My younger daughter attends school 3x per week at this gem of a preschool, and we couldn't be…read morehappier! I see that the previously posted reviews are from many years ago, so I feel compelled to provide an update. Ms LaRay of 2024 is as magical as ever! She cares deeply for all of the children in her care, and it really shows. She has this uncanny knack of identifying, drawing out, and celebrating each child's unique innate gifts. She is equally impressively intuitive in her individualized approach to daily challenges. She continues to throw epic parties for certain holidays, and her level of creativity and generosity displayed at these events serves as irrefutable evidence of her continued passion, dedication, and love for these tiny humans in her care. Her helper, Ms Elizabeth, has been outstanding as well! If you are thinking about checking out this preschool, I strongly recommend that you refrain from waiting. Her classes can fill up super fast, and there's pretty much no turnover through the year because she's so fantastic. Take it from my firsthand cautionary tale -- I waited, wished, prayed, and hoped for one full year that a spot would open up mid-year, but it was to no avail. I'm profoundly grateful that our turn finally came! Ms LaRay is so naturally nurturing that she sometimes calls the kids by the cutest nicknames. I have heard her call my daughter "Bubble" twice during drop off. And my mama heart soared with joy.

Teacher LaRay is quite simply the best teacher a child can ever have. She is the most giving,…read morethoughtful, caring, and nurturing teacher I know. She truly cares about what your child is learning, how they are learning it, and making sure they are having fun doing it. My children both belonged to a different preschool only because the times that Laugh, Play, Learn offered did not work out with my schedule. Had it worked out with my schedule I would have immediately placed them in LaRay's care. I was fortunate, however, to have been able to place them at Laugh, Play, Learn for a semester while I was in school. The preschool that my children were currently at could not take them in on a day that I needed care during the week so LaRay graciously opened up her school to take them in when she was actually closed. LaRay has such a warm, loving, HUGE, heart of gold. Each time I picked them up my kids would be singing about blending words, sight words, and numbers that they learned with LaRay. I noticed that their handwriting skills were so much better on the day that they were with her. SO SO SO much better than the school that they were currently in. I am a student and unfortunately my flexablity is limited. I cannot tell you how often I would stare at my school schedule hoping that there was some way for me to make it fit so that my children could attend LaRay's school. I truly hope that to those of you who are looking for the right school will look the Laugh, Play, and Learn. LaRay offers your child outstanding handwriting skills, a love of science and nature, and math skills where your children know how to count to 100, by 2's,5's, and 10's. Your child will not only learn all of the skills above, but will actually ENJOY learning them and will want to know more. Enroll your child at Laugh, Play, Learn - it is a wonderful way to start their love of learning early. Enrolling your child there will truly be one of the best decisions you will have made for your child.

Little Sonshine Schoolhouse has been a blessing and treasure to our family. My twins are currently…read morein LSS Preschool and they enjoy going to school every day. They have made so many friends and love all their teachers. All of the teachers and staff have been so wonderful and accommodating. We truly feel that our children are loved , safe, and cared for. As a teacher myself, I have been more than impressed with the amount of curriculum my children have been exposed to and learned this school year. They have learned their numbers, letters, phonics, and so many lifelong learning skills all before age four. I have also noticed so many new wonderful behaviors my twins have picked up from attending LSS such as praying or thanking me for the food before they eat, using manners, sharing, and just deeply caring for others around them. We have made so many great friends here as well. Without any doubt, I highly recommend Little Sonshine for anyone looking for a Preschool, PK, TK, or Kindergarten for their little ones and desire a school that not only educates the whole child, but teaches them to be compassionate to others too. You will enjoy the annual Christmas Program, Fall and Spring Photos, Bike-a-thon, Mother's Day Tea, and Father's Day Donuts, Graduation, and many other events. As parents we also receive weekly feedback from the teachers and monthly newsletters. The teachers are ver approachable and respond to your needs and questions immediately. I feel like I gained a community of friends and family from LSS. Little Sonshine Schoolhouse will always hold a special place in my family's hearts forever.

