressed the outcome. I appreciate all of the hard work and dedication of the Kiddie Tots staff.

I attended this school when I was younger. It was a great learning experience. The teachers were so loving and caring with their students.

Kiddie Tots is an excellent small school and learning environment for children. The director, Ms Jeanie is nurturing and well versed in the teaching strategies for young learners. All three of my children attended;all three enrolled at age 2 and all three were reading,writing and adding and subtracting by age 3. Now all three are enrolled in public school and have tested and placed in the GATE programs. (Gifted And Talented Education Program) Parents please enroll your children in early education programs, the sooner they are introduced to academic excellence the more it becomes part of them.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
