I came across the magical garden (on Yelp) and had an instant amazing feeling about this place. Veronica (the owner) responded to my email immediately and invited us for a tour. The moment we walked into her home my husband and I felt SO welcomed! Even our son. He immediately fell in love with her. We have now been going here for 10 months and our son LOVES coming here. He adores Raquel, Veronica, (her mom), and the other ladies that help out!! Truly these woman are such a blessing. I love the fact that they are outdoors all day because all my son wants to do is "outside." It's also amazing that she sends pictures every time he is there to show us what activities they are doing and just pure joy in the pictures.

They were doing yoga, outdoors, listening music, you can feel the chill and happy vibes around. I was like, that's it! Our son attended on his 6 months old, he's very enjoying his days in here. He was so sensitive and afraid of people before, now he turns out super active and cheerful. I really appreciate it. Plus, Veronica has really good taste, she is a fashion artist! And I love her home decorations, wide open yard, I feel great to let our son grow in this beautiful space.

My husband and I were looking at multiple daycares in our area knowing that we'd have to go back working full-time. The top things we were looking for was a place that had a large enough space for kids to roam but small enough that it feels intimate and homey, a place that was safe and clean, and most importantly, somewhere where you knew the staff cared for the kids. Le Petit is exactly that and more. Zari and the teachers were always so attentive. Every single time we'd pick up our daughter, she would always be smiley and happy. Thank you Le Petit!

The day we went to meet Karine and visited the daycare we immediately felt a sense of relief that we had found the perfect spot to care for our little one. My son is now 3 1/2 years old and is still attending - he just completed the preschool program. He has grown into a smart, loving and healthy boy thanks to Karine and her staff. My family and friends are always shocked when they see my son eat his vegetables and request for broccoli! We owe his positive development to this amazing place. Every day we pick him up he's always so happy. Teacher Rena has seen him grow since he was a baby and treats him as if he were her own. Teacher Emma receives him with such warmth and kindness every morning. Irina is Karine's mom and she makes the most delicious food for the kids, you often smell the wonderful home cooked meals during drop offs. I can't recommend this place enough! They keep the place so clean, have wonderful activities, celebrate birthdays and holidays, enjoy water games during the summer, hold music and exercise classes. As a first time mom, I'm so thankful for the help, support, guidance and recommendations Karine has given me every step of the way and throughout each milestone my son has accomplished. And as a working mom, there is no better relief than to trust my son is in a safe and loving environment for the entire day. We love LPDC and are so lucky we have them in our lives! Now - how do we stop our kid from growing so he can stay here even longer? :)

Now he actually looks forward to going to daycare and spending time with them. Sara has a helper, so the teacher-to-child ratio is consistently around 1:3 to 1:4.

Most of the parents we've met have had a really positive experience there, and many plan to send their younger children to Sara as well.

I didn't get shown around the facilities, I had to ask to be taken to each specific area. I wasn't given any information at all until asked. I wasn't offered a price structure or informed about waitlists or half days/full days or potty training requirements or pick up times or if lunch was included or class ratios until I asked. No information about parental communication apps. There were a lot of pockets of silence. When asked about what their daily schedule is like, I was told "We have it posted over there." The kids looked happy and the teachers seemed sweet. This place is super convenient for me and I would have 100% sent my son here if the tour was better. I just felt like I was intruding and the director was just waiting for me to leave so she could get on with her day. So awkward.

Over the years, we watched her become more confident, independent, curious, and social. She learned so much academically, but just as importantly, she developed the social and emotional skills that have prepared her so well for her next chapter. Susha, Mrs. Miriam, Roxy and the entire staff always made Busy Little Bee feel like a warm, loving, and supportive environment. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing that our daughter was surrounded by people who genuinely cared about her and were invested in her development. She was always happy to go to school, which says just about everything you need to know. We're incredibly grateful to everyone at Busy Little Bee for the role they played in these formative years. It's bittersweet to move on, but we couldn't have asked for a better daycare and preschool experience. Highly recommend!

She always came home clean, fed, and happy, and there were never any injuries or health concerns. I couldn't believe how they had my daughter wearing a hat outside and sleeping in a crib--this helped a lot to create good habits at home, too. The daycare is immaculate, and all the toys are in excellent condition. I'm picky about what my daughter eats, and their menu is great--very healthy. I also love that I never had to worry about sending food with her. Most importantly, the teachers are caring and warm. My daughter LOVED them. They have a system where parents aren't really allowed in the main daycare area except on rare occasions. At first I was skeptical about this, but having experienced it the other way at her new daycare, I think it's actually wise. After a short-lived adjustment period (my daughter's pretty social, so this was only 3 days in her case), she basically never cried again. I would carry her to the front gate, and she would all but LEAP into her teacher's arms, so excited to go play inside. I think it helped that the precedent was clear: if you want to go play with your friends, teachers, and toys inside, you have to say bye to your parents. She often didn't even want to leave school when I came to pick her up; she wanted to stay and watch all the other kids get picked up by their parents. And if she saw her teacher walking home, she would beg me to go over so she could interact with her some more. Anyway, we loved Busy Little Bee, and I'm sure you will, too.

My child has grown so much since starting here -- not just socially and emotionally but in his love of learning too. He is very well prepared for school.

No hesitation, no tears at drop-off. As a parent, that tells you everything you need to know. A special thank you to Sophia, Mara, Vika, and Monika for your warmth, care, patience, and love.

Mara, Monica and of course Sofia ('our Sofa') are so professional, attentive, caring, and kind. The new place was recently built and is extremely well-cared for. It is exceptionally clean. Their home cooked meals are always fresh. From the very beginning they were organized and responsive. My girl went through a stage of extremely picky eating but with the staff there she never had a problem eating their nutritious and delicious meals and now she is a great eater. They have many interesting activities for children. We love all amazing art projects she brings home. The preschool (academic) part is above and beyond our expectations. Under their guidance she flourished not only academically but socially and emotionally too. She has become a self- confident little girl. She doesn't have problems singing, dancing, reciting poems in front of all parents during their holiday shows and concerts for parents We highly recommend Friendly Family. There are plenty of day cares in the area but believe us there is no one like them. We couldn't be happier - literally like family. Thank you for taking care of our girl!
