My daughter goes to TU. She will be going to the next room of the previous stated review. It doesn't matter a race of a teacher as long as they love my child. Teachers that don't even teach my daughter speak to me. It takes me 20 mins to get my daughter to want to leave.She loves her class and loves Michael's mommy, Miss Tracy and Shannon. I have always felt welcomed and valued at TU. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants their child to be loved.
Pros: teachers, reading/sing alongs, numbers, letters, colors

I am very surprised by your comment. My children have been at Toddler U for 3 years and the ladies up front greet us everyday. I have been very pleased with the attention and concern that they have for my children on a daily basis. I have also found the ladies up front to be very helpful in answering any of my questions. As working professionals who are both in the educational field we couldnt be more happy!
Pros: Very friendly staff
Cons: none

UPDATE!! We are still trying to get the ladies in the front to acknowledge that we are coming in to drop off or picking up our child- The younger staff leaves a lot to be desired and as a result of lack of afternoon care we have put our names on the waiting lists for other child care. The our child is not yet in the Toddler class but I have taken the time to stop by the class to sort of "check it out" only to see the staff sitting in the chairs chatting about inappropriate topics and thier grammer leaves me wondering if we live in the city or county. We were told by a few other mothers that they too are looking into other options. This is why I have changed the star option from avarage ..to not recommended. Previous Review: Toddler University is a fun place. Our son enjoys his teachers and class mates! The teachers are all very nice and seem to really care about the children. CON-The Owners/Directors are a little moody and tend to not speak unless spoken to and for me it is frustrating. My son loves to say "HELLO" and "GOOD-BYE" to everyone and likes being responded to .....Sometimes the little things mean a lot to a small child!
Pros: None at this time!
Cons: Young staff/Rude employees/Too expensive for lack of structure and care

If you want a summer experience for your child that includes two days of week of swimming, two days a week of field trips, this is the place for you. If you want a place for your child that is clean and bright this is the place for you. If you want a place for your child where teasing is acceptable (because after all, all kids tease), this is the place for you. If you want a place where your child goes wild in a room "supervised" by a bored teen or two, this is the place for you! Bottom line: the intent here is great, but with over 200 children enrolled, it's a bit too big to have a very controlled environment.
Pros: always clean, pleasant environment, owners on premises
Cons: too big - staff too immature to properly supervise or guide children-too many children per room

I have a 2 children that attend this center on a full-time basis. We have been there since our children were infants. We our very pleased with the over all day to day activities our children participate in while in their care. They have a wonderful facility with an inground pool and a gym. Our children love the ladies who run it. The teachers have always been friendly and seem to really enjoy their jobs. We would never go anywhere else. Way to go Toddler U.
