After so many years shared in this wonderful school, I leave with a heart full of gratitude, memories, and lessons that I will cherish forever. Thank you to the owner of the institution, Miss Amina, for the trust, respect, and opportunity to be part of this important project. Thank you also to each of my colleagues for their support, camaraderie, and the moments we shared every day. In a very special way, I want to express my gratitude for having allowed me to care for and guide the children. Every smile, every hug, and every small achievement of theirs was a great motivation for me. Working with young children is a blessing, and I will carry with me the love and joy they gave me every day. I retire with the peace of mind of having given my best, with responsibility, affection, and dedication, and with the satisfaction of having contributed, even in a small way, to the education and well-being of these little ones. I wish you all much success, health, and blessings. May this school continue to grow and educate many children with love and values. Thank you Miss Amanda, Miss Kristie, Miss Jessica, Miss Erica, Miss Elizabeth and Miss Riley... all the wonderful teachers I have worked with over the years and fantastic families who have grown in my heart. With affection and gratitude, Miss Naty

We've really enjoyed our experience with the Learning Experience so far! Our son joined at 3.5…read moremonths and has had a great experience at TLE the past year. The caregivers in the infant rooms have been amazing my son loves them! They have really gotten to know our son and have done an amazing job caring for him. I love that they update you all day on the app so you can see their schedule and how they're progressing. They do a great job sticking to our schedule. If there's ever an issue, they call right away and let you know! Management has also changed in the past year (2 people had turned over in the time we started) and the past few months have been great. I love the management in there now! They also do a great job with different activities and arts and crafts at the school. They've done tons of different theme weeks, decorations, quarterly fun fairs and more interactive elements for the kids which has been cute! The only improvements I'd like to see is more so in the afternoon pick up time. I've seen a lot of the care givers switching rooms at pick up time (so I may not recognize the teacher in there) and sometimes the kids to teacher ratio is off at the end of the day.

I'd call it The Social Experiment and certainly NOT the Learning Experience. I will also say that…read morethey might be much better as a nursery school, as our experience was only as a preschool. I'll start with what is good about this place (not much). The lead teachers genuinely care about the children and put a lot into their care. The staff also take the time to know the kids' names. I only wish the management and staff put a fraction of that effort into their relations with the parents. They do not. If you ask questions or raise any issues, the management is immediately defensive, dismissive, and do not take the time to consider their clients' concerns. Not one bit! Are the parents not the customers? Don't you believe you should invest in building trust and transparency with parents? Not close to the customer comes first. Not by a long shot. Our child (age 3) had an incident where she hit her head. My wife was told by the manager that our daughter is clumsy, and she has seen her being clumsy. She is 3! Aren't they called toddlers? When she hit her head, a report was filed. At pick up, I was told to "just sign the report" as the person at the desk was on the phone. When in the classroom, I inquired about what happened and was told "we have no idea. It was with the morning teacher. You can just ask her tomorrow". What? The afternoon was like a revolving door with different junior staff covering, as the lead teacher left before 3 PM. They never greeted you when you came to pick-up. New faces never introduced themselves as "my name is and I'm covering for..." Never! They would say "Annie, your dad is here" and then return to what they were doing. This included either cleaning the room during school hours or uploading photos to their App on an iPad, not teaching or working with the kids. When our daughter started, they had no nametag for her place at the table. This went on for almost a month before we brought it up and they dismissively tried to tell us that they were "ruined" and required new ones. She never had one. More excuses! Then, they made one and her name was MISSPELLED! They are "teaching" her spelling, but they can't spell her first name. It was never fixed. The curriculum is entirely vague and we never received learning packets, progress reports, or any written updates on learning. If you do want your kid to sit in front of a screen and learn solely from a cartoon elephant, this is an expensive place where you can do just that. Go ahead, they are more than happy to take your money! In fact, that was their primary focus. Communication with parents is abysmal! Our daughter's lead teacher, the single element of consistency in this whole place, decided to leave and nothing was communicated to the parents. No phone call. No email. No communication of "since we are losing Ms. X, Ms. Y will be filling in for the rest of summer". ZERO! Complete reliance on technology. Zero professional communication skills. Honesty and trust are paramount with this dynamic. We got neither!

