Yes, there have been biting episodes when my children were toddlers. But does every child care center! It is a phase. They also do the best they can during those times.
Moved to the toddler room a few days ago. He has been in the room for 5 days. Within those 5 days he was bit 2 times and scratched across the face leading to a eye infection from the scratch. 3/5 days he was injured and only 1 phone call. They then put the blame on my child who was bitten. He did not bit anyone, hurt anyone or verbally said anything. How is my child in the wrong. Watch where you place your child good ratings and rewards mean nothing.
I feel sorry for those parents who feel stuck, because they have to work and they don't have any other options. I know for a fact there is at least one other parent that doesn't feel 100% safe leaving their little one in that room. Don’t send your toddler to this daycare unless you are okay with not knowing if your child will be bitten because it is a phase at that age group.
Little did she know that I already had our name on a waiting list ever since my child moved up to the toddler room. I am so thankful I was able to remove my child from this childcare center.
I had to email the director multiple times to express my concerns of not being notified of a bite and also trying to be forced to sign a form saying my child was the “biter”. Once I expressed my concerns about my child being bitten, the director informed me that we had different philosophies and perhaps that I should withdraw my child due to the fact that I wanted the “biter” separated and closely monitored when around my child due to the fact that she had been bitten multiple times. She even said that I was lucky that my child was not the “biter” because the other parent had to have their child suspended for 3 days. I find it very difficult to feel lucky, especially since my child was the one coming home with bruises. She was bit so hard that she had a bruise for 3 days and she was wearing a sweater the day she was bitten.
The director did release me of my 4 week notice contract, but I had to inform her of my decision within that day. I suspect she wanted me to inform her of my decision within the day, so I wouldn't have time to look for other childcare. (Knowing that all reasonable day care centers are booked solid with no openings).
Any incident that occurs, the teachers and administrators react accordingly and swiftly, following all state rules and regulations, and I 100% trust my children at this facility.
There is some turn over, but most of the teachers are college students and younger. All child care centers suffer from turnover as well due to this.
Little Country Schoolhouse works to provide a structured curriculum for the children from infancy through childhood. One of the only facilities in Clarksville with an on-site pool and several different playgrounds. My daughter attended LCSH from the infant room through First Grade. I firmly believe her education got off on the right foot thanks to Mrs. Kathleen as her K-1 teacher.
My son attended the infant room and really did good. He was bit by another kid on the face. I got no call in regards to the bite. He was then getting marks on him once again no calls or records of marks he got.
My daughter and son have both benefitted from being part of the LCSH family over the past few years. We are a military family and this is our third move with kids. LCSH has been the best experience we have had with childcare in 8 yrs. They are compassionate, empathetic and connected to the kids they teach daily. My daughter started shy and not super social at 3 yrs old. She has graduated pre-k now a confident friendly child ready to take on kindergarten and the adventure of another military move. She has learned to be a student, friend, member of a community, swimmer, gymnast,... I could go on. We loved each of her teachers. They became like family to us. I would have definitely stayed on for KG at LCSH. My son goes to the school age program. They are so accommodating! Even when parents like me overlook Election Day until the last minute. He has a great time in the summer and on school breaks. Highly recommended!
I do not recommend Little Country Schoolhouse. The toddler room is chaotic. They do not have a consistent teacher for the classroom. Multiple children have been bitten and their only response is that it is a phase at this age group. They supposedly have a "biting" policy and I suspect they don't follow it. Especially since I spoke with another parent in the same class and their child had been bitten and scratched 4 times as well. This parent was just as frustrated and spoke to the office ladies (which they said they were monitoring the room), but this mom didn’t have any other options because there is no availability elsewhere.
Absolutely love this place :) My children have been going since infancy, one is 3 and one is 5. The 5 year old has attended pre-k there and will be attending kindergarten and first grade there as well. They have a pool on grounds and offer swimming lessons each year. Several play grounds there as well, all age appropriate.
