We've recently moved and, sadly, are no longer able to continue our time at Little Seeds, but we will be forever grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter had there. She genuinely loves school, and we truly believe that is in large part because of the creativity, encouragement, and supportive environment that Little Seeds fosters. We are so thankful to Little Seeds for helping create such a positive foundation for her love of learning. I would highly recommend this program to any family looking for a warm, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. We will forever be grateful for the wonderful memories and experiences our daughter had at Little Seeds

The balance of play and developmental projects is good for her age and the large outdoor space with covered area is great to ensure the kids are outside every day, year round.

Our family is grateful to have found Little Seeds.

I would not recommend this facility for child care…read more The majority of the staff don't seem to enjoy children --there is no sense that the teachers actually enjoy children. We found the staff to be rather rigid in their teaching & discipline styles. They don't seem to be able to adapt to a specific child's needs. They are frequently understaffed. Always sending out messages to get parents to "volunteer" to skip school/pick up the kids after they've been dropped off. They offer you "credit" if you do this, but the "credit" is significantly less than their daily rate...so essentially you are paying them so you can watch your own kid?!? And if they don't get enough volunteer pick ups, they'll just close classrooms, meaning you can't come to school/you have to pick up your kid after drop off AND you don't get any compensation at all--you are paying them full price so that you can watch your own child. Heaven help you if your kiddo ends up in a class with one of the director's / teacher's kids. They let those kids run wild and pretty much run the classroom. The directors clearly favor a couple staff members over others. That whole situation is super awkward to be peripherally involved in and observe. It reminds me of mean girls in high school...so awkward and not something to appreciate having to see when I'm paying this much for allegedly professional care givers. The cost of enrollment is astonishingly high, even compared to other facilities. They don't do anything there to justify a higher price point--they don't have better staffing ratios, don't offer more activities or provide better food. On top of that, you are expected to help cater a seemingly endless number of meals for teacher appreciation. The formal "teacher appreciation week" consisted of several breakfasts and lunches and the food requests were bizarrely specific. There are several more times throughout the year that you are expected to help cater meals for staff. Overall, I felt that this facility treats the kids as economic units. Their priority is making money, that's it. The facility is clean. Sometimes they have good teachers, but usually the good ones leave within ~12 mos, likely due to the toxic environment. I have heard from others that the care is better for the babies (like up to 18 mos or so). I don't have experience with that at Goddard.

It was night and day when we started at Learning Tree. The teachers are kind and attentive and keep parents informed. He loved his little Guppy classroom. And when we was older and moved to the Starfish Room, they potty trained him in no time at all. Seriously--we barely had to do anything! He came home trained! When my son got a little older and needed some more assistance with learning, all of the staff has been very helpful, patient and understanding with his accommodations. Now he is in the preschool class at LT, and absolutely ADORES his classroom, his teacher and the activities. Despite the pandemic and the challenges everyone, including LT, has had to endure, he has absolutely thrived. I appreciate LT being so safety and health-conscious during this time. My son has also learned the alphabet, some reading and writing and math. He's seriously a step ahead in all of that and it makes me feel confident that when he starts Kindergarten this year it will be an easy transition. All due to the amazing teacher he had!

It was such a hard process and it took a tough adjustment period. I'm SO thankful to have met Susan at Smart Start PlaySchool. She is so down to earth, friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and just an all around great person. She let me tour their gorgeous home with an incredibly huge play room, adorable entryway, a lovely large kitchen, and a smaller downstairs playroom that was Pinterest perfect. This isn't some lady who randomly has an in-home daycare with a few beat up toys. This is someone who put SO much love and care into such a gorgeous, fun, clean, and safe environment for children to grow and play. It was such a relief to meet people like her and her husband to care for our littlest. She has a passion for child development and knows exactly what she's talking about and knows how important her role is, spending much of the day with people's kids..teaching them and allowing them to learn and grow. I recommend Smart Start Play School to anyone looking for outstanding quality childcare with people they can trust with their most precious babies..I know how hard it is, and I found that myself here.

They provide lunches and snacks, which is a huge help, and the education is amazing! My 4-year-old is more than ready for kindergarten thanks to the learning and support here. Also, they take care of potty training which honestly was the best part the first month he started. The indoor play court is perfect for rainy days, and the outdoor play areas are great. I also love that they take the babies on daily walks through HV park, and the older kids even go on little field trips throughout the year.