Being first-time parents and in the current world that we live in, we were very nervous sending our…read morebaby girl Jordan to daycare. We tried to take care of our newborn while working from home, but it was virtually impossible to juggle both and give Jordan her due attention and care, so we decided to enroll her in Little Red Birds after being recommended from a family friend. Needless to say, it was the best decision ever. The very first week was honestly very challenging as a parent dropping off my baby at daycare. She cried and clutched on to my legs those first few mornings when I dropped her off. To be fair, that was expected as our daughter was put in a new environment with people she never met. But much to my surprise, she quickly adjusted to daycare after just 1 week and now love going there. I have heard from friends how it took their kids 3-4 weeks to get adjusted to daycare so the fact that it only took Jordan 1 week says a lot. We appreciate the strict health and sanitation practices that Niara does including wearing a mask, taking our temperatures every morning, and putting on a new pair of disposable gloves every time to change our baby's diaper. This gives us peace of mind that the children's health is very much a priority. We love the very personalized attention that Niara gives our daughter that we would not get at larger daycares. Due to this, Niara has helped Jordan (and our lives) in so many facets: Physical development: Jordan has learned to hold her own bottle and sippy cup. She has improved her hand dexterity to grasp and eat solid snacks, use her thumbs to turn the pages of books, as well as improved balance and walking with a walker unassisted. Jordan also loves to clap and bob up and down excitedly to kids songs like "Baby Shark". Arts and crafts has also helped our baby girl with sensory and motor skills (see the beautiful Father's Day art project!). Feeding: While we struggled for months getting Jordan to drink her milk/formula at home, Niara was able to get our baby to drink her bottle at daycare and it has transitioned very well back home as well. She's now drinking her bottle better than ever as we used to have daily frustrating fights with her bottle intake. Jordan is also taking in her protein and fruit solids really well now too and her much needed weight gain and plumper self makes us really happy. Sleeping: Jordan has learned to sleep on her own now. It did take a short period for that to transition at home, but she is doing great with it now and it has freed up more time for us to get other home errands done and afforded us more rest time as well. Comprehension: The daily circle time with learning letters, colors, facial parts and reading books sure has improved Jordan's understanding of many basic words. She can also repeat papa regularly and sometimes mama occasionally. When I ask her to hand me a toy in her hand, she understands and will hand it to me right away. It's also exciting that Niara also teaches sign language to further assist with the communication between student and teacher. Activities: Niara has also taken the kids on occasional fields trips which includes the local spray park, the zoo and the aquarium! We love that our baby Jordan can go out, explore and experience things in real life and not just see things in books. This is such a huge huge plus and we greatly appreciate and willingly provide the extra funds for her to enjoy these exploration trips! All in all, my wife and I greatly appreciate everything Niara provides and has done for our baby girl. She has improved Jordan's life in so many areas and in turn improved our family's overall well-being and happiness. We cannot recommend Niara and Little Red Birds enough as a great daycare.

I was wrong! Ms. Niara is so loving and nurturing and made me feel so comfortable leaving my child in her care. Not only that, my son has grown so much and is an active and kind toddler. He can identify animals, shapes, colors. He knows his alphabets and numbers. He completes age-appropriate puzzles and plays well with others. I couldn't be more grateful to Little Red Birds and Ms. Niara for all she's done for my son.

Don't come there. The management is a mess…read more My son's face got a 6 cm scratch there. The teacher told me, when this happened, none of the teachers was in the room. There are only two teachers here. But has more than 4 rooms in there. Students could run between each room. Teachers don't know how to regulate kids' behaviors. And the principal doesn't have a permit for the aftercare program. She told me they had waived from town. The waive program is not for the after-care school program as other daycare provided. It is like a kind of learning program, not a similar aftercare program as you know. Also later, she deletes the after-school website. She never told us this before we enrolled in the program.
