My daughter went here for the last 3 years and it was an absolutely incredible experience! The staff was kind and thoughtful, and every day they had excellent educational activities for her to do that were also fun. Watching my daughter grow and develop and enjoy every day here was such a pleasure. She's learned so many skills, numbers, alphabet, writing, reading, and they've had so many fun artistic and musical opportunities for her to express herself. They helped with potty training, they took her on some really fun trips. She made friends and found community with her fellow students and with the staff. The center also emphasizes respect, kindness, and responsibility, and it shows! Every single day my daughter came home with fun stories, curiosity, and she couldn't wait to go back the next day. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a thoughtful, safe, and educational childcare experience!
Mike PrzygodaJun 22, 2026Since my son was one years old he has experienced love and feeling welcomed with open arms. He is now 4 and he has grown so much as a person independently as well as his academics. We couldn’t be happier at his time here at the center. Miss.Tanya is wonderful my son adores her. Miss. Premi the director she’s amazing a total sweetheart. Miss.T my son’s current teacher he loves her she’s kind and patient. As for the other teachers they are always so welcoming with a smile. We will truly miss the center and teachers but thankful he got the experience.
Vivian SaenzJun 17, 2026My child has been going here since she was born. She is 2years old, and it is a family oriented daycare. I truly appreciate the care my child receives on a daily basis.
Tenisha JordanMar 14, 2026While my child has never went to this daycare the communication or lack there of in most instances left a bad taste. I was supposedly put on a wait list back in October. I was told they also had another location opening and would call me as slots would be available soon for infants. Fast forward to December. I emailed about infant availability and communicated that I was on a waiting list from October because I left a voicemail the beginning wasn’t contacted. Someone emailed me back almost a week later and asked the age of my child, I emailed back the age same day. I was then emailed the following week stating to contact a specific person Premi Coles. Now if you work there and were already emailing to obtain information, why couldn’t you just let me know if there were availability’s for my child age range or not. I just left it there because I was frankly tired of the back and forth with no end result. January I received an email again asking about my child age. I responded with the age, was told there are two slots available for the infants room and was I interested in a tour. I responded back quickly letting her know yes, I am interested in a tour can she give me the dates and times. Well that was a little over two weeks ago. I as of today never heard back, which I’m not surprised. At this point I will pass on any further communication or possibility of my child receiving care there. The facility can’t communicate to get new business and schedule a tour or let parents know of availability the were supposedly Putin a waiting list for. I’m going to go out in a limb and say I never was actually put on a waiting list to begin with since I’m the one that had to keep checking back and wasn’t automatically contacted when these supposed slots for infant room became available. I’ll take my child elsewhere. The facility appears to be unprofessional and have communication issues z all of which are of importance to me in a child care provider. I work 5-7 minutes at the nearby hospital and thought it would be convenient to have my 4 month old child attend that daycare but I will continue to search elsewhere. This seems to be a common theme with these daycares, you have to jump through hoops to obtain the most basic information and feedback. IN RESPONSE TO THE FACILITY REPLY: I can provide emails of how long it took to get a response and then the fact that you all reached out stated specifically that you have open slots for infants and if I would like to book a tour and I replied back the same day stating yes and what is the availability to come in and got no response is an issue with the facility communication. If you’re going to run a business there should be a turn around time in which to respond and why reach out if you’re not going to follow up to provide necessary information. That’s bad business. However, instead of admitting you all dropped the ball you’ve made excuses. Remember you all told me specifically that you had infant spots available and I proactively responded the same day. After that not a word from anyone at the facility. Meanwhile I was already on a wait list and no one bothered to call to alert me of any openings without me having to reach out. As I stated prior there needs to be better communication on the daycares end. You’re right it’s my prerogative and I opted to no longer contact the facility. If there’s problems with communication now there would surely be once my child was enrolled there. I’m not the only person here that commented on the daycare communication.
Beautifully ImperfectJan 25, 2026DO NOT send your child to this daycare as a WOMAN OF COLOR. I called & spoke to the center director about an event to help women navigate motherhood & mental health & she’s not at all interested in seeing women being helped.She’s very rude, disrespectful & all about the money.
MIYA LewisJan 16, 2026Thank you, Lil’ Scholars, for taking such great care of my children! My oldest attended Lil’ Scholars from age 1 to 3 before transitioning to preschool, and my youngest was there from 2 months old until 10 months, when we moved out of state. The staff consistently showed professionalism, provided attentive care, and truly partnered with me in raising my children. I’m incredibly grateful for the love and dedication they gave to my girls as they always left with smiles on their faces. This daycare is well-priced, nurturing, and trustworthy. I highly recommend Lil’ Scholars to any parent looking for quality care for their little ones.
