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.

This review is only for the infant center and not for the pre-k/older kids daycare. Went in for a…read more"tour" of the infant center (which consisted of us standing in the doorway and not being shown around) and my husband told me, after we left, that he didn't even want to go inside. There were several babies in this really (kind of unclean) small house, one was just sitting in the highchair looking out the window (broke my heart), another was crying on the floor (also broke my heart) and after several minutes of crying, I made the comment that I just wanted to pick this child up and only this prompted the staff member to pick the baby up and comfort them. I did not see one baby with a toy or play thing. On their website it states that everyone is temperature checked at the door (we were not), and I did not see anyone washing their hands coming in from outside when picking up the babies. There was also a sign above one of the rooms asking people to take their shoes off since babies crawl around,, but all staff was wearing shoes. One of the directors looked extremely unprofessional with loud and garish makeup and facial piercings and she and the other director kept talking over one another. The infant sleeping area honestly reminded me of what a Russian orphanage might look like. From one new mother to the next, I would highly suggest going elsewhere for your infant care needs. I actually broke into tears after we left the premises!

The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly passionate about the children and the parents honestly. My daughter flourished here as the learning is fun and educational, with plenty of hands-on activities and lots of things to take home as memories. By the age of 3, she knew all of her ABCs, could point out any letter, numbers and started learning how to write her name. I loved the daily updates and photos I got. The teachers also took the time to understand my childs needs and interests, and if any changes happened at home, they ensured to help with them at school the best they could. I couldn't have asked for a safer, better school to help keep my baby safe and get her a jump start on school.

They're about "the whole child" and not of the philosophy of simply a "day-care"; but truly invest in the learning, social skills and overall best well being of all of their children. Their staff is amazing and give each and every child the individual attention that we, as parents, hope that our children get. Their facility is consistently clean, and their classrooms are large and spacious. If you've done your research and looked into other pre-schools (as we did...and quite extensively), you'll know exactly what I'm referring to. Bravo Teacher Ann, and her loving staff for investing in OUR next generation and future!!
