Description: Little Scholars Childcare and Preschool recognizes and respects the uniqueness of each child. The school's primary mission is to foster a love of learning in each student. Little Scholars encourages learning and growth through play in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. Students learn to follow their curiosity, to think creatively, and to work both independently and cooperatively with others. At Little Scholars we celebrate diversity and strive to instill integrity, compassion, and confidence in each child. We give each child support and encouragement to become his or her own unique self. It is our goal to create an environment where the child's natural desire to learn is stimulated through meaningful, appropriate, and playful learning experiences, an environment that meets the needs of each child as an individual.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

How this place is still open is beyond me.Do not send your child here.I dont know how these ppl get away with the care or lack of they give. Its only a matter of time before an incident happens from untrained unprofessional staff and a lying selfish crooked director.
I would like to apply for a job here and I was wondering if you have a good spot for me. I'm really good with kids and I think this would be perfect for me. If it works out email me and let me know. Thanks!
I don't even know where to begin with this place. The staff is uneducated, rude and unloving to the children. The facility is dirty and the owner, if that's what you want to call her, is never around. I called with a complaint when my daughter fell outside and had a bloody lip and scraped up face asking why noon called me and I was told what happened when I went to pick her up and saw her face and she was hysterical crying. They said it happened at 11:30...I DIDN'T PICK HER UP UNTIL 6:15!!
The owner told me "kids fall its what they do!"
I will never go back. It's ALL about the money for them!! NOT YOUR CHILDREN!!
This place is TERRIBLE. Parents please beware. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through with them. They only care about the money. the staff is rude and doesn't care about the children. Tracy, the owner, is never there and when you call her she is rude. They are money hungry!!
They left my daughter in the bathroom. When I went to pick her up no one could find her. Then we look in the bathroom and she was sitting on the potty (she is 2 and potty training)
they said that one of the girls who works there must have put her on the potty before she left. AND NO ONE KNEW!!!
Who knows how long my little girl was sitting on that potty crying for!!!
I immediately reported them!!
It's so horrible there. When the girl opened the door and saw her sitting on the potty she laughed and said here she is!! My baby was CRYING you selfish, uncaring person!
Parents please beware they will tel you whatever you want to hear when you sign up but things go down hill quickly! I wanted to talk to the owner but she never even returned my call.
That place needs to be SHUT DOWN!!
It's also very dirty and disgusting!!
my kids cried everyday before i had to take them to school.. the daycare was dirty and unorganized the teachers were just OK but they could never keep the good teachers around long.. the directors openly complain about staff and parents for people and children to hear.. its not a professional daycare and am thrilled my kids no longer go there..
I Love It!
Little Scholars has a wonderful curriculum for the children. The center is very well structured and extremely secure. All of the teachers are very caring and loving and it is a pleasure to have my child there!
