My daughter is always well fed and cared for, and she genuinely enjoys coming in and seeing the kind staff at this school. This is a teaching school, not a stick your children in front of the tv kind of place. They leave notes about her day and Ms. Jackie is so great with the kids! I can't recommend this school enough.

what a horrid place. where do I even start. I'm not one of those crazy helicopter moms I usually…read morejust don't say anything but enough is enough. first of all I asked to even just meet his teacher they said no. I don't know her name in 4 months never laid eyes on her. they wouldn't let me bring a water or anything for him. i packed a small blanket for him and after 4 months they told me I couldn't pack that for him and that it needs to be a stuffy. so the next day i bring in a stuffy and she says "is this for show and tell tomorrow" i said "no its his stuffy since you said he couldn't have a blanket " she said "well this had to stay here all week or go home" which seems ridiculous. They said "well don't have room for a blanket" like what?? it fits in his backpack. His dad dropped him off Monday morning (we are separated) and I was going to pick him up Monday afternoon to start my week and so he brought my sons blanket because that's how we trade off and they said "ok well do it just this once". Also she told me he had some "anger management problems" come to find out my 2 year old had gotten stung by a bee and they didn't even notice. I caught two of the staff members aggressively talking to and treating the kids. Also the door is basically always unlocked when I come. "Number one academic preschool in the country" yeah right

They keep me informed as to how her day goes, and make me feel as if they are truly "caregivers" not just someone watching my baby. I will continue to keep her enrolled in this preschool until she is able to move to elementary.

Sandra(owner/teacher) might be the worst person I have ever met in my life. I wish I listened to my…read moreintuition about this school. I have the worst mom guilt for ignoring it. She yelled at me in front of my daughter, other children, and another teacher. She questioned my character and called me a liar ( I am a rule follower and have never been spoken to like that in my life). If she is going to lose it on an adult the way she did on me then I am absolutely terrified how she treats/ disciplines children behind closed doors. She did tell my husband she was in the wrong but point blank said she was not apologizing to me. She is an intimidating, unprofessional, manipulative person and I am shocked that she is still running a school for children. She is power hungry and controlling which is probably why she likes being around children. Very cold, militant, and not a warm environment. Does not respect HIPPA. I wish I had read the yelp reviews before I paid for this school. Please do your children a favor and seek childcare elsewhere. Very much a mental SAFETY concern for the children at this school. My wish is that this helps another family to not feel how I am feeling.

When I was pregnant with my first son almost 4 years ago I did diligent research and visited every…read morereputable preschool in this city. I chose little scholars for the following reasons: 1. Cleanliness: Probably my biggest concern as I am sure most parents is the cleanliness of the facility your child will be spending the majority of his/her time. When you walk into this school you can literally smell how clean it is. The classrooms are always neat and tidy and I always seem to see the teachers cleaning something :). 2. The owner: I would have to disagree with the other reviews in regard to this preschools owner. It is already nerve-racking to send your child off for an entire day with strangers and expect them to take care of your child the way you would. In my opinion I think that you as a parent would want someone who stands firm on their school rules, their staff, and the well- being of the children. I wanted someone who was stern and had concrete rules which is what you get at this school. I have peace of mind sending my children to school and knowing they are safe. I believe that the owner's number one priority is the well-being of the children. 3. Education: My oldest child is approaching 4. His vocabulary is amazing, he recognizes at least 10 to 15 words while we read together, and he writes his first and last name. These are only a few examples. The teachers are educated and reliable. I have become familiar with all of the teachers and I can say from my experience they have all been wonderful. This is a wonderful school and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Over the years, I have seen firsthand the love, care, and dedication that the owners, staff, and…read morefamilies have poured into this school. It truly is a small community where everyone supports one another and genuinely cares about the children. This was the only preschool where my 13-month-old daughter got off my lap during our tour and immediately started exploring. That alone told me she felt safe and comfortable. She also developed a love of vegetables because of the school's focus on healthy eating. When she was teething, her teachers offered her frozen peas to help soothe her gums, and to this day they are still one of her favorite snacks! Most importantly, she absolutely loved going to school every day. The teachers created such a fun, nurturing environment that she was always excited to learn, play, and see her friends. Seeing her so happy and eager to go each morning gave me complete confidence that we had chosen the right preschool.

She is always happy, shows us things at home that prove she's learning and gives us great confidence that we've enrolled her here. The HiMama app is super useful for tracking what she does everyday and we couldn't be more impressed. I'm also greatful for the food they serve here as it is very healthy and carefully selected. I will keep my daughter here as long as possible.
