When my child started at Little Learners in January 2019 he was coming off of some terrible…read moreexperiences at other schools where he had been bullied and made to feel stupid (and he was only 4!!). I told Little Learners about the past problems we had, and that in some ways my kid was working on rebuilding his confidence. After a few weeks there he began to be more like himself, even wore his favorite pink shirt to school! (This was something he'd been bullied for in the past, so this was a big step.) At that moment, I knew he was really starting to feel safe and accepted at LLP. My kiddo is also not one of the kids who sits still very well. He is fidgety and is still learning to be good at circle time. They have been patient with him and have kept me well informed of his progress. They even let me visit the classroom many times to see what they did at circle time, and helped brainstorm ideas on how to get my child to learn to best behave. They have encouraged me and my child, and have been VERY helpful and very good at collaborating with me to think up ways to best help my son overcome challenges, and learn good behavior. They also have been great at being sure to celebrate his successes and his accomplishments, too. They just hosted the preschool graduation and we were thrilled! They had a nice, big ceremony in a nice venue and they put a lot more thought and planning into the event than I ever expected. It's clear that they really care about the children and parents, and work hard to ensure that the families that attend LLP are happy and know they're appreciated. They really know my son, and all of his likes, dislikes, and his charming qualities and what makes him tick. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and family.

From the day I toured the center, I was consistently impressed with how clean and organized everything was. In the almost 3 years my daughter has been there, we have had zero concerns. I get teary-eyed just thinking about the peace of mind Booming Blossoms provided over the years. They were responsive, helpful, flexible, and always so patient with our girl (and trust me, she wasn't easy!). From monthly learning themes to the holiday fun, Lauryn and her team made every single day fun and exciting. Throughout the day, I would get pictures of what they were up to and a full report of the day at pick up. Anytime they had a new teacher join, we were promptly introduced and my daughter loved every single one of them- shout out to Miss Debbie, Miss Macy, and Miss Sarah! Blooming Blossoms holds a very special place in our hearts and we will continue to refer all to this center. Thank you Lauryn and team for a wonderful experience!

The absolute BEST childcare experience -- truly part of our family…read more Our daughter was with Miss Lauryn for over two years, and I can honestly say there are not enough good things I could ever write about her or Blooming Blossoms Learning Center. Leaving was one of the hardest decisions we've ever made, and we only did so because we recently transitioned our daughter to preschool. It truly felt like leaving a piece of our heart behind. We began with Miss Lauryn at her PB location and loved her so much that we followed her through her relocation to Santee -- even though it's far from our home. That alone speaks to the depth of our trust in her. Her Santee facility is beautiful, clean, safe, thoughtfully designed, and located in a wonderful neighborhood. Our daughter became her very first student there, and we couldn't have been happier. From day one, Miss Lauryn created the safest, warmest, most nurturing environment a parent could ever hope for. Our daughter had only ever been cared for at home by a nanny, so the idea of sending her somewhere outside our home felt intimidating at first -- but she made the transition seamless. Her program is the perfect bridge between in-home care and a true school setting: loving, personal, and homey, yet structured with curriculum, routines, and so many opportunities for social and developmental growth. Our daughter absolutely THRIVED with her. She grew into an expressive, confident, funny, kind little girl with such a big personality, and Miss Lauryn and her wonderful assistants were a huge part of that. She is attentive, patient, loving, and genuinely treats each child as if they were her own. Her communication with parents is absolutely exceptional. She uses the ClassDojo app and posts photos and updates every day, so you always feel connected and reassured. She is incredibly responsive, understanding, and communicative -- which is especially comforting if you're a more cautious or anxious parent (like we were in the beginning). You truly feel informed, included, and at ease at all times. On top of all of that, her hours are amazing -- better than nearly anything else we found -- and she provides all food, snacks, and lunches, which is such a huge help for busy families. And her rates are extremely fair and competitive for the level of care, communication, and structure she provides. It truly doesn't get better than this. If you are looking for a safe, loving, clean, developmentally focused, and genuinely warm environment for your child, Blooming Blossoms is the very best decision you can make. We are forever grateful for the foundation she gave our daughter and the love she poured into her every single day. We cannot recommend Miss Lauryn and her program enough.

We couldn't have asked for a better preschool for our daughter. She attended from the time she…read moreturned 2 until she started TK, and it became like a second home to her. Miss Gladys creates such a warm, loving, and well-organized environment. She has an amazing ability to guide children with patience and kindness--without ever needing to raise her voice. The children listen, eat their healthy home-cooked meals, and take their naps because they feel safe, respected, and cared for. The preschool is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Beyond the loving care, the children learn so much. My daughter developed independence, learned her letters and numbers, and built the confidence she needed to start school. Thanks to Miss Gladys, I truly feel my daughter is more than ready for TK. The best proof of how much she loves this place is that every day at pickup she never wants to leave. She always has to give Miss Gladys a hug--sometimes even coming back for one more before we finally head home. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Miss Gladys has shown our daughter over the years. We will always remember these special years and highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching place for their child.

WE LOVED THE LITTLE SCHOOL!!!!…read more If you're looking for a behavior-based pre-school that will help your kids grow into well-balanced, respectful and self-aware little children, then this is without-a-doubt the school for your family! Both of my kids attended The Little School (TLS) from 2011-2016, and I can honestly say (with absolute gratitude and humility) that they are typically the most well-behaved and well-spoken kids in most social settings. During the last five years, our family of four learned a great deal about how to use positive reinforcement and respect when dealing with parent/child intercommunications. The children learned how to communicate using their words (use your words, please), problem solve with their little peers (ask Megan about the buddy-bench), and accept their own responsibilities (who's responsibility is it?). From the start, TLS helped me personally be a better parent. For example, when my first child started to walk and learned how to climb up onto a chair my first reaction was to say, "No standing!". Yet, what I learned was, the best way to handle that situation is to say, "Sit down, please." As parents, my wife and I also learned how to provide better direction to our children; without them losing a sense of control. For example: "Kids, it's shower time. Do you want to walk, or do you want me to carry you?" Either way they're taking a shower. The same option was also used when we started to put them to bed on their own. Brilliant! There are way too many scenarios to list here so I won't even try. Megan and her staff are extremely loving and supportive, and if there's anything you need help with as a parent she can help you with some great suggestions and ideas to help you manage through it. We really consider Megan and her family, and some of the other families we met there, an extension of our own family. In short, for us, The Little School experience was the social foundation and fabric from which our kids' lives are formed from - and for that we will eternally be grateful. HUGE HUGS AND SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THE LITTLE SCHOOL TEACHERS!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!

First, I'll say my daughter loves the Little School for all the amazing fun stuff she gets to do…read morethere that we don't always do at home - painting, songs, dancing. We moved last summer and she still remembers the songs and reminds me that she painted her very first painting that I framed.( She's NOW 2) I loved the little school for the perfect care and love we both received. As an "older" mom, I never thought I'd need to know about kid's nutrition or potty training! But I learned SO MUCH about parenting from the teachers and staff. With the Positive Discipline approach the terrible twos have not been terrible at all....I'm actually surviving them (only 2-months in). But most importantly, the genuine regard for all the children's unique personalities, talents and quirks really set the Little School apart from others that I entertained. There is a peace about the environment there that I've not found eleswhere. Each child is appreciated. Each child is respected. You can't ask for more than that! (Even though you do get more.....much more)
