I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Little learners is a HUGE family. From the owner, to the classroom teachers- I know that my child is safe & it is evident by his love to return to school each day. My little ones vocabulary is growing so fast. I am often shocked at how well he is doing in such a short amount of time. As a parent who was very hesitate to send my child to a daycare, I have no major concerns sending my LO to this center.

Daycare is very unprofessional. Staff are very unprofessional as well. The owner doesn’t communicate effectively with the parents. Not enough staff to properly provide services for all the children.
