We have been at Little Lambs the past 2 years and absolutely love it! We are so thankful we found…read morethis gem of a preschool! We have attended multiple preschools before and this is our favorite!! The teachers are warm and welcoming and create a wonderful learning environment for our kids. I completely trust them with my children and know that they look after them as they would their own. They truly care and treat each of the kids so well! They teach the children a lot of wonderful Bible lessons and seem to be more in-depth than other Christian preschools we've attended. They have a small outdoor playground - completely sufficient for the class sizes/times and also utilize the gym inside for the kids to play and run which is a great blessing especially with the weather here in Iowa. They also have a lot of events during the month - and change up often - with visits to the library, chapel time, fire department visits, local police department visits, various professionals coming to their classroom (dentists, etc.) to talk of their work, Donuts with Dad, Muffins with Mom and holiday parties. The children rotate bringing snack, which they also get to bring something special from home to show their friends and have "special helper" duties during that day such as feeding the classroom fish and guinea pig, etc. There is an abundance of activity going on that keeps the kids excited about learning and looking forward to special times. They have monthly themes and change up their activities often. There is always something new (centers, tub toys, decorations) at the preschool. They focus on specific letters for the week and include activities and programs associated with that. They also have opportunities to give to the local food bank and help other families at Christmas time which helps the children see beyond their situation also. They also have classroom guinea pigs which children can sign up to care for over the weekend in their own home. This can give some children a "pet" experience without the full time responsibility of caring/providing for a pet. You can drop off the children at the entrance with a staff member and they will take them down to their classroom and wash their hands etc. That can be super convenient depending on your children, especially with little babies/siblings in tow also. This is the same for pick up, which again can be super helpful with siblings and weather etc. The teachers also share a brief summary of all of the things the kids did for the day and also have a website where they share the pictures from the week. This is a great addition to a great program! We have found the tuition and hours to be comparable to ones in the area, but you get so much more than what you pay for here - the extra layers of love and concern that are priceless when it comes to our children. While no place is perfect in this world, we have found Little Lambs and their staff to be as wonderful as possible!! We truly can't think of anyway that they could improve, as they are often seeking feedback and ways to improve. We highly recommend this preschool to any and all of our friends who have children in this age group and would recommend it for you also!
