    I initially had trouble scheduling a tour. The team worked to find a time that would accommodate my…read moreschedule. Once scheduled I LOVED the facility. It looks like a clean, organized, and well maintained building. I loved the diversity and friendliness of the team. I wish they provided lunch, but that is the only thing to consider as I finalize my decision. I would highly recommend off my initial experience.

    ****Edited 8/29/26 I have lowered the star by 1 as the…read moreresponse from the owner highlights the lack of accountability on their end. Even from leadership. Truly scary. **** Our longtime daycare closed, and we enrolled our children here. A decision I regret. I would avoid this location. The administrative team is disorganized, communication is poor, and advocating for your child results in being labeled "aggressive," even as staff raise their voices. My 5‑year‑old's teacher waited nearly two weeks to introduce herself, then immediately criticized his behavior in front of him and other children, with no explanation of how they addressed it. Billing was a mess: constant errors, incorrect charges, overpayments, and no accountability. The director threatened to unenroll all three of my kids when I paused payment due to an incorrect amount, which she later confirmed was their mistake. They also fired my middle child's teacher without notifying parents. I only found out because a stranger was holding my son's hand at pickup. No announcement was ever sent. Overall, the lack of professionalism and communication made this an unsafe and unreliable environment.

    Our time with Ms. Shelly has been amazing! Ethan's previous childcare arrangement ended…read moreunexpectedly, so I reached out to Ms. Shelly to see if she had availability. We met the very next day, and it quickly became clear that her program would be a great fit for Ethan. Ms. Shelly maintains an exceptionally clean environment, provides nutritious and delicious meals, encourages positive friendships among the children, and creates opportunities for them to learn through both structured activities and play. One of the many things that warmed my heart is how she celebrates every child's birthday with cupcakes and special recognition. She truly goes out of her way to make each child feel valued and loved. Communication is always excellent, and she keeps records organized and up to date. Most importantly, I have complete confidence that children in her care are safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Ms. Shelly to any family looking for a nurturing and dependable childcare provider

    Shelly is the best childcare provider I have ever met. She differentiates the learning for each…read morechild based upon their age and skill set. She prepares HOMECOOKED food for the kids daily, while paying meticulous detail to any food allergies. They have a set routine and an indoor and outdoor space to play. I have sent my children there since they were 4 months old and it is the best decision I have ever made. Finally, Shelly really loves the kids. She treats them as if they are her own. If you are a first time parent, she will even coach you through some of the new things like how to handle diaper rash and/or ways to help them learn at home. Shelly is a blessing to all within her company. She will spoil your child with love, care & intelligence!

    Anything good is worth waiting for and Gina at Little Lamb Daycare was just that. It took us two…read moreyears before we were able to get in and the wait was 100% worth it. Gina's program here was amazing. Our child couldn't wait to get out the door to see her, he brought home not only the fun times he had but also skills and lessons learned too. Our experience with Little Lamb felt like it was more than just a daycare, due to Gina's personal attention to our child she would provide recommendations and guidance on major things such as potty training, or if she noticed something was off with our son that day. It saddens me to write this review but kids do grow older and that is the ONLY reason we left. We would highly recommend anyone who's looking for a truly personal touch of care for their child to come here. Thanks for the memories Little Lamb Daycare!

    I highly recommend Little Lambs. Miss Gina is the best first teacher we could have had for my…read moredaughter. My daughter was a true covid baby and was hardly ever around kids her age. I knew it was time to put her in daycare and we were so blessed to find Miss Gina and it just so happened to be with in walking distance to our home which was great for this transition. Miss Gina has been very kind and patient with my daughter. Miss Gina keeps the daycare very clean, organized and welcoming. I appreciate her open communication with any concerns or insights she had on helping with our daughter. All the kids get along really well and have a sense of community. My daughter really learned a lot through the weekly themed lessons Miss Gina plans for them, which are very interactive. She makes sure to include sensory, imaginative and creative play and lessons for the kids. My only regret is not finding Miss Gina sooner! Sadly are only leaving as my daughter is going to kindergarten or else she would stay there longer. We will miss taking my daughter to Little Lambs but will forever remember the time we had there!

    We love the Goddard school. The staff as well as management are wonderful and easy to work with…read more I've seen such improvement in my child's social skills and behavior since he started. I'm planning for my next one in the infant room already.

    My infant son went to Goddard for 2+ months, which was too long. The quality of educators is poor…read more I don't believe they have any training. Communication is non-existent. They have an app called Tadpole, but yet the information entered is never correct. They are short-staffed every day and yet most teachers still leave at 4, so unless you can get out of work early to connect and discuss... you simply have no idea what is going on. Kids are constantly placed in rockers and chairs and are left there most of the day. The legal ratio of 3 kids to 1 teacher is rarely followed, in fact, I have seen as many as 10 kids to 2 teachers more times than I can count... We gave them sleep sacks for him to nap in each day, yet they just sat in his cubby. On more than one occasion he was left to sleep in a rocker as he was placed in a room that had no open cribs due to staff shortages... it's just not a good place to leave an infant. We started in January 2024 and there is not a single kid left in the class who was there when we started. To a child, they have all left and gone to other daycares... and now we are too. I wouldn't send my kid here if I were you. We are now 54 days past our last day and have still yet to receive our deposit back from the school. They claim its been mailed, but their by-laws state repayment will be made within 30-45 days and we are well past that... its a joke. Just find a different day care, this place is awful from the top to the bottom.

    Our daughter started Ms. Chandra's daycare when she turned 3 and it has been almost a year now…read more She had never been to any daycare prior. Thanks to Ms. Chandra, our daughter adapted within 2 weeks of starting daycare. She also did not speak English before starting daycare but now she has no trouble communicating in English with Ms. Chandra and her friends. She has learned all the alphabets, can count in English and Spanish and knows so many rhymes. She can even spell her name, which is pretty amazing for her age. She brings artwork from the daycare almost every day and we have noticed her drawing and coloring skills have improved significantly. Now she is learning to write the alphabets and numbers. We are amazed by Ms. Chandra's passion, energy and ability to care for 8 kids all by herself. Ms. Chandra also provides 3 vegetarian meals each day, which our daughter likes to eat. We feel very lucky to have found Ms. Chandra and cannot thank her enough.

We were desperately looking…read morefor a daycare close to home since my daughter, at the time, was not used to being around children that much, but finding her was the best thing ever. It took some time for my daughter to get used to it, but once she did, she was on a roll. She has taught my daughter to talk more, taught her some Spanish, new songs, etc. My daughter was also well taken cared of. She is great at what she does and I will definitely be bringing my next one to her in the near future.
