Their classrooms are flanked by two different outdoor spaces so children can explore their environment safely. There are sand boxes, a garden greenhouse, fun play structures, rotating theme pretend area, and a shallow creek to play in. Special guest appearances from some animal friends and librarians make their days exciting. We really enjoyed their annual Art Show where all the kids can show off their creations to parents and loved ones. Every teacher and staff members are incredibly kind and talented. We've made great parents friends and have plans to send our younger child there when the time comes. We feel lucky to have found Little Wings and encourage anyone looking for quality preschool education to set up a meeting with their team. Their director, Dani Burg, runs an incredible program that brings the best out of their students. She's also is fluent in Spanish!

This preschool has been by far the best I've found in North County SLO area. We searched Paso,…read moreTempleton, and Atascadero and were lucky to come across Little Wings. Dani and all of the staff are friendly and well qualified. They have a handy app so you can get photo updates on what your child is up to during the day. The facility is cozy, clean, and accommodating for atypical children and typically developing children alike. I love that they have the children eat snacks and lunch outside and play outside as much as possible when weather is accommodating. I highly recommend Little Wings to other parents searching for a friendly, happy, and learning centered place to have their child[ren] attend preschool! I can't say enough good things!

We enrolled our daughter here shortly after moving to San Luis Obispo. At first, it felt like we…read morehad found the cutest little school--her first week went great, and we were really hopeful. Unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. I was very upfront before enrolling that my daughter was coming from a Montessori environment, where children guide their own experience. I explained that transitioning into a more structured setting might take time and patience. Instead, almost immediately, I began receiving frequent calls about "disruptive" behavior. We're talking about a three-year-old having tantrums while adjusting to a completely new environment, new structure, and a recent move. That shouldn't be surprising--it should be expected and supported. What made this more frustrating was that I was repeatedly asked to leave work to address these situations. I'm fortunate to be in a leadership role with flexibility, but most working parents wouldn't be able to accommodate that level of disruption. I went in person to observe and even requested video. What I saw did not match the level of concern being communicated. It was a child expressing "I don't want to do this," not aggressive or alarming behavior. It looked like a normal adjustment period--not something that warranted the level of escalation we were experiencing. After less than a month, the school essentially gave up. I was offered a refund, and it was made clear that my child "wasn't a fit." That was disappointing. As educators, I would expect a willingness to work with a child--especially one coming from a different learning style. This could have been a success story: helping a child transition and grow. Instead, it felt like if a child doesn't immediately fit into their structure, they're not supported. I even reached out to her previous Montessori school, where she had been for over a year, to see if they had observed any of the behaviors being reported. They were genuinely surprised and confirmed they had not. During a meeting with the director, we discussed possible support strategies like peer shadowing. One teacher even referred to my daughter as "a leader," which stood out to me. If that's the case, it's even more disappointing that there wasn't an effort to guide and support that personality rather than dismiss it. Looking back, I also reviewed other feedback, and I will say this: the few lower-rated reviews aligned very closely with our experience. That's something I wish I had paid more attention to. If your child thrives in flexibility or is coming from a Montessori-style environment, I would strongly encourage asking detailed questions about how transitions are handled here. This school may work well for children who naturally fit into a very structured setting, but that was not our experience. If you're raising an independent, expressive child and don't want them forced into a rigid mold, this may not be the right environment. It felt like individuality was discouraged rather than supported.

They truly care about their ducklings and go above and beyond to offer one-on-one attention to each child. Our son has speech delays and Ms. Hicks has played a crucial role in working with him and helping us find additional services. Her background is in education so the daycare is set up more like a Montessori school which we really appreciate. (We looked at similar daycares and they cost double!) At Little Ducklings they do a lot of fun activities while also working on developmental skills. They are very good about updating us on what they are learning. They will send us videos of the curriculum (songs, etc) and pics of our son which helps us work on skills with him at home. Little Ducklings is a such a great school and we feel lucky to be part of it.
