When my wife and I were looking for a daycare to place our young son, we found ourselves at…read moresomething of an impasse, due to part to our experiences. She grew up in a home daycare ran by her grandmother, and appreciated the relationships her grandmother developed with the children that were truly loving. I attended a traditional facility based program that was more classroom-based and therefore better equipped in some ways, but far less personal. Most of the places we visited in Delaware fell firmly into one of these two categories. When we found Little Stars, it quickly felt like home. Ginny Cahill, the director, answered all of our questions with knowledge, experience, and care. Her mother is the director at the other location, located off Kirkwood Highway, and prior to that ran a home daycare for many years. The values of the home daycare experience shine through into everything Little Stars does. However, it comes tied with the manpower and resources of a somewhat larger program. Inside, there are classroom "pods" that have walls on three sides, but on the fourth corner connect openly to a center area. As a result the children and staff members are all connected as well, providing many opportunity for sharing experiences and friendship building. The teachers know all the students, not only their own. My son was enrolled at Little Stars for 3 1/2 years. The strong bonds that he developed with the staff members and other children could best tell you the story of how satisfied we are with this facility. He was well cared for and engaged throughout his time there, and will miss it significantly as he moves on to "big kid school". Both Little Stars locations are well-run, organized, and safe places to enroll your children. The teachers take a strong interest in the lives of the children, and better than most daycares, prioritize learning alongside play. I have trusted my son's well-being to them for quite some time, and will continue to utilize their service for needed vacation and in-service days. If you are looking for care for your child, I strongly suggest you check them out.

When I was searching for daycares Little Stars was my number one choice and a couple reasons why. I…read morewas recommended to go there by a co worker, Its family owned, my sons teacher is awesome and not to mention so are the other teachers who just stop in the classroom throughout the day to help out and they have good childcare rates. I also appreciate the fact that they hid my spot for enrolling until the end of the week. They didn't pressure me into coming to their daycare at the time of enrollment. In all they are good people and I trust the teachers and staff with my son who I love dearly. Don't hesitate just sign your kid up he or she will be in good hands! sincerely TB:)

Now for the new principal and , assisted Principal, administrators are a different story. Last Tuesday my middle school child pick up his siblings which he have done before.He graduated from Brader in June. It was an incident with my middle School child did something to his elementary school brother. The Principal said the constable, the Dean, the administrator and the assistant Principal was all called. I was told 3 adults from the school walked my children home. No on never called me or anyone on my children contact list even after the situation I was never contacted. Not by phone, email, class dojo. They never asked my children what is your mother phone number to make me aware of what happenen. But claim they was concerned for my children safety. So why not take them back to the school and reach thier parent. Now so how they access my 11 grader information when he hasn't went to that school in over 6 years. Now I have personally talked on the phone with my children teachers who called me on my phone from their schools. The Principal said " I rather over do then under do" so instead of her contacting me or my children emergency contact she called the police on my 11 year old son lied and told the police she had no way to contact me. They get out of school at 350 it's was around 530 when I emailed the principal about the situation because she still didn't contact me on what happened ridiculous. She emailed me back and called me the next morning. It's sad that all those adults was involved and not one I mean not one thought to call me their mother on what happened or to even ask the teachers for my phone , number or even my children for it is again unacceptable. Calling the police on a 11 year black young male is unnecessary, in this era calling the police can go very bad in two second. Which I don't appreciate it especially when I should have been informed. So the principal model is to call the cops on a child instead of descaling the situation or again I keep stressing calling the paren. I have been having children go to Brader since 2020 so for the Principal to lie to the cops and herself saying she had no contact information for me is a lame excuse to jeopardize a child to be arrested or detained for no reason. Lord knows we all miss Principal Gallagher. I hope they learn to over do by calling the parents if they really thing the child is in danger or if anything is going on with the children a parent should be contacted not reaching out to another minor if my high school child isn't old enough to sign them out of school then he not old enough to give the police his number instead of mines. Oh yes they found my sons number but not mines make sense my name and number is on every form that is ever signed for any of my children.

We felt welcomed from the moment we began our in-class tour. I was able to see the 3-4 year old class in action and once they explained the co-op experience in detail, I knew it was the right fit for our family. Being a co-op, the school requires parent involvement in the classroom and to serve on a committee. I found the involvement to be one of the best experiences of my life. It's been such a joy to watch my child and his school friends learn and grow. I thought at first it'd be challanging to work and volunteer with the school, but I found a way to make it work and it was worth every sacrifice. My son absolutley loved his first year of pre-k with Mrs. O'Donnell, and we look forward to next year with Mrs. Emerson. The teachers are wonderful, positive, enthusiastic, and love every child like thier own. I have felt very comfortable having my son in this learning environment from the start.

You're not going to get that kind of teaching from a book or a 1 day Joanne Fabrics sewing class. It also helps she is hilarious and we often laugh as we sew.
