This place hasn't changed a bit and is still such a great center. My husband and I moved outside of 1604 and we have toured other daycares closer to home, but nothing compares to Little Learning Center. So we make the daily commute for this center and it is so worth it. As a teacher, I was also very pleased and very impressed to hear about the new curriculum that they'll be using to help get their kids ready for primary school. Once again, very pleased with the Little Learning Center, their staff, and their child care facility! My husband and I are looking forward to many new memories for the next few years with our baby going here! And if you read my previous review, we're also looking forward to all of the gifts and crafts we'll be receiving from our baby over the next few years! I still have all of my now 10 year old's daycare gifts and crafts from the Little Learning Center. They are some of my most cherished keepsakes. Thanks Millie and staff!

I truly can't say enough how you should not leave your kids here. I was new to the SA area and…read morevisited this school because it had an opening and usually all the schools have wait lists. When we took my son it only lasted a few weeks. Every time I would pick him up he'd be filthy. Nose messy, lunch was all over his shirt, and just dirty! He was constantly sick which made me notice how everything truly wasn't clean. My son was only 12 months old and had a really hard time transitioning. I would do pop in visits to see that my son was really struggling. One day he stopped sleeping in his crib at home (he's been in his crib sorry free since month 3) I decided to investigate. I did a walk in one day and noticed they had been putting my son in a crib to just cry for about 2 hours since they have a full class of toddlers. They told me he was "napping" but he was clearly upset with snot and tears running down his face. There was no blankets or anything in the crib, just a cold plastic crib mattress. I spoke with the director about this problem and she said she would call me if he was having a bad day so that he wouldn't be crying for hours a day. Well the very next day I pick him up and they told me he'd been crying for 8 full hours AND NO ONE CALLED. I immediately withdrew care. It breaks my heart that they can treat these little babies like this. If you're reading this you should really think about finding a new place that truly cares for kids.

As a parent of 3 children, with one of them in school already, I needed a place for the other 2…read morewhile I was working. I couldn't leave them with my mother because she keeps herself busy and it would be hard for her trying to keep and eye on them and as she would put it, "They drive me up the wall!" That's o.k. though; I love my mother and I understand kids are kids and they do get into things. About 2 years ago she found this day care, Silver Spoon's Pre-School about My gathering from the kids are that they enjoy the place and a good part about it is my oldest child, who's already in school, gets picked up by Silver Spoon's from his school and they take him to the day care center. So all my 3 kids are being watched over while I'm still at work. My understanding is when my oldest child is brought to the day care center, he can finish his homework or he can play with the other children doing other types of learning activities. When I dealt with the staff in trying to enroll my kids they were professional and respectful. I really liked how they went over their policies with me and made me feel comfortable about leaving my kids their with them. An example of one of their policies is that "NO ONE" other than the parent they deal with can pick them up. So to me, even if my "ex" tries to pick them up claiming to be their father they will not let him take them and one of the employees will call me to verify any changes on picking up my kids and if they can't get a hold of me, well they'll just keep them their until I verify or until I pick them up. I love that! Overall; I love the that my kids enjoy this day care, because that's my number one priority. If they didn't like it I would have taken them out long time ago. Secondly, the employees are professional and informative. But I would have to say most importantly for me (my opinion), is the safety and security of my children. While I'm away from them and working, I know my kids are safe and being well taken care of by good employees and If ever they need to to contact me for any reason, I'm only a phone call away.

My son has been at MSCDC for nearly two years now, and we absolutely LOVE this facility and its…read morestaff. Ms. Gloria is an incredible director, and always ready to listen and help with any concerns. My son had previously attended Country Home (Medical Center) and La Petite (Alamo Heights), but since attending MSCDC, he has really grown by leaps and bounds! In the two-year-old class, his teacher, Ms. Cindy, was nothing short of phenomenal! She genuinely cares deeply for the development and all-around well being of her students- plus, my son picked up potty training pretty quickly in this class, and I give the teachers due credit for that! Since moving into the 3+ class, my child has continued to blow me away with his knowledge, kindness, manners, cooperativeness, and abilities. At least two or three times a week he will tell me a fact or piece of knowledge that shocks me and when I ask where he learned that, he usually replies "I learned it at school". His teachers, Ms. Hilda and Ms. Samantha spend so much time on educating and challenging the children, even at their young age, to think through problems and scenarios. He is gaining critical thinking skills and it's so amazing to watch his mind form. This isn't just a daycare. MSCDC really builds a strong foundation for education and community/social interaction. And my son is happy- most importantly. He loves all of "his teachers," which, to him, includes the entire staff of MSCDC. As a non-religious person, I admit, I was somewhat hesitant to enroll my son in a daycare housed within a church, but over the years, I have found that Madison Square Presbyterian Church is actually a really wonderful, open-minded and open-hearted environment. While some activities are faith-based (VBS for a week in the summer, the birth of Jesus story at Christmas time, etc.), most of his time at daycare is not focused on religion. I appreciate this very much. He is made aware of the fundamentals and figures of Christianity, but it is not forced upon him or emphasized heavily. This has the benefit of teaching him excellent universal values without delving too deeply into the religious specifics. The school is secure, and I feel safe leaving my most precious cargo with them each day. There are two code-locked doors, (the outside door is usually unlocked during drop-off and pick-up hours, but the inner door to the classrooms is always locked), and your child must be checked in and out each day by guardians' fingerprint. MSCDC is a very kind, loving, friendly and enriching environment, and I am SO HAPPY to watch my son grow & learn at this facility. I recommend this facility to everyone I know, and now I'm recommending it to the Yelp community of those I don't know! We love MSCDC!

He runs to the door in the morning and waves goodbye to me without hesitation! And he's just as happy when I see him again in the afternoon. I know he's being cared for, staying busy and learning things all day! We love seeing his daily log and the fun activities he did. The directors and teachers are a parent's dream. My son had a speech therapist that would visit (pre-covid) and she once told me this center was one of the best she had seen. She would constantly rave about his teacher at the time, Ms. Jessica, and how she went above and beyond in helping my son with his speech delay so happily and eagerly. I'm a teacher as well and can tell you every worker puts their heart and soul into their job. It's always hard to be away from your kids so long, but being at Sunshine Montessori gives me peace of mind that he's in good hands.
