We started our daughter in this daycare at the start of Jan 2026. However, we began looking for…read moreanother daycare because they decided between Christmas and New Years (giving basically 2 days notice) to change their hours from closing at 6 to closing at 5:30 and with our jobs we needed a later pickup time. They were willing to work with us on later days as needed since no other daycares that are opened until 6 had availability at the time.    We ended up using them for 7 weeks, and in that time did not have a good experience.  1. My daughter was there at age 4-5 months, she is not a fussy, colicky, sleepy baby. At home she would normally sleep about 45 minutes to an hour between feeding and is usually awake for about 2 hours.  However, at daycare she would sleep 7-8 hours out of the 10-11 hours she was there. They said she'd sleep for 3 hours, wake up to eat, be changed and back asleep for another 2-3 hours within 45 minutes to an hour most days. I waited over a week to make sure it wasn't a growth spurt or something before bringing it up to them. When I did they said "I don't know what you want that's just her schedule here", "she's just a grumpy baby", "I know you're a first time mom and everything can freak you out and worry you but that's just how it is" I eventually had to say flatly find a way to not allow this much sleep, it affects her night sleep and it's affecting her development because she's sleeping all the time and not learning.  2. I'm breast feeding and I would bring milk to the daycare. At first, I brought just 1 gallon ziplock bag full of her bags of milk. The daycare was supposed to let me know when the milk was low. The second week I got a message in the their app first thing in the morning saying that she's out of milk, luckily my mom was able to bring them some. I understand mistakes happen, so I started bringing 2, 1 - gallon sized bags so that when they finished one gallon bag they could let me know and this wouldn't happen again. However, it happened 2 more times, so a total of 3 times in 7 weeks. . 3. The morning manager parks in the stripes next to the handicap space. My mom needs that extra space and when this was brought to the managers attention, she flatly refused to move her car or offer a solution to assist saying with attitude (on more than one occasion) "I park there and I'm not moving...if you have an issue talk to my director." She also refused to standup and have a conversation with my mom, just stayed on the floor (she wasn't doing anything with the kids at the time) on her phone and gave attitude. The director reinforced allowing her to park there, but she did offer to help assist my mom if needed. 4. Every morning at drop off the staff was on their phone scrolling through videos instead of paying attention to the children.    I waited to write this review until we'd been at our new daycare for 2 weeks. This was to make sure that her changes at the new daycare weren't just a fluke but were consistent.   At Little Loves, when we would come to pick her up, she would hardly ever smile or show any emotion until we got her into the car seat. She was not really "talking" to the staff such as, if they talked to her and told her bye or something she would just have RBF. At home, when we laid her into her crib for her naps she fought it for 10-20 minutes crying and screaming (which she didn't do before daycare). I didn't expect a lot of pictures, but we would barely get any pictures, maybe 1 in 2 weeks at Little Loves   At the new daycare she sleeps for just over two hours total a day. When we pick her up, she is awake, alert, often babbling and chilling, even if she is in her crib (because the teacher may be busy with other kids). And when the teacher tells her bye, she smiles and babbles at her. When my husband picks her up, she's all smiles immediately, not just when she gets to her car seat. We ask how she was each day and if she was fussy at all, and they nearly always say she's not fussy unless maybe she's hungry or gassy but otherwise she's great. Now when we lay her in crib for her naps at home, she's asleep within 1 minute and no fussing. We get 4+ pictures a day of her doing tummy time, 'talking' to other babies, story time, music etc.  I do not recommend Little Loves Daycare to anyone.

They take infants to about 6 years, if I am not mistaken. They operate from what looks like a gym with many rooms. And the center of the gym has different divided up sections for all ages. Although they have a kitchen, they do not provide food, they simply warm up what you bring. They also use class dojo to keep in touch with teachers! Amazing amazing amazing!

I should have taken her out within the first two weeks(and I am not the type to switch daycares constantly). Almost every child looks unhappy here.... If any cause for doubt, take a look first thing in the morning when the poor kiddos are dreading the rest of their day. Please please please, if you care about the development and well-being of your child, do not place them in the care of the people here

She asks to help me around the house (cooking, making her own lunch, sweeping, mopping, cleaning mirrors, watering plants, taking care of her dog and fish) At Salado Montessori, they learn through physically getting involved in the activity at hand,(everyday fundamentals like washing hands, getting dressed (my daughter learned to tie her shoes in a day), motor skills like opening and closing boxes and organizing blocks based on size, music (beat, tone, instruments), sounding out words, addition and subtraction, days of the week). She wakes up and gets dressed on her own, brushes her own teeth and takes pride in it all because it gives her a sense of accomplishment. This school is teaching her how to learn, not what to learn. Salado Montessori has created an amazing community, parents willingly volunteer their time. They periodically have volutuneer days, where the parents and children can be a part of bettering the school together (i.e.planting gardens, reorganizing the classroom). The teacher, Ms. Webb for lack of a better word, is AMAZING! She is patient, observes well and interacts without hindering the learning process. She is organized, happy and cares deeply for each individual child. She allows parents to observe the learning process throughout the school year and meets with us one on one to discuss the growth of our child. She gives ideas to me about how I can continue to foster growth throughout the home and how to speak to my daughter to further her own excitement about learning. I truly believe Ms. Webb helps my individual child grow in every aspect of her life, and is not just a teacher filling a time slot during the school day. Also, this school was one of the only schools around that allowed for a half day, full day, and before and after child care programs. I can not say enough good things about this school.

She called me later that day and said I found the perfect daycare she's been doing this for 20 plus years and it's her and her daughter. She said I told her y'all story and she said she has an opening. I am so grateful for Mrs. Moss and her family.

My only wish is that there was no screen time at all, but I know with weather in Texas and the kids all over, it's gonna happen. But I love that during the summer they do field trips and camps and I don't have to worry about getting them to and from. They pick up after school and it's not restricted to one elementary. They are also open a lot of the long holiday periods too which helps with work. But mainly, it's the fact that they seem to genuinely like and care for all the kiddos. Value wise it's very reasonable compared to where I came from in RR as well.
