We are so thankful for Little Tykes! We are so thankful we switched our kiddos here. Our three kiddos have all looked forward to going there every day! The owner Ms Paula is truly invested and is one of the lead preschool teachers, so is always involved in the day to day! All of the staff is so kind, patient, and compassionate. We have had kiddos in all classrooms/age ranges and have nothing but wonderful things to say. We greatly appreciate how low turnover there is with the staff. Highly recommend LTLC!!
Alexandra ArnoldJul 27, 2026We absolutely love this place. All 3 of our daughters have been part of the Little Tykes family for the last 3 years. They have learned so much and continue to grow into kind, loving, little ladies thanks to the wonderful staff. Paula has been a tremendous help for us when we needed it during our hardest times. We wouldn’t trust them with anyone else!
Lauren McCullochJun 13, 2026We couldn't be happier with our experience at Lyttle Tykes Learning Center! From day one, Paula has been an outstanding communicator — always keeping parents informed, responsive to questions, and genuinely invested in every child's experience. It's clear she sets the tone for the entire center. The teaching staff is absolutely wonderful. They have a rare gift for making every child feel comfortable, seen, and excited to learn. The warm, welcoming environment they've created is something special — our kids truly feel at home here. If you're looking for a learning center where your children are not just cared for but genuinely nurtured, look no further. Lyttle Tykes is the real deal. Highly recommend!
Jacob MarcotteJun 12, 2026Kind, caring, attentive and phenomenal staff. Incredible meal/snack and homemade dinner program. We feel very lucky to have our son enrolled.
Brian MyersJun 12, 2026We had to make a difficult decision to move our little one to a different care center after he had spent the first couple of years of his life with a provider he loved - we were nervous! Little Tykes is AMAZING. The staff is wonderful and full of kind, empathetic, and compassionate teachers and managers. When our son was having some behavioral challenges, they made sure to work with us and it was a team effort to help get him back on track (and they did!). We are so, so grateful to have found LTLC and we will be so sad when our son has to graduate preschool next year! Anyone would be lucky to find a spot for their child at this center.
Mary MyersJun 12, 2026My children loved their time at Little Tykes, highly recommend. The teachers were kind and my children were well prepped for kindergarten. There were many activities and friends to play with. They do offer a lunch service so no need to pack a lunch if you don’t have time.
