Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Lil Buddies Learning Center is a small center-based provider in Parma, Ohio, operating at capacity of 41 children. One parent review noted warmth and affection from teaching staff and administration. However, the center carries a history of serious abuse allegations that Ohio state officials investigated and found credible despite the absence of corroborating physical evidence. At least one parent reports that a child continues to refuse discussion of the school. Prospective families should independently verify current licensing status and recent state inspection records before enrollment.
