She loves school more than anything, to have your child beg to go to school, happy every morning is priceless.

The performances always blow my mind and last years robotic show for first grade surpassed my expectations. Truly recommend.

Then, were so impressed with their handling of the pandemic in 2020 (we experienced no "covid learning loss"), it was an easy decision to stay on for the primary grades. And we have not been disappointed! We continue to have truly great teachers, that you can actually interact with every day at drop off and pickup and build relationships with them. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to schedule a tour or go to one of the open houses. Not only is it a charming environment, you will be amazed at how much more they manage to cover than just the basics. There is a focus on fine arts and performances, which are so great for confidence building. But they also get into robotics, go on cool field trips, and seem to have more fun events and activities than you might get in public school. The summer camp sessions are great, too! We'll be very sad to move on after 4th grade!

My husband and I both work M-F and finding Prescolaire was such a gem as we navigated becoming working parents 4 years ago.

PART 1. This was absolutely the worst place to bring your…read morechildren to be cared for. There is no accountability for negligence. Mrs.Mendoza the Director is NEVER available nor on-site. Every time I have asked to speak to her in person or on the phone she was unavailable. My son 2 and my daughter 11 months attended daycare here and were asked to be picked up immediately or child services would be called for posting a true factual review on the neglect my 2 year old has endured here. I was told by Mrs.Erika per the Owners I had an hour to pick them up as they were being immediately unenrolled due to a review. Can you believe that? My child was the one neglected by the staff. Let me explain. My child has been bit multiple times here. I have advocated for my son. I have asked to have him moved up and it was like pulling teeth because Mrs.Mendoza wasn't there to make that decision. I pressed and I pressed and Mrs.Erika finally said she was making the temporary decision to have him moved up. He finally gets moved up and it gets worse. He is still coming home with scratches on his face on his neck but incident reports are made so that makes it ok for them. My question was how is my child getting hurt every week since starting there sometimes 2-3 times a week and there are 2 teacher in the classroom? I always get an excuse. MY FINAL DRAW! On Thursday 11/16/2023 I went to pick my son up per usual. He immediately ran to me and I picked him up and kissed him. Well when I went to reach in I noticed a huge bite make on the side of his forehead right next to his temple. I also noticed scratches on his eye lid, nose and cheeks. I asked the teacher if she had an incident report for me. She looked confused and said no. Why? I said look at my sons face. The teacher then said "I seen that and was hoping it wasn't from today because I wasn't given a report." So now you have neglected my child too. If you took over care for a child with a huge bite mark on his face.. wouldn't you think to ask if that occurred earlier in the day so you can give report to the parent? I then walk straight out to the front and ask the front desk Melissa and a new member if they have a report for me. They looked confused and stated no. I told them look at my sons face. They were shocked and apologized. I was told Mrs Erika would be in touch as soon as she got in the next morning Friday. Mrs Erika called me on Friday and tells me. It's a scratch on his face not a bite. I argue because you can clearly see teeth marks on my sons face. So then she proceeds to tell me that they reviewed the cameras and it looks like at 9:34 AM my son and another child were fighting behind a book shelf that was in a blind spot from camera view. But that my son got up and walked away from the book shelf rubbing his head and sat down next to the teacher. I said well how did 3 adults watch him and never notice he had A HUGE Bite mark on his face? No incident report. No phone call. Nothing. Had I not advocated for my child.. that footage would have never been reviewed. She said I understand. There's nothing more we can do but have a conference with the teachers about better ways to handle these situations and have them eliminated for the future. I asked to see the footage myself. I was told Mrs.Mendoza declined for me to see it. I asked to speak with her immediately. Again she was not available so I then said well she needs to call me. She is never available. Mrs Erika then stated she would have her conference me in.PART 2 Mrs.Mendoza called me and had a nasty condescending attitude. I told her I wanted to speak to her regarding all the bite incidents my son has endured. Particularly this one because I was never notified on the incident nor was there a report written out to document the incident for me to refer to. She then tells me well your son and another child were fighting behind a bookshelf. He got up and didn't cry and sat next to the teacher with a book rubbing his head. He didn't cry and that's why the teacher didn't catch it. Normal children would have cried. I said hold on. So my two year old didn't cry and so it's his fault he wasn't being watched or killed from behind a book shelf where he was fighting with another student and nobody noticed? But theirs two teacher in the room? She states I'm not sure what more I can tell you other than what Mrs Erika already told you. I then stated well I wanted to speak to the director to see what all steps would be taken to ensure me this will never happen again. Mrs.Mendoza then proceeds to tell me "Well the next steps are for you to unenroll them because I'm not telling you that." So you can unenroll them or I can. No apology. No remorse. My child has just been traumatized coming to this daycare. He has never been bitten in his whole life. I could not believe as a Director Mrs.Mendoza could not ensure a concerned parent that their child would not be left unsupervised and they would always be cared for. Instead. My child who i

