He has moved on to TK now but continues to ask when he's going to go back to Olive Tree. We will miss this place and know how important it's been for our little guy. Thank you for everything. Highly recommend for the little ones.

Most importantly, this experience has been consistent. Our daughter knows everyone by name and loves coming over to see them. Other families have become close friends, and once strangers have turned into bffs. In almost three years, we've never had AN issue... that speaks volumes. She learned her ABCs here, she learned to count, and even became quite the artist while @ OT. Although we're sad to see her go and move on to a different setting, we know that in her place, another student will arrive and benefit from this special little community.

Our daughter really learned how to thrive socially and emotionally while attending CEC. From the Otters to the Sea Lions to now the Flying Squirrels--she loves going to school every day. She went from a shy girl who only stayed home with her grandma or nanny to a little girl with friends she looks forward to seeing every day! She actually asks me if she can stay at school the latest possible. Her teachers are in tune with her every emotion and keep us up to date on everything that happened throughout the day. I highly recommend CEC to any family who can and wants to provide a magical experience for their kiddo's early years. We are sad to be graduating next year!

I'll begin by stating the obvious: finding someone to take care of your baby is not easy. I met…read moreLinda when I was pregnant with my first child while taking a walk around the neighborhood. Linda was, by chance (and luck), outside her home. She was friendly and introduced herself and her daycare. Being a FTM, I had no idea that good daycares get booked up quickly, so I didn't bother following up until after my son was born. That was probably one of the bigger mistakes I made as a new mom. When I reached out to enroll my son, her daycare was already full. Through a long and unpleasant process of trial and error, which involved enrolling and taking my son out of three different daycares for a variety of reasons (e.g., high staff turnover, too many illnesses or accidents, napping my then 18 month old at 3pm daily, etc), I finally found a preschool that fit. I wised up with my second child and enrolled my daughter with Linda during my first trimester. Having toured almost every infant care (both larger operations and smaller, in-home ones) and a sizeable number of preschools in the La Crescenta/La Canada/Montrose area, I can say with confidence that enrolling your little one at Miss Linda's Little Sprouts is *the best* choice you can make as a parent for your child. Some highlights of my experience with Miss Linda's Little Sprouts: 1. Linda has decades of experience and is a genuine, kind and friendly individual. She only accepts 4 children max and because of this small ratio, I can see that she's formed trusting bonds with each of the children. My daughter never cries when she goes to daycare, reaching out eagerly for Linda in the mornings. Linda has provided a safe and nurturing environment for my daughter, and I 100% trust her. 2. Linda really works with you as a parent to accommodate your wants and your child's needs. For example, while other infant cares would not allow me to bring food for my child in glass containers, she never had such a policy (trying to limit BPA exposure here!). My daughter has had trouble gaining weight and Linda is diligent in making sure she eats, including taking the time to spoon feed my daughter most of her meals. Linda and I share similar philosophies with respect to sleep/naps; since going to Linda's, my daughter has been able to fall asleep without assistance and generally sleeps through the night. Linda also sends me texts, photos, and/or updates throughout the day. She's also so helpful - my baby bottles and food containers are always washed before pickup! 3. The daycare is *clean*, which is so important to me. While my son was sick basically every other week when he started infant care, my daughter rarely got sick here. 4. Linda runs a fun and age-appropriate program for the kids. They always seem entertained and to be enjoying the various toys she provides. Linda sometimes takes them into her backyard on sunny days for mini water and other outdoor adventures and regularly plans fun art projects for them. She talks and sings with the kids, and my daughter knows and can say many words, including animal names and noises, colors, numbers, etc. Final note regarding the one negative review, this was not representative of my experience at Linda's daycare at all. I am truly so thankful to have my daughter in Linda's care. My daughter was only 5 months old when she started and is now a happy, sweet, and secure toddler - I attribute this, at least in part, to Linda and her care, love, and capabilities as a caregiver.

She cared for my daughter from the time she was just 6 months old, and I couldn't have imagined a better place for her during those precious early years. From day one, Linda extended her warmth and made us feel like family. Her genuine love and compassion created a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter absolutely thrived. The level of care and attention she provides is unmatched due to the small size of each infant group. Each day, she never failed to keep us updated on her growth, milestones, and all the little moments we didn't want to miss. Linda's facility is surgically clean, organized, and filled with toys, books, and other learning materials that engage and support development. What really impressed us was the way Linda fosters creativity, curiosity, and kindness. Our daughter experienced so many "firsts" including art and language. And learned so much that helped her grew into a confident, happy little human. Thank you, Linda, for the peace of mind you've given us and the joy you've brought to her early years. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a trustworthy and compassionate home daycare!

I was overwhelmed and nervous about sending our daughter to daycare for the first time. I toured several facilities and ultimately went with my gut when I chose Tiny Footsteps. A couple things swayed me, number one it's a family-run daycare out of the family home. I think for kids transitioning to daycare for the first time, it feels like an extension of home. Like going to a relative's house. There's windows all around and good air circulation -- several places I toured didn't have much or any natural light. The kids socialize all together and I've seen with our daughter that it's given her an extra bit of emotional intelligence. She learned how to interact with the babies from watching Ms. Sevan, and once our son, her little brother was born, was attuned to being gentle and engaging warmly with him. Similarly hanging out with some of the older kids helped develop her vocabulary and motor skills trying to keep up with them. I think of them like a big pack of cousins the way she talks about them all at home. And one of my favorite parts, is that they make good, home-cooked meals. It's been such a great relief that we take Auva to daycare in the morning and she has two meals and two snacks there that we don't have to plan. She likes their cooking and eating as a group with the other kids has helped her widen her palate. Highly recommend! Our daughter still attends and we're grateful for their care!
