I was in an accident that limited my mobility, and so many parents held open doors, offered to carry things, and expressed words of motivation and support. Several even helped me push my son's stroller into the school, which nearly brought me to tears. The teachers, especially Miss Kayla and Miss Fatima have been so supportive and stepped in to help with our son while supporting him through the various transitions in this healing process. Miss Adriane has also been so kind checking in each morning with her thoughtful smile and encouraging words. We have been a part of this community since our son was 5 months old and we are grateful for all he has learned and grown. The team has worked with us through several parenting challenges and we are so thankful for their knowledge, care and concern.

The teachers and staff are exceptional; they create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes both children and parents feel right at home. My daughter attended for three wonderful years, forming lasting friendships and building a strong foundation for her education.

I am incredibly grateful for how this preschool has paved the way for her educational journey. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Rayna, Ms. Jerilen, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Emily and the entire Little Rascals team for their dedication and support. I can't wait to enroll my two-year-old son in the program when he's old enough, so he can enjoy the same enriching experience his sister had!

Every month the school sends out the curriculum and theme they follow, and days are filled with fun activities, dress up ideas and projects all focused on learning. You get a full schedule (art, circle time, literacy, outdoor and STEAM) of what they do and updates of their day via the app. I loved seeing pictures of my child enjoying each project they curated for the week. The children are so loved and nurtured, you can tell teachers are intentional about their care towards each child. Snacks are always healthy and yummy! They've managed to get my kid snacking on veggies. Go figure. Furthermore, as a mother of two children on two campuses- the rooms were always very clean or being cleaned. As many of you know, preschools can be a breeding ground for a plethora of germs and I'm glad Little Ivy does all they can to combat that. So thank you Miss Angie, Miss Verenice, Miss Heidi, Miss Erica, Miss Ana, Miss Monica, Miss Clovelly and Miss Briana. My child has been forever changed by you.

She started off shy and quiet, but now she confidently walks up to kids on the playground and makes friends with ease. Her language has taken off, and she comes home every day full of stories, artwork, and excitement. The environment is warm, calm, and joyful--kids are truly allowed to be kids here. They're free to play, be messy, be silly, and explore at their own pace. The structure is thoughtful but not rigid, and it makes all the difference. Brenna and Tamara are amazing. Brenna is always there--literally. She greets families every morning and is deeply involved in every part of the day. She's constantly bringing in new activities and makes sure each child feels seen and supported. Tamara is so kind and nurturing, and my daughter adores her. One of my favorite things about Hopper Creek is that I'm welcome to stay and watch my daughter play at pick-up.
