Disclaimer: I am the "over protective" mama that does the endless research, tours a dozen…read morefacilities, and asks a million questions before choosing a program to put my kids in. I LOVE LITTLE ORCHARD KAYSVILLE! Just by meeting the program director (Michelle Paez) you get a sense of the high standard Little Orchard PreSchool is held to. My 3.5 y/o has a speech delay, mild sensory sensitivity, and severe separation anxiety. Ms. Michelle reassured me that the staff are prepared to help kids with any transitioning difficulties they may experience. They are INCREDIBLY empathetic and patient with each student, my son actually hung out with Ms. Michelle his first 2 days of school and once he felt safe with her; she helped him transition into the classroom without her. The level of compassion and respect they give to our kids is outstanding. Other things I found note worthy... - CLEAN: The facility has a modern and updated interior. The layout is simple and very clean/organized. - STRUCTURED PROGRAM: The program is Montessori based and is very much routined and structured. They have a set daily schedule and implement early education skills (reading, writing, etc.) - GREAT COMMUNICATION: The program director is the bridge of communication between you/your kids and the teachers. This makes communicating thoughts and concerns consistent and easy! If I have a concern about my son, I can just call, text, or email Ms. Michelle and she does the rest. I decided to write this review bc last week I noticed a bruise on my son's face on a day he had school. I reached out to Ms. Michelle and asked if she could check in with his teachers and see if he had an accident or hurt himself. She called me and said that she had talked to all of staff that interacted with my son AND she personally reviewed footage from his school day to make sure there weren't any incidents where he could have been hurt. I just felt very impressed with the level of safety precautions and immediate communication to re-iterate that our children's safety is their top priority. - COMMUNITY: There are activities that families can participate in that make it fun easy to interact with the school community. - PROCARE APP: Little Orchard has a smartphone app where you can sign in/out your child from school, get personal updates from teachers, get pictures/summaries of activities the kids are doing in real time, update personal information, pay tuition, direct message the staff, etc. The app is user friendly, easy to navigate, and makes it easy to never miss an update! Long story short; if you want a community that will enable your kids to thrive socially, emotionally, physically, and academically, CHOOSE LITTLE ORCHARD!

Here at North Star we believe that when children are safe, and feel love and encouragement, they can accomplish anything. We know that quality early education makes all the difference when it comes to preparing children for their futures. Our curriculum encourages children to learn through self-discovery and play. Our goal is not only that your child will be school ready, but also that they will gain self-confidence and a love of learning. We know that being away from your children can be difficult, which is why we are proud to provide resources that enable you to securely check on your child from any computer, tablet, or phone with internet access. Giving you the peace of mind that your child is safe and loved.

It gives me peace of mind to know that every day he spends at least three hours in an exceptional, self-guided learning environment. Ms. Evi is very talented and her 10 years of experience speaks for itself when you see her interact with the children. She is very kind and respectful toward them while also managing to create a structured, positive learning environment. Every day my son comes home telling me about the new things he learned and I have noticed he asks more intelligent questions about everything. I like that he is learning life skills like how to pour his own glass of milk and use a sponge. This has given him more confidence which is so important at this age. I feel so blessed that we stumbled on Ms. Evi's program for her first year in Kaysville as I am fairly certain in subsequent years the spots will go quickly. This program is worth every penny and I would absolutely put my son back in next year if we weren't moving.

Our goal is to provide a high-quality, developmentally appropriate program for young children and their families. We aim to create a fun, secure, and supportive environment in which children are encouraged to develop their individual potential. The children will gain social and emotional skills and independence as they interact with the other children and our staff. The philosophy of my preschool is centered on play. Young children learn through hands-on experiences and participation in their everyday lives, so it is our job to offer them opportunities to select, explore, and practice a range of skills through a variety of materials and activities. It is through play that children explore their world, and what may look like “child’s play” to us is actually their learning in progress. Through play, our children also develop problem-solving skills and communication skills. Our curriculum will also include language, literacy, art, math, science, dramatic play, music, and movement activities that will be implemented into monthly themed activities. The daily schedule includes active and quiet teacher-directed activities for both individual and group settings. Each day will provide opportunities for cognitive, physical, and self-help development.

My 1-year-old has a life-threatening egg allergy, which the daycare was well aware of. Despite multiple reminders, he was repeatedly exposed to egg 2-3 times a week. That's not a mistake--it's negligence. Every day I dropped him off, I worried it might be the last time I saw him alive. On top of that, my 8-month-old's personal formula, diapers, and wipes--which I purchase out of pocket--were consistently used on other children. I was rarely given back everything I brought each morning, and I had to wait 15-20 minutes most days to pick them up because parents are kept in the lobby, unable to check on their own kids. I paid thousands of dollars a month to this facility, yet it felt like I had to supervise their staff every single day. My job is to work and provide, not to constantly fear for my children's safety in a place I trusted to care for them. Parents, be aware: if your child has any medical condition or specific care needs, look elsewhere. No family should have to live with this kind of anxiety, especially while paying a premium for care.

I've debated whether or not to post this, but I feel strongly that other parents should be warned…read moreabout our experience with this daycare. If I could give zero or negative stars, I would. The communication is virtually nonexistent, and the lack of professionalism--especially from ownership--is incredibly concerning. My son attended LTA from June 2024 to April 2025.Things were fine at first, but everything changed around March 2025. Staff turnover became constant, and my son was repeatedly moved between new teachers. The biggest mistake, in my opinion, was letting go of the former director, Morgan. After that, the quality of care declined rapidly. Here are just a few of the major issues we experienced: * Neglected hygiene: My son came home multiple times with painful diaper rashes and yeast infections. We saw his pediatrician three times in just a few months due to poor diapering practices. * Unreported injury: He came home with a bite mark and deep bruising on his arm--no incident report, no communication. * Ignored messages: We raised several concerns, including diaper changes and safety issues. Most were never acknowledged or addressed. * Misplaced items: He was frequently sent home in clothes that weren't his, and his belongings were often lost. * Safety failure: On his last day, staff reported that he had ingested diaper rash cream because a teacher left it within reach and wasn't paying attention. We even filed a formal complaint with the State. Despite that, nothing changed. We gave notice of withdrawal and didn't receive a single reply. A week later, I had to follow up in person just to confirm it was processed. It's devastating to feel like you can't trust the people responsible for your child's care. I strongly urge any parent considering LTA to check their record on the Utah State Licensing website before enrolling.

My boys truly loved them both! The date-nights they offer are such an awesome bonus as well. I'm not very trusting with a random babysitter so it's so nice having a place they can go, where they are already comfortable, I know they are safe and it's honestly a great deal as well.
