I cannot say enough wonderful things about Little Learners Academy! My experience with them…read moreactually began years ago when my now 9-year-old son attended. Ms. Maria and Ms. Jessica were incredibly loving, patient, and caring with him. They taught my son so much and helped build a strong foundation that made his transition into kindergarten so smooth. Today, he is still a highly advanced student earning exceptional grades, and I truly believe that his educational journey and love for learning started with the foundation thy helped build. I will forever be grateful for that! (My son still remembers them too ) Years later, when it was time for my younger children to start daycare, there was no question about where I wanted them to go. My 3-year-old daughter and almost 2-year-old son now attend Little Learners, and once again, I have been so impressed with the care they receive. One of the hardest things as a parent is returning to work and having to leave your children in someone else's care. There can be so much fear and anxiety, especially when your children are so young. Little Learners has truly given me peace of mind knowing that my children are in good hands. I can go to work feeling confident that they are safe, cared for, learning, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about them. I also absolutely love all of the fun activities, school events, and special experiences they provide for the children and families. They do such a wonderful job creating an engaging environment, and I especially appreciate the onsite extracurricular activities available to the children. It is clear that they put a lot of thought and effort into making the children's experience both educational and fun. I want to thank all of the amazing staff who have done such a wonderful job with my children. They are responsive, attentive, loving, and truly invested in the children they care for. The daycare director is also amazing and has done a fantastic job building such a welcoming, dependable, and nurturing establishment. Little Learners is more than just a daycare--it truly feels like a community that I trust and feel comfortable being a part of. I brought my younger children here because of the wonderful experience my oldest had, and I continue to be grateful for the love and care they receive every day. I want to thank Ms. Shazna, Ms. Maria, Maria Chavez, Ms. Humira, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Hironi, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Khan, Ms. Chathu and all the other amazing staff members! I highly recommend Little Learners to any parent!

I visited MANY daycare centers and home daycares before choosing Little Learners, and the moment I met Mrs. Shazna, I knew I had found the right place for my children. Leaving my children in someone else's care for the first time was scary, but Mrs. Shazna and the incredible teachers quickly put my worries at ease. Every teacher is loving, patient, experienced, and genuinely caring. My children are always excited to go in every morning--and sometimes they're so excited that they run inside and forget to say goodbye to me! As a mom, that means everything. The school provides truly exceptional care. Children are separated into classrooms based on age, with 2-3 teachers in each room. The facility is clean and safe, there is a wonderful outdoor play area, and they even have a kitchen and chef who prepares meals for the children daily. They also offer so many enriching activities, including music, dance, soccer, martial arts, water play, summer programs, and more. Mrs. Shazna also goes above and beyond to create special experiences for the children and families, from beautiful parades and concerts to unforgettable events and memories. It's clear that the entire staff is committed not only to caring for the children, but also to giving them a strong foundation for learning and development. My oldest has one more year left at Little Learners, and honestly, it breaks my heart knowing that his time there will eventually come to an end. Thankfully, my youngest still has several more years there. A huge thank you to Mrs. Shazna, Mrs. Maria, Mrs. Jessica, Ms. Hironi, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Khan, Ms. Nish, Ms. Chathu, Ms. Carolina, and every other teacher and staff member. We appreciate everything you do and are so grateful that our children get to grow, learn, and make memories in such a loving environment. We love you all, truly. If you're looking for a daycare where your children will be genuinely loved, cared for, and treated like family, I highly recommend Little Learners Academy. You won't regret it!

I never stated anything about whether your facility was is compliance with state licensing regulations, which are the bare minimum requirments for all licensed child care facilities and nothing to be bragging about. You say things like that your policies are "clearly communicated," with no such explanation of what you mean, when I provided factual details and pages of "critical context." You have now accussed me of "repeated concerns regarding hostile communication and ongoing disruptive interactions with staff." For the prospective families reading this, I implore you, Ms. Peggy, to define what your definitions of "hostile communication" and "ongoing disruptive interactions" and "combative" are. I also give you permission to state what dates and claims about me you are even referring to, but make sure to to include "critical context" without being "inaccurate" or "misleading" when doing so. Parents need to be aware that you were never around during the incidents I described, so you have no basis for knowing whether anything I described was inaccurate. I asked a lot of questions that your staff didn't like and 1st I was called "rude" for it and now that I documented my experiences, you are trying to label me "hostile." Shame on you. This is basic mean girl bullying and the wrong way to respond to a review because it is not 5 stars.

