This review Is long overdue, but I cannot overstate the…read moreprogress that my toddlers have made here at Little Treasures. My daughter was 2 years old when she started but very behind with speech due to isolation from the lockdowns/mandates. This Preschool has performed wonders as she is now talking up a storm and singing her heart out with all the adorable songs they learn. She even teaches them to her baby brother at home! It is literally the most heart-warming experience to see my babies suddenly singing in unison. Aside from education (she can count to 30 now), she has developed super close friendships here and social skills at such a young age! My baby boy was 10 months old when he started. I felt completely secure with him at Little Treasures right away, as the child care is top-notch. I do not exaggerate when I say these teachers are truly loving and genuine, not to mention experienced. Every single one of them. Miss Michelle really knows how to find the good ones. Also, Director and Teachers alike have impeccable memory and organization. That's big for me since I'm very detail-oriented! It's been wonderful being able to depend on this daycare/Preschool. P.S. I watched as Miss Michelle put her heart and soul into this new location, perfectly planning all the different stations that intertwine learning with play. Also, the outdoor playground is akin to an amusement park as my daughter is always begging to stay. You know it's a good sign when your children race to put their own shoes on, ready to go to Preschool! Thank you Little Treasures for being such a special place in our children's lives

I've seen Growth in his development and growth in his personality. The teachers are the kindest people I've ever got to know and work so great with the kids. The curriculum is set and consistent and it shows when my 2 year old comes home singing the songs he'd leaned! He's singing the days of the week and counting to 20! My kid delayed in speech and Michelle was the only person to support and guide me to give my son the help he needs to communicate better and develop better speech. The teachers also helped him with regulating his emotions through helpful communication and now he uses more words than I expected him to use. I'm proud of my son of who he's growing into because of the dedicated support from all the teachers. I trust these teachers with my son's life and I couldn't ask for a better family to help me support my son.

My girls always remember their first class with her where she read them a book called "Ish". It was a special book about how things don't have to look perfect to be perfectly made they just need to look "flower-ish" or "house-ish". It was a great way to allow the children to understand that their art could be uniquely theirs.

I am really surprised to see a negative review about this daycare.. in response to this "claim" I have some things to say. They have never been understaffed. Parents are supposed to provide their child a water bottle since covid. It seems this parent wasn't prepared. Things happen at daycares with other children. My child has got some bumps and given some bumps but that's expected when you have so many toddlers learning how to control their emotions.. however I have always been fully informed of what is going on and what happened. Sometimes parents need to understand that their children are not perfect and it's not always "everyone else." This daycare literally has an app that allows you to see every time the children are fed, have potty breaks, read a story.. etc. the children are fed healthy meals and even have their own garden to get things. Heather has refunded us before without asking. She is definitely not trying to "take anyone's money" she takes pride in what she does and loves the children like her own. She has helped me out immensely and have taught me things that we use everyday. ie..There is no "being bad" in her center, it's you made a red choice, how can we make it a green choice? Also there have not been multiple "incidents" at this day care. If anything she over reports herself to make sure she is fully compliant. Do your own research visit the center and get to know the staff and see how the children are loving their school. If there were all these other parents complaining I'm sure their would be more negative reviews.

He knew his letters, his numbers, the sounds of letters, how to share, and how to work out problems using words versus tears or violence. The staff is well trained, well educated, and most importantly, incredibly loving and gives each child the attention he or she deserves and needs. They serve lunch each day, which is a bonus for the busy parent! They take a few field trips each year, cook, paint, play, read, and have a great time every day. Now my younger son is going through the program and will graduate (yes, they have an adorable graduation ceremony) this year. I am thankful every day that we chose this program for our kids. I will miss it terribly when we move on to Kindergarten next year!

Nope. It was a…read morecrowded day, I totally get that. We were there about 2 hours and when we arrived there were no skate trainer assists available to rent. I put my name on a wait list. 20 min later, I noticed many people had returned their skate assists. There were probably 6 of them behind the desk. I probably asked 5x or more if it was our turn on the wait list, every time I was told no. At one point the girl said "you're welcome to walk around out there with your own child" I have a hurt shoulder and a prosthetic hip, otherwise I would've :( Long story short, my son sat on the bench next to the skate rentals, waiting for his turn on the wait list, fighting back tears. In the 45+ min we waited, no one from the wait list ahead of us collected a single skate trainer. And we were repeatedly told we couldn't use one. I definitely understand waiting our turn, but when no one ahead is coming to collect them..... The guy at the skate rental place when we first arrived was super nice tho! But the girls I wasn't impressed with.
