We are so grateful we are able to send our kiddo here. We are very lucky to live nearby and I’ve been able to go everyday to breastfeed my child over my lunch break. A delightful but unintended consequence of this is that I get to spend time each day in his classroom interacting with his teachers, and I witness firsthand how much they care about each one. Lunch and bottle time is busy, but they are total pros with each kid. It’s a super supportive environment for both parents and babies. The kids have great open floor space to move and learn. The teachers meet each kid at their developmental level, and clearly care deeply about each one. The entire staff really makes an effort. They’ve been great with baby led weaning and accommodate all feeding needs easily. It’s not easy to get into, so I would call as soon as you learn you are pregnant, but if you can get a spot it’s absolutely a great environment!

I called last Friday, left a voicemail for pricing and information and never received a call back.

PLEASE READ!!!!!I am writing this because I want to speak about this daycare and how unprofessional it is. Hopefully by writing this, people are aware about the staff at Little Lambs and how they treat their employees.My sister was treated awful as an employee at Little Lambs. When she got hired, she was immediately treated with complete disrespect and endured unfair treatment every single day by all of the employees.One example is that on her first day, she walked in and saw that many of the teachers were on their phones. She knows not to be on her phone and despite that, she was given 3 write-ups within no time.... but where were the other teacher's write-ups? And if other teachers can be on their phones, how unfair is it that she is the only one in trouble. Leading by example is important, and they did not lead well or with example. Another time, my sister checked the time on her phone and a teacher told her to never do that again especially at nap time and threatened her by saying that "she could get fired." Within 5 minutes, that same teacher was on her phone at nap time. No write-up. Very unprofessional.As a new hire, she was learning the inner workings of the daycare, but the entire time she worked there one teacher, Becky, was rude and treated her with total disrespect. Becky was constantly telling my sister that everything she was doing was wrong. She was also telling other teachers that my sister was not qualified for the job and was always trying to assert her dominance by threatening my sister. Becky also does not wear a mask to work during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, putting the lives of the teachers, the teacher's families, the children, and the children's families at risk. That is not acceptable.One time my sister was threatened with a write-up because she left a mop out. However, another teacher had told her to leave that mop out until they all went outside. Another time, she was yelled at for missing a few spots while sweeping. The other teachers were very critical and hard on my sister despite the fact she was new and learning.Lisa, the director, told my sister that she didn't want her coming to a staff meeting because she thought that my sister would lose her job anyways, which seems like she didn't want my sister working there and new her position was not necessary. My sister was a new hire and she didn't know everything about the job yet, but she was learning.Whenever other teachers lied and told on my sister for things that she never did, Lisa would tell my sister to watch herself. Lisa then fired her after working there for maybe 2 weeks. Her reasoning was that my sister wan't fit for the job and because she claimed things were happening with my sister but had no proof. In one instance, a teacher told a blatant and horrible lie about my sister and Lisa believed it without a drop of evidence.Other teachers were always saying that my sister was doing something wrong and always reporting her. My sister even told them to check the cameras for the proof because she knew she wasn't doing the things people were claiming she did. Other teachers were lying on her name all of the time. When my sister tried to stand up for herself for this unfair treatment, it was brushed off. She couldn't report others, but people could report her. She felt like everyone was against her and that no one wanted her there. 2 new teachers were also hired at the same time as her, but only she was targeted. She was always told to leave early and left in tears must of the days. What kind of work environment is that?My sister has worked with children for 4+ years. She has a good idea what she is doing and experience. Upon getting this job, she was excited to learn more and be a teacher at this daycare. All the poor treatment she experienced and the utter disrespect only reflects the unprofessional and appalling daycare that is Little Lambs.

Both of my children have gone to LLMS with my youngest still enrolled there. My son, now in Kindergarten, was so well prepared for the academics, structure and socialization necessary for a positive school experience. Great school with loving caregivers and teachers.

Our kids are five years apart, so one would think they wouldn’t get to have the same teachers, but our youngest is enjoying the same pre-school teachers our oldest did. It is a family atmosphere with low turn over which gives you great insight into the dedication of the staff. They have been very accommodating to our part-time schedule needs! Our son wants to go each day. Can’t argue with that.