I wanted to take a moment to share our recent experience as my daughter transitioned from Room 1…read moreinto Room 2, and more specifically, to express how meaningful her time in Room 1 with Ms. Salma truly was. From the very beginning, we were consistently impressed by the level of care, attention, and organization Ms. Salma brought to the classroom. She has an incredible way of making each child feel seen and valued. Whether it was finding time to work individually with the children throughout the day or thoughtfully guiding them through the daily curriculum, it was clear how intentional and dedicated she was in everything she did. One of the things that stood out most was the effort Ms. Salma put into creating engaging activities and art projects. The fact that these were often personalized -- complete with each child's name and tailored touches -- meant so much to us as parents. It showed a level of care that goes above and beyond, and it played a big role in helping my daughter feel comfortable, confident, and excited to come to school each day. Because of the strong bond Ms. Salma formed with the children, my daughter was understandably hesitant about moving up to a new classroom. She grew very fond of Ms. Salma, and that alone speaks volumes about the nurturing, safe, and loving environment she created. While we are excited for this next stage in Room 2, there is no doubt that Ms. Salma will be deeply missed in our household. Ms. Salma is incredibly professional and, in my opinion, a true master at working with babies and young children. The foundation she helped build during such an important stage of my daughter's development is something we will always be grateful for. Thank you for fostering such a wonderful environment and for having educators like Ms. Salma who make such a lasting impact. We feel very fortunate that our daughter had the opportunity to start her daycare journey in such capable and caring hands.

This is the most AMAZING PRESCHOOL in The Woodlands!!!…read more After painstakingly researching practically all the daycares and preschools in the area and touring several of them, we immediately felt the most at ease and excited about Little Sunshine's Playhouse. Ms. TK (the director) and her entire team are so professional, organized, thoughtful, and kind. They have treated us like family from the very first encounter and continue to show us warmth and exceptional care every single day. The school is immaculately kept and has great security protocols for a parent's peace of mind. There are various extracurriculars (like gymnastics, dance, and soccer) offered, as well as special events & holiday socials. The faculty are so creative in keeping things fun & engaging - - not only for the children but their families too! Ms. HEYLEY is an incredible teacher & trustworthy caregiver. Our 2-year old has learned so much from the curriculum and has so much fun in class. I appreciate the frequent updates (and activity photos) that make me feel like I can be a part of each moment, even at a distance. Eventually, we will graduate to the next age group/classroom (and onward), but her "first" teacher and first year experience will forever hold a special piece of our hearts. Thank you to Ms. TK, Ms. Monica (assistant director), Ms. Beth & Ms. Heather (head teachers) for always being so approachable, informative, and helpful. Thank you to Ms. Heyley and supporting classroom teachers (Ms. Camryn, Ms. Beth, Ms. Belle, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Alyssa, and other names I'm still trying to remember) for the care & attention you give to our little girl and all her friends! We appreciate you all sooooo much. We love LSP and everyone who has played a part in our little girl's wonderful preschool experience! We made the right decision enrolling at LSP. Truly the best.... It is our home away from home for these precious early years.

