I came across the magical garden (on Yelp) and had an instant amazing feeling about this place. Veronica (the owner) responded to my email immediately and invited us for a tour. The moment we walked into her home my husband and I felt SO welcomed! Even our son. He immediately fell in love with her. We have now been going here for 10 months and our son LOVES coming here. He adores Raquel, Veronica, (her mom), and the other ladies that help out!! Truly these woman are such a blessing. I love the fact that they are outdoors all day because all my son wants to do is "outside." It's also amazing that she sends pictures every time he is there to show us what activities they are doing and just pure joy in the pictures.

He was so sensitive and afraid of people before, now he turns out super active and cheerful. I really appreciate it. Plus, Veronica has really good taste, she is a fashion artist!

My husband and I were looking at multiple daycares in our area knowing that we'd have to go back working full-time. The top things we were looking for was a place that had a large enough space for kids to roam but small enough that it feels intimate and homey, a place that was safe and clean, and most importantly, somewhere where you knew the staff cared for the kids. Le Petit is exactly that and more. Zari and the teachers were always so attentive. Every single time we'd pick up our daughter, she would always be smiley and happy. Thank you Le Petit!

The day we went to meet Karine and visited the daycare we immediately felt a sense of relief that we had found the perfect spot to care for our little one. My son is now 3 1/2 years old and is still attending - he just completed the preschool program. He has grown into a smart, loving and healthy boy thanks to Karine and her staff. My family and friends are always shocked when they see my son eat his vegetables and request for broccoli! We owe his positive development to this amazing place. Every day we pick him up he's always so happy. Teacher Rena has seen him grow since he was a baby and treats him as if he were her own. Teacher Emma receives him with such warmth and kindness every morning. Irina is Karine's mom and she makes the most delicious food for the kids, you often smell the wonderful home cooked meals during drop offs. I can't recommend this place enough! They keep the place so clean, have wonderful activities, celebrate birthdays and holidays, enjoy water games during the summer, hold music and exercise classes. As a first time mom, I'm so thankful for the help, support, guidance and recommendations Karine has given me every step of the way and throughout each milestone my son has accomplished. And as a working mom, there is no better relief than to trust my son is in a safe and loving environment for the entire day. We love LPDC and are so lucky we have them in our lives! Now - how do we stop our kid from growing so he can stay here even longer? :)

There are places you think…read moreback to and think wow what a great place for a child and then there are places you're like what was I thinking. We were one of the first people to send our son when they opened. Sima and Zia are very......clinical. Sima may be a very loving person but it's frankly hard to say. She seems very stern and was often difficult to talk to. She didn't chitchat and I've only seen her pick up children rarely. There are these sheets you pick up when you pick up your child that are like his report card for the day and often, I'd ask- how'd he do? In a chit-chatty way and Sima would say - read the paper - without much emotion. Zia tends to sit at a desk near the door and frankly was more friendly. There was a constant turnover of caretakers it seemed and a LOT of kids (this was precovid). My son got sick a lot and we ended up pulling him bc he had like 5 infections in like 2 months. The place comes across as a business which it is but you'd hope for more emotion given that it's based around kids. Mmmm good luck with this place. I see the glowing reviews and the negative ones and I believe the latter just a bit more.

From her very first day, she was incredibly happy and hasn't stopped talking about her new teachers and friends. She is always talking about Ms Emily, Ms Daisy, Ms Vanessa and Ms Fatima! They're all such wonderful, caring teachers. What I love most is the communication--the teachers send daily updates and pictures of everything, from their fun activities to potty and diaper changes. It gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work. The facility itself is always spotless and so thoughtfully designed; my daughter is obsessed with the cool indoor rope net and all the fun play areas. We are so grateful to have found a school where our daughter feels safe, loved, and genuinely excited to go every morning!

I didn't get shown around the facilities, I had to ask to be taken to each specific area. I wasn't given any information at all until asked. I wasn't offered a price structure or informed about waitlists or half days/full days or potty training requirements or pick up times or if lunch was included or class ratios until I asked. No information about parental communication apps. There were a lot of pockets of silence. When asked about what their daily schedule is like, I was told "We have it posted over there." The kids looked happy and the teachers seemed sweet. This place is super convenient for me and I would have 100% sent my son here if the tour was better. I just felt like I was intruding and the director was just waiting for me to leave so she could get on with her day. So awkward.

She always came home clean, fed, and happy, and there were never any injuries or health concerns. I couldn't believe how they had my daughter wearing a hat outside and sleeping in a crib--this helped a lot to create good habits at home, too. The daycare is immaculate, and all the toys are in excellent condition. I'm picky about what my daughter eats, and their menu is great--very healthy. I also love that I never had to worry about sending food with her. Most importantly, the teachers are caring and warm. My daughter LOVED them. They have a system where parents aren't really allowed in the main daycare area except on rare occasions. At first I was skeptical about this, but having experienced it the other way at her new daycare, I think it's actually wise. After a short-lived adjustment period (my daughter's pretty social, so this was only 3 days in her case), she basically never cried again. I would carry her to the front gate, and she would all but LEAP into her teacher's arms, so excited to go play inside. I think it helped that the precedent was clear: if you want to go play with your friends, teachers, and toys inside, you have to say bye to your parents. She often didn't even want to leave school when I came to pick her up; she wanted to stay and watch all the other kids get picked up by their parents. And if she saw her teacher walking home, she would beg me to go over so she could interact with her some more. Anyway, we loved Busy Little Bee, and I'm sure you will, too.

Mara, Monica and of course Sofia ('our Sofa') are so professional, attentive, caring, and kind. The new place was recently built and is extremely well-cared for. It is exceptionally clean. Their home cooked meals are always fresh. From the very beginning they were organized and responsive. My girl went through a stage of extremely picky eating but with the staff there she never had a problem eating their nutritious and delicious meals and now she is a great eater. They have many interesting activities for children. We love all amazing art projects she brings home. The preschool (academic) part is above and beyond our expectations. Under their guidance she flourished not only academically but socially and emotionally too. She has become a self- confident little girl. She doesn't have problems singing, dancing, reciting poems in front of all parents during their holiday shows and concerts for parents We highly recommend Friendly Family. There are plenty of day cares in the area but believe us there is no one like them. We couldn't be happier - literally like family. Thank you for taking care of our girl!
