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.

We love Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Morgan in the infant room - they're so great with the babies and give them lots of love and attention. When your baby is reaching for them when you drop them off in the morning it truly is the best feeling knowing they feel welcomed and loved. My 2 year old just moved to another room and the teacher, Ms. Bailey is doing such a great job communicating with us about her progress and potty-training updates. Every evening I ask my daughter if she had a good day (she's brutally honest) and almost every single day she says YES and that she likes her teacher. Not much beats that!!

Kids First is an amazing program that our family was sad to graduate from. 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.

Our kids have been attending LSP - Cardinal for three years. We have been in several classrooms and…read morewith several teachers. Across all classrooms the friendliness of the staff, and quality of the childcare has been consistent. The environment is safe (lots of precautions are in place) and transparent to parents. It is not the cheapest option around, but it is within the parameters of what I would consider reasonably priced, and I believe it's a good value for the services received. My kids have made many friendships there which is a huge parent bonus.

It's definitely a second home - welcoming and full of energy. We're so thankful for all the love and care that everyone gives day after day.

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!

I have had nothing but problems with this daycare receiving my communication and expectations when…read moreit comes to my son. He has been sick numerous times since starting here back last October. After a complaint was filed with the health department due to not reporting illnesses as well as reporting illnesses to parents they are under investigation for telling parents a sliver of the truth from the health department or make up blatant lies because it's what Neena, the owner, would prefer. Not the actual guidelines. My son had been bitten five times in three months with nothing being done to fix this issue. Apparently it's been "five different children" but I was also told my child is not causing any issues at daycare. After talking with Neena and trying to find a solution another report was made to the state and an investigation was started. Once Neena found out that the report came from me she called me and disenrolled my son from daycare because her feelings were hurt she got caught not taking the proper protocols and procedures in order to protect the child she has at her daycare. She makes it painfully obvious her biggest concern is money, not the children. My son had gotten hand foot and mouth twice, pink eye, multiple GI issues, the flu, and other sickness like colds and such. I cannot stress enough how this daycare will not be respectful of your children or the cleanliness of their building considering how often children get sick and sent home.