Why 5 stars? Because our son's experience here was amazing from start to finish…read more --- --- --- After our son finished kindergarten, we wanted to enroll him at a daycare for the summer where he could be visited by a speech and occupational therapist to help him work through some issues before starting 1st grade. The only therapists we could find that would offer both services would only travel to centers within The Woodlands. Little Sunshine was the closest center to our house that was technically in The Woodlands, but the only problem is that it was also, by far, the most expensive. Plus, we would have to pay some out-of-pocket costs for the therapy services too. This option was setting up to be an incredibly expensive summer. So I shopped around for alternative therapy provider that would travel to other centers, but I struck out with everyone. So we took a deep breath and prepared to spend the extra money. To be honest, this ended up being an excellent decision. Little Sunshine was easily the best daycare we have ever sent our son too. And due to some odd circumstances, he has been to a *lot* of different places. The facility is super nice the lobby, the classrooms, the playgrounds - all top notch. A very nice thing is that unlike most daycares, it didn't *smell* like a daycare. You probably know exactly what I mean when I say that: a combination of sweaty kids and strong cleaning products. It didn't even really look like a daycare in the lobby. Everything was always supremely clean and organized. The teachers were also amazing. They truly seemed to love our son and really helped him work through his issues when his emotions would get the best of him. They always kept us updated with photos, videos and the schedule for what the kids were doing and learning about. We also really loved that they not only provided breakfast, lunch and snacks, but they did so in a healthy manner. They would provide a schedule every week with the menu and our son loved reading it every day. They definitely made some of the items sound borderline gourmet! And nothing was ever just purely junk food, as is the case at most places. After the summer ended, we enrolled him in a new daycare for after school. As of this writing, he's only gone there 3 times, and it's been fine so far, but the stark drop-off in the quality of everything was immediately obvious. It's no Little Sunshine! If you're in the same boat we were in: thinking of bringing your kid(s) to Little Sunshine but hesitant because of the cost, I will tell you that it's worth every penny. We will always look fondly on our time here, even if it was only for a short time.

Beware, parents! *slight edit* I was just sent an e mail that this teacher is not at the Woodlands Campus but at Greengate Academy in Spring. I've lost count; this may be my 5th review. SHSU Charter has a way of making poor reviews vanish. My child used to attend SHSU Humble campus and I regret leaving him there as long as I did. My own background is almost 20 years in education as a teacher, trainer, curriculum developer, coach and specialist at both the site and district level. Due to the nature of my positions, I've literally been in 100s of classrooms. Most teachers are good, or at least have potential. It is the rare few that should not even be in the profession. The K/1 teacher at SHSU would fall into this category. First, the teacher was very rude and uncaring most all the year. She constantly ignored everyone and never let us know how our kids were doing. Anytime I tried to have a conversation with her she'd roll her eyes, sigh and basically act like a spoiled teenager. Next, it is NOT TRUE that SHSU charter doesn't do testing. They do MAP testing 3 times a year, weekly reading tests, and unit math tests alongside several science and social studies exams. It is also NOT TRUE that all the teachers are experts with over a decade of experience. While my child really liked the PE and music teachers and I heard positives about some teachers at other sites, the Humble teacher had never worked with a group larger than 8 and was in desperate need of a mentor or possibly a job change. Not once did I get the impression that she liked her job, the students and most certainly not the parents. Possibly she went into teaching thinking it would be easy, and lucky for her; her position was. Working all alone in a class of only 7 far from the main office in Woodlands must have been a dream come true. Nobody was checking in on her so she could do as she pleased, or more specifically, do as little as she pleased. Not working was certainly her motto. She arrived each day 15 minutes before class and left when the kids did. Each day the same 2 girls would get "red cards" for small infractions. As an educational coach I know, if 25% of your class isn't focused the problem isn't the kids, it's the teacher. The teacher became upset/ embarrassed when it was discovered she was playing on her phone rather than working. The kids would sit alone doing piles of worksheets while she sat at her desk much of the day. Due to being found out, she started a "new policy" that no parent was allowed 1 inch in the class without an appointment. I spoke to both the principal and superintendent about this, and they seemed perfectly happy with the idea of parents being cut off from their child's education. They disguised the door policy as being something all the sites were doing in response to gun control, but as I found out from a friend at another site; this policy was only placed at the Humble campus. One day I entered about 6 inches past the doorframe and was treated like gum on the bottom of her shoe. Yelling, screaming, eye-rolling and telling me to get out. She acted like a maniac in front of the class and I realized my child would be better served staying home watching TV than in a class with a lunatic. I pulled my child an hour later and he told me he was so happy and he never wanted to be in a class with a mean, bad teacher again.