We have a three year old and new born at little lambs. The teachers in the new born room are wonderful and truly care about each chid as if they were their own. Our three year old loves her teachers and has learned so much. Would highly recommend them.

Our child has been attending for a year now. We've appreciate the hours of operation and that it doesn't close on days when the rest of the city might. Also in credit to the staff, they are doing a nice job of skill development and encouraging growth.

Our daughters have been attending Little Lambs for 2 years and it has been a great experience for them, they have thrived in the Montessori style of learning. We appreciate the small class sizes, the low staff to child ratio and feel that the staff is attentive the needs of the children. The staff has been very accommodating with dietary restrictions, they are supportive of breastfeeding moms and accommodating to feeding schedules for infants. Our girls love going to preschool and we know they will be very well prepared for kindergarten!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Little Lambs. My husband and I are protective parents, and we feel so comfortable leaving our two daughters at this incredible school. We have watched each of them flourish with the special care and attention they they receive. They are both performing so well, and we know it is because of the care they get at Little Lambs (we’re certainly not teaching them these things at home!). Mark, Lisa, and the staff are truly A Plus.

It is hard to say enough good things about Little Lambs. Our four and two year old have both been there since they were three months old. It would be very difficult to find a place that provides the care, attention and education to such young kids. It is comforting seeing the smile and excitement on their face when we drop them off and they are greeted by their teachers. Feel like my kids are well ahead of the curve and that is mostly thanks to Little Lambs.

My child has attended LLMS since 3 months old. We've truly loved our experiences throughout the years. Our child is well cared for, enjoys every day, and is learning so many new things. I come from an early childhood education background, so pleasing me is fairly hard to do. Little Lambs is an amazingly well run school and I highly recommend enrolling your child.

Our Son has gone to Little Lambs for two years and we’ve had an excellent experience. Little lambs is great because it’s a smaller, family-owned business that operates more professionally than the other chain daycare I tried for a year. Turnover is often an issue at daycares, but my son has had the same teacher the whole time he’s been there.

Our son is almost 2 and a half years old. He’s been going to Little Lambs since he was 3 months old. We love Little Lambs, and highly recommend them. We feel taking him to Little Lambs is an investment in his education. That sounds a little crazy to think about at this early age. We are enrolled in Parents As Teachers, and when she brings up the next learning objective often he has already begun working on that objective at Little Lambs. When he shows us a skill we didn’t realize he knew, we are reminded how much he is growing through the attention received at Little Lambs. Because of the responsibility taught at school, our son is not surprised when we expect him to wipe up a spill, hang up his coat, put on his shoes, and clean up his toys. (He is a toddler, so there can be protests and hiccups of course.) Over the weekend, he often says that he wants to go see his friends (at school). That is reassuring to hear from him.

We’ve been taking our son to Little Lambs since he was fresh off maternity leave (~3 months) and he is now nearly three. The staff is fairly progressive with the Montessori learning style and we can attest they promote rich sensory-based learning. The teacher-to-child ratio is balanced carefully for each of the four age groups and they are very transparent about which teachers are currently working in which rooms, and on staff in general. They place student skill above age; if your child is ready to move up to a more senior group, they will work to make it happen. The teachers also have excellent communication via email and text message regarding child needs or emergencies. Most importantly, our son loves going to school and is able to come home and discuss his friends, teachers, and daily shenanigans at dinner. He is emphatically independent, loving, sharp, and has a surprising amount of manners for a preschooler. All of these qualities we give Little Lambs a healthy amount of credit for.

We have two kiddos (2 yo and 8 mos) that have been going to Little Lambs since they were 3 months old. We love the personal care and attention that our kids have gotten from all of the teachers. We can tell that the teachers truly care about the wellbeing and development of our kids. Our only complaint would be that sometimes communication hasn’t been the most straightforward. For example, we were given very short notice before our oldest was to be changing rooms. Anytime we’ve ever had a concern, the teachers and management have been receptive to discussing it.
