My daughter has been going to little miracles for a couple years now and is due to start kindergarten in September and i am not looking forward to leaving this center. As a single mother who wants the best for my child, little miracles has honestly provided my daughter with the education and confidence i believe she needs to begin kindergarten. Not only have i grown to love the experience my daughter has had their but I have also been able to have a great communication in my daughters progress and have felt as though i was a part of a big family. Little miracles is great, they care about each child as an individual, has wonderful amounts of patients and concern for each child s needs and i would recommend them to everyone.

I will begin by saying that this school was my first choice and my best choice.  The teachers care about the children more than anything else and my son enjoys getting up every morning to be there.  Their curriculum is great and his vocabulary and socialization skills are excellent thanks to their one on one time and efforts.  I would definitely recommend this school to friends and family.

It was so hard for us to pick a preschool and we are so glad we selected Little Miracles. The classes are small so our daughter gets a lot of individual attention, and has learned so much. I also love that even though they focus on a core curriculum every day (like what day it is, what her name is, etc) they have a lot of variety in the curriculum and arrange "special" days throughout each month.  I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a great preschool!

Little Miracles its not just a daycare, it's a place you can call home. It's an absolute blessing to be surrounded with such wonderful people. The teachers are loving, respectful and fun. The environment is very positive and the kids learn about compassion, about kindness, about respect, and about God's love. I'm so happy that my child is a part of this beautiful family called Little Miracles