Whenever we had questions or concerns, we always received a timely response. We were always updated on our daughter's progress, whether it was through parent-teacher conferences, pictures posted on their app with dialogue and associated learning tools, or every day conversation. Our daughter loved the many fun and creative activities, daily storybooks, song and dance, and outside play. She especially loved her teachers. And by the end of the school year, we certainly were more than satisfied with our daughter's evolvement. Our daughter is more than prepared for Kindergarten this year. We can't thank the teachers and staff at Catalyst enough, and our plan is to have our son join the Catalyst preschool program once he's of age. Thank you so much Catalyst!

Teachers and staff have been amazing, kind, helpful, thoughtful and fun! 2. Academically: lessons are great and Emma is already able to read many sight words and words. She basically read her first book the other day. 3. They prepare special ways to celebrate holidays and fun dates. Never dull. Emma loved saint Patrick's and Christmas. We have lots of cute videos that are shared on these fun days. 4. They teach wonderful bible stories and songs. I was amazed when Emma began singing about 9 fruits of the Spirit song the other day when she noticed I needed to calm down. 5. The drop off and pick up drive through is really easy and I appreciate the staff being outside to help! Our family is so grateful for the time we had Emma there.

As first time parents we were scared all Day Cares would ruin our happy baby, but after switching him to Action Day, we are back to nothing but smiles! He lights up when he sees the teachers, who all welcome him with huge hugs and they actually seem to love what they do (very different from CC) and they have so many toys and activities to keep him engaged. Action Day has introduced him to so much, from toys, to painting (I would never be brave enough to let a 5 month old to paint!) and they have helped us sleep train + introduce him to solids. We're so grateful we made the switch and are excited for our baby to grow up in such a positive environment!

I felt like an in-home childcare was more our style. The attention my son was getting at the center was not very warm or individualized. My son can be very testy, defiant and difficult at times. When he was first starting, I remember being worried and thinking to myself, "Are they ready for this kid? Can they handle him at his worst?" I'm so grateful we found this school because I know without a doubt that this is the safest and healthiest environment for him to learn, grow and thrive. They have become his second family and he loves going to school. I love how hands on and how communicative they are. Lori has gone above and beyond to demonstrate support however she can, not only with my son but also to me during difficult parenting moments. The app they use makes it convenient to receive updates, photos, and messages. I also love that they provide healthy meals and that I don't have to worry about packing a lunch in the mornings. I'm going to be devastated the day my son graduates from her program! I can't wait to get my younger child in there this fall. Like others have said, I don't trust anyone more than Lori.

My husband and I were looking for a daycare for our daughter after having had her in Prestige from…read more1-2years old. We would have kept her there but she would have had to change classrooms and teachers every year and my daughter is too shy for that to be a successful program for us. After touring a few daycares (facility and homes based), we came upon The Sandlot. I called and spoke with the owner Lori who explained her care is actually a home based preschool program. We were invited to visit and observe, to see if it was the right program for us and to see if my daughter was a good fit for her program. We had a great feeling about it and decided to try it out. SO HAPPY WE DID! Our daughter has been with Lori for over a year now and she has really blossomed! The small (12 children), tight knit learning environment that Lori has established is really incredible! My daughter has been able to make close friends, build her social skills, learn things (like her letters and sounds by 3 1/2yo!), experiment, play, and grow! Lori implements rules that encourage respect, good morals and values, and a general safe and fun place to learn and play. We appreciate the constant communication, and respect Loris suggestions for helping the kids overcome any behavioral issues. My daughter works on art projects all the time, and they are always doing some sort of unique and creative learning activity. Lori has 2-3 assistants who are equally amazing with the kids! When we visit for parties and see the interaction between all teachers and the children, it further solidifies our trust in Lori and her program! Thank you Lori for caring so much about our kids!
