I can't recommend Little Rays of Sunshine enough! I couldn't be more grateful for Christina, the owner, and her staff. They have always been professional and communicative to me and my husband, and truly loving towards all their kids. They genuinely care about providing a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment - the rooms are set up very well with age-appropriate toys, equipment, and furniture. They even hand cook the meals for the kids onsite. My daughter's vocabulary and social skills bloomed significantly during her attendance and specific issues regarding her illnesses, diet, and/or development were handled with utmost care and intention. Christina has also been overwhelmingly communicative and careful during the chaos of the pandemic. We had both my son (now 6) and daughter (2.5) at LRS and we are almost due with our third, who will definitely be at LRS in the future! Lastly, all the fellow parents are wonderful too and our family has made lasting friendships with many of them. Little Rays has made our lives and our entire neighborhood a lovelier, happier, and safer place. For that, I am extremely grateful.
We absolutely love Little Rays! Christina and her staff are the best. Our two year old has loved going to "school" every day.
