In February, our world turned upside down with a text that our daycare was closing in three days…read more We had no plan, no back-ups, no hope, and I started frantically calling around for options that were reputable with immediate openings. Cris had shared with us her incredible experience at LSP with her daughters, and I crossed my fingers. LSP on Chestnut literally saved us from a terrible situation and had a spot for Evelyn starting in three days. But LSP was so much more than daycare. It was a place where Evelyn was loved and cared for by people who really loved her. In the six months she's been at LSP, she's thrived. She's grown her vocabulary, developed so many skills, became obsessed with babies and purses and uses sign language at home. Every scratch, reported. Every snack, documented. Every activity, photographed. The communication eases my anxiety every single day as a working mama. But she has received the best childcare experience at LSP. Ms. Julie, Ms. Anna, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Claudette, Ms. Stephanie, they've all be wonderful and cared so deeply about our daughter's health and happiness. I'm so thankful for LSP!

My son has been coming here for the last year and a half almost 2 years and both he and I love LSP!…read moreThe curriculum is great, classroom sizes are just the right size, the teachers and staff are great-Ms. Nicole is the latest addition and she is just a day of sunshine! Every month there is a different theme and it gets explored everyday in different ways. I really enjoy and appreciate the daily picture and text updates on how my son is doing. This place is really top-notch!

Our son has been here since he was 16 months, he's now almost 3. He's potty trained (big thanks to…read morethem). He's well mannered. He cleans up after himself... and my wife & I truthfully didnt really teach him most of that stuff. Now we did encourage the same behaviors at home and we did listen to his teachers and communicated with them to be sure we were all on the same page, but it's mostly all been taught to him at this school. 5/5 highly recommend and would do it again

My daughter is now in…read moresecond grade and I thought her memories of preschool would fade, but she still reminisces about her time at Kids First and how much fun she had. She has been well prepared for school and finds she previously studied many of the topics in pre-K in a creative and fun mannor that helped her remember the information. We miss Leah and all of the teachers. We were lucky to find such a wonderful place to start for our daughter's educational journey.

They are so attentive to my child's needs even in a full classroom and have been able to maintain a normal schedule as if my child were at home with me. I love getting pictures of my child throughout the day and they even do some cute crafts in the infant classroom which are so special and fun to keep! We love this daycare and its teachers!

We feel so blessed to have our child attending Little Sunshine's on Chestnut. Our child has been…read morethere for about 14 months, and we couldn't be happier. Each teacher we've had has cared so much for them and takes care of them as they are one of their own. Our child has learned more than I could ever teach them in the year attending there and drop off is a breeze every day. The curriculum for even the infant class is wonderful and they send you home with art projects every week. The playground has just been completely remodeled as well. I'm not sure you'll find a better place to help take care of your babies - going back to work was hard, but I felt at peace knowing how well they were looking after them.

If I could give a separate score for the front office people vs the actual teachers, I would! The…read moreteachers were fantastic and lovely gals, who we loved working with and were great to our child. The front office gals wanted to treat us like something they found on the bottom of their shoe. When there was confusion over an issue with them, they just wanted to belittle, instead of working with us; even though we'd paid all tuition weeks ahead of time. They just wanted to keep reiterating that they had a waiting list, basically letting us know that we meant nothing to them. Just for having to deal with those two awful people (Lisa and Connie), I'd highly recommend you take your child somewhere else!
