My review is a little long, but I promise it's worth the read…read more Parents: If you're trying to decide on a daycare, you're probably asking yourself, "Why should I choose this one?" As a mom, I asked myself that same question. Leaving your children in someone else's care is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. We all want a place where our children are safe, loved, learning, and genuinely happy while we're away. After a lot of searching, I can honestly say that choosing LBFDS was one of the best decisions I've made for my family. The Teachers & Environment: This is the biggest reason I recommend LBFDS. The teachers don't just supervise the children--they genuinely care about them. They build relationships, celebrate milestones, comfort them when they're upset, encourage them to learn, and make every child feel loved and secure. I especially want to recognize Teacher Brenda (if I'm remembering her name correctly). My child absolutely adored her. Every morning my little one would light up with excitement and run straight into her arms. As a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child feels that safe and loved. Moments like that speak volumes about the people they hire. The daycare is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Every time I've walked in, the children looked genuinely happy. Communication: One of my favorite things about LBFDS is how well they communicate with parents. As a mom who worries about her children all day, the updates meant everything to me. They kept me informed with diaper changes, feeding times, naps, and daily activities. They also sent pictures and videos throughout the day, which instantly gave me peace of mind. Seeing my children smiling, playing, learning, and making friends reassured me that they were exactly where they needed to be. Learning & Activities: The older my children have gotten, the more I've realized how much they learned at LBFDS. They don't simply keep children busy--they help them grow. They focus on age-appropriate academics, language development, social skills, and fine and gross motor skills while making learning fun. Their days are filled with story time, arts and crafts, educational activities, outdoor play, music, snacks, nap time, and opportunities to socialize with other children. Everything is thoughtfully planned for each age group, creating a balance between learning and play. Parent Involvement: One of the things I appreciate most is how much LBFDS values family involvement. Throughout the year they host holiday programs and special events where parents get to watch their children sing, perform, and celebrate what they've learned. Those moments are priceless, and I'll always treasure the crafts and keepsakes my children proudly brought and will bring home. They also help children build confidence, independence, and friendships while creating an environment where every child feels included and encouraged to succeed. Overall If you're looking for a daycare where your child is truly loved--not just supervised--I wholeheartedly recommend LBFDS. Their caring teachers, strong communication, engaging academics, fun activities, and welcoming environment have exceeded every expectation I had. The greatest gift they've given me is peace of mind. Knowing my children are safe, happy, learning, and surrounded by people who genuinely care is something I can never fully express. Every morning my children were excited to go, and every afternoon they came home smiling. That alone told me everything I needed to know. To every teacher and staff member at LBFDS, thank you for loving my babies as if they were your own. Thank you for every hug, every lesson, every encouraging word, every picture and video that brightened my day, and every milestone you celebrated with them. Your kindness, patience, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our family, and we will always be grateful.

I like that the classes are smaller, the kids get more attention from their teachers. The administration is welcoming and friendly, and they were flexible when we needed to change our schedule.

Confirmed with the director there are no Spanish classes or lessons currently, which would indicate a need for an update to the website. When I asked what language exposure opportunities are offered at the school, I was told about a teacher who "speaks another language but I don't know what it is." When I asked what their policy/procedure around name-calling in the classroom, they stated there wasn't one. If children are calling each other names, it won't be shut down and the educators may engage in the name-calling as well. When I shared our philosophy at home, that we don't call people outside of their names (that it's respectful to refer to people as they prefer)- and if people are called outside of their names, then the adults around shut down the behavior and role model appropriate/ humane treatment of other humans; I was then told that this wasn't the school for us because they would not shut down name-calling and that it would potentially be encouraged as "imaginative play." If you want a school that encourages name-calling and potential bullying, has indescrepincies on their website, and doesn't know their staff's backgrounds- this may be the place for you. If you want a school that encourages education, humane treatment, and cultural diversity- this probably isn't it.
