I LOVE THIS DAYCARE MY 10 YEAR OLD SISTER WENT HER WHEN SHE WAS A BABY THE CARE PROVIDED WAS AWESOME AND NOW MY 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER GOES HERE SHE STILLS CRYS IN THE MORNING WHEN DROPPED OFF , BUT THATS NORMAL AND WHEN I PICK HER UP AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE IS VERY HAPPY !
My son currenty is attending Little Angels (or as he calls it Choo-Choo school). He loves going everyday and loves his teachers especially Miss Michelle. I would recommend this daycare to anyone as the staff supports you and your child's learning experience.
He gets excited everyday when its time to leave, never a struggle, because he enjoys it so much. I am so appreciative to everyone at this school for their love of teaching.
My 2 daughters are at Little Angel Saint Cecilia's and I'm very happy with the care they receive. The care givers love the kids and are very focused on kid's development. My oldest is in preschool and going to kindergarden next year. Little Angel is doing a great job preparing her from an educational and social stand point. I researched many other places in the area when I was looking for a day care/preschool and this is the best place in the area.
My son has been a "Little Angel" since he was 2! He loves it! They treat the children there like their own and I always know he is safe and happy! They take field trips almost every month - he LOVES riding the bus! You can't find higher quality at this price anywhere.