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Little Acorns Grow! As a first time mom I toured…read more11 daycares and interviewed 6 nannies in the area and ultimately decided to send my 5 month old to LAG with zero regrets. The teachers in the infant room were some of the most warm, welcoming, and wonderful women I know. I genuinely felt like they loved my daughter and knowing she was in such caring hands every day meant so much to me. When picking a daycare you can go somewhere that is simply just going to keep your child's needs met, or you can go somewhere that your child can actually grow. The latter is LAG. There were specific times for activities, music class, snack time, outside time, etc. Even at a young age I noticed the difference in my daughter after her being at LAG. The facility itself is so well-kept. The classrooms are clean, not overwhelming with too many toys or screens or colors, and they have a beautiful outdoor area as well. We unfortunately had to withdraw our daughter from LAG recently because we are relocating to a new area and trust me when I say it was the hardest and saddest decision to make. LAG is such a special place and we feel so lucky our daughter got to attend here.

At first, I thought the parking lot was plain, but as soon as I stepped inside, it was a whole different world! Definetly worth to visit on a tour. I absolutely loved the play yard. They have two main outdoor areas: one for the little kids and another for the older ones. Plus, they have a garden where they plant vegetables and strawberries, and there's plenty of shade everywhere. It's truly a lovely space. The outdoor play area immediately made me feel happy, and I knew this was the place I wanted my kids to be. My daughter attended from ages 2 to 4, and now my son has started at 2 years old. LAC also has an infant center, which looks wonderful! I seen parents taking off their shoes in the infant center, keeping it extra clean! Last year, they did a bunch of new updates in all classrooms and bathrooms. The classrooms are nice and well-maintained. I especially loved Ms. Priscilla, Ms. Joan, and Mrs. Shannon. And if you need anything, ask for Leilany in the office, she's super nice and always helpful. I highly recommend Little Acorns Grow to any parent looking for a nice, clean, beautiful and outdoorsy daycare!

Since going, his speech has definitely improved and I even witnessed him trying to make friends! One of the reasons why I was so quick to choose Cordcare after touring many daycares, is because Connie is very thorough and organized, as well as a natural caregiver. I felt like I could trust her with my babies immediately. Every day daycare is attended, they are sent home with a report of what they ate, when/ how often they were changed or went potty, when they took a nap and woke up, as well as any concerns or notes of anything they're running low on that you need to bring in (aka wipes, diapers, or formula- if used). Connie also always sends me a text if she has any concerns she thinks I should know about. I'm so grateful that they care for my boys like their own.. they even had a little birthday celebration for my youngest's 1st birthday. It was so sweet of them.. Some days, my 2 year old just runs in there excitedly! That speaks volumes.

The teachers are dedicated professionals who go above and beyond to ensure that each child is given the attention and guidance they need to excel academically. The curriculum is robust, challenging, and engaging, fostering a love of learning in students. The school also places a strong emphasis on holistic development, encouraging students to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. This has greatly helped my child in developing leadership skills and discovering new interests. The school's commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment is commendable. The administration is responsive and takes parents' concerns seriously, which is reassuring. Overall, I believe this school has played a pivotal role in shaping my child's knowledge, skills, and character. I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a well-rounded education for their child. By far the best decision my husband and I made.

Dali is warm, loving, highly experienced, and cares deeply about children and their families. I felt so comfortable leaving our baby with Dali each morning and when we requested photos or updates on how she was doing Dali would promptly text us. It is difficult to find high quality childcare and I was very impressed with the calm and family like atmosphere Dali has cultivated. She keeps the environment and materials exceptionally clean.

She and her staff were like extended family to my girls; it takes a village and trust me you want her and her team as part of your village. My oldest started at 18 months old and my youngest at 5 months old. My girls both adore her and have benefitted immensely from being under her care. Both of them always looked forward to going there every morning. She even helped with potty training which, as you parents know, is a challenge! She was patient with accidents, reassuring us when we got understandably frustrated, and was an immense help in that department. When my oldest started, it was during the pandemic and she had been out of a day care setting for months while everything was locked down, so needless to say she was somewhat difficult since we couldn't really socialize much with social distancing in place. Dali was patient, caring, and understanding with her and helped my little girl adjust to socializing with other children and learning boundaries and discipline in a respectful way. Once she adjusted, she thrived under her care. Prior to starting TK, she knew her letters and numbers and even writing her own name! I was always kept up-to-date on her progress and growth, alerted to any concerns regarding behavior and/or illness, and provided with advice and/or reassurance when facing developmental challenges (at the time, as a first time parent, this meant the world to me). She did this with both of my girls and gave me such great peace of mind when they were under her care. Both my girls were there at the same time at one point when they were too young to start school and she handled them wonderfully. Socializing with new friends, eating nutritious foods, waterplay days during summertime, playtime with fun toys, arts and crafts, games and story time, Dali's day care has it all in a spacious and cozy home that feels like a second home for your kiddos. Like I said, I HIGHLY recommend her day care! :)

I highly recommend AAKP!
