Dear Toxic (obviously you are as your name states- Toxic!) As a parent whose child did attend the '13/'14 school year and NOT afraid to disclose my identity...Little Lions Preschool is by far one of the best preschools! My youngest (of my 4 children) attended last year & will return again this year...along w many other returning families! The staff adore the children! My daughter woke up every am excited to go to school. There was a full roster the entire year! To my knowledge, 2 staff members left to pursue other endeavors & I was witness to the emotion & love expressed upon their departure. The fact that the preschool is combined with the Early Childhood Education program through the high school, also means that the children have additional HS students in the class at all times. Constant interaction & structure. I know of HS students eager to be apart of the ECE program! As for academics, the classroom consists of late 3yr olds to 5yr olds...they do a wonderful job accommodating the needs of these age groups. It is not a kindergarten nor a day care center, it is exactly as stated, a PreSchool. I still work with my daughter on her letters, numbers, reading and skills, as I will throughout her academic career- as it is as much my responsibility to instruct my child as it is any school she will attend. Toxic- you obviously have your issues. I rarely, if ever, express mine in a public forum. However, Little Lions Preschool has been a gift to my daughter & my family. I could not see this and not express my adoration for this school and its staff.

This preschool is going down the drain. Several families pulled their children out mid year, and only two families in the whole center are returning next year. Even the staff is leaving (both aides have had enough). If you have heard good things about this facility it is probably from someone who had experience prior to the 2013-14 school year! Nice facility, decent price, but horrible director & lead teacher. If you want a place with NO structure, NO academics, NO discipline, and RUDE teachers then Little Lions is the place to go. I personally want to know that my child is loved as they learn skills that will prepare them for kindergarten. If you want Love, structure, and preschool skills…keep looking! :(
