The day we went to meet Karine and visited the daycare we immediately felt a sense of relief that we had found the perfect spot to care for our little one. My son is now 3 1/2 years old and is still attending - he just completed the preschool program. He has grown into a smart, loving and healthy boy thanks to Karine and her staff. My family and friends are always shocked when they see my son eat his vegetables and request for broccoli! We owe his positive development to this amazing place. Every day we pick him up he's always so happy. Teacher Rena has seen him grow since he was a baby and treats him as if he were her own. Teacher Emma receives him with such warmth and kindness every morning. Irina is Karine's mom and she makes the most delicious food for the kids, you often smell the wonderful home cooked meals during drop offs. I can't recommend this place enough! They keep the place so clean, have wonderful activities, celebrate birthdays and holidays, enjoy water games during the summer, hold music and exercise classes. As a first time mom, I'm so thankful for the help, support, guidance and recommendations Karine has given me every step of the way and throughout each milestone my son has accomplished. And as a working mom, there is no better relief than to trust my son is in a safe and loving environment for the entire day. We love LPDC and are so lucky we have them in our lives! Now - how do we stop our kid from growing so he can stay here even longer? :)

My husband and I were looking at multiple daycares in our area knowing that we'd have to go back working full-time. The top things we were looking for was a place that had a large enough space for kids to roam but small enough that it feels intimate and homey, a place that was safe and clean, and most importantly, somewhere where you knew the staff cared for the kids. Le Petit is exactly that and more. Zari and the teachers were always so attentive. Every single time we'd pick up our daughter, she would always be smiley and happy. Thank you Le Petit!

I am blessed to have them and feel so confident and safe that he is always taken care of so well there. He has grown so much and learned a lot too since he started. I love all the fun activities, events and celebrations they put together for the kids too. Sona and the other caregivers are incredibly patient, kind and loving and always great with communicating with us too with everything that's going on.

We are fortunate beyond belief to have found this incredible school. It has been the most wonderful launching pad for my little one, setting her up for a healthy, curious, kind, and loving life. I have full confidence as she enters the "big school" (Kindergarten) next week that she will be ready socially AND intellectually thanks to the loving care and attention received from the teachers and leadership at New Generation. I found this school after trying many others in the area. New Generation is both play and academically focused, always clean, and has a GORGEOUS backyard play area (I always say it feels heavenly back there). I'll never ever forget how wonderful it felt to pick my daughter up in such a safe and loving environment every day and have her run across that playground to hug me. The school is not only kid-friendly, but parent friendly. They have always been kind and supportive in a way that parents of preschoolers need... they just get it. The front office empathizes and gives of their time and attention, always making me feel safe and seen. They also throw a great party!! The Fall Festival every year is seriously so much fun - we're still planning to go as a family even after we've left! There are always holiday activities, celebrations, shows, adorable Graduations... everything is just so perfect. Most importantly, the teachers are INCREDIBLE. We had Ms. Claudia, Ms. Laura, and Ms. Favi throughout the years, three of the most lovely women, always with a focus on learning, growth, development, and kindness. The kiddos spend so much time at preschool, it has been very comforting to know it is such a wonderful environment, complete with care and attention from very involved teachers. Ms. Favi, our current teacher, truly looks at her students as if they were her own, and treats them as such. My daughter loves her so, and dreams of being a teacher one day because of how wonderfully Ms. Favi does it. It will be so hard to say goodbye to her, and there will be no shortage of tears (mom included). I highly recommend this school for your sweet little ones. It feels like family, and I will forever be grateful to have found this special home away from home during such formative years.

They also have an app where you can see what the kids are doing, when and how long they sleep, and what they eat. I love that! All teachers at Little Sunshine are sweet and caring. They are creative and always come up with new activities, so the kids never get bored. It's like one big family. My son is way more outgoing now and learned a lot of social skills.

Shusha was so loving and even went out of her way to personally help feed him on the days he struggled. We have since moved, and our son is now five years old. We have since attended three other wonderful schools with our two boys, but none of them compare to Shusha's school. For a nervous mom sending her son to school for the first time, it felt as if we were sending him to a warm, loving relative's home to play for the day. We still see the amazing activities she plans on social media, and think fondly of our son's time there. We are so grateful to Shusha and her team to have had the perfect first school experience.

Seriously, Miss Veronika helps with POTTY TRAINING! When I first called Veronika's references, something unexpected happened: those parents told me she was amazing, but not to just take their word for it. They gave me numbers for even more parents, and every single one said the same thing: "Why are you still on the phone with me? Call Veronika and reserve your spot while you can!"
