I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son went to Little School House from age 2-5. He absolutely loved it there and still talks about his teachers. We loved that the center feels like a home and that only one or two people had our son a day. The staff knew him well and they all became like a second family to us. They truly care about the kids in their care. The prices were always fair and the owners always worked to be sure that the best teachers and helpers worked at their center. Everyone there always was willing to help with any questions or help that we needed. I have recommend Little School House to many and will continue to do so!
