My child has been attending LL since 2023 and loves the teachers. I like the routine and play structure LL offers, including music class and daily outdoor play in their playground. The owner, Subha, is very communicative, which is a huge plus for a FTM. She truly cares about each child and their parents and it really shows.
HelenJan 29, 2026Little Leaders was recommended to us by our pediatrician and we're incredibly grateful for the level of care provided to our child. Our daughter attended LL for two years, beginning at eight months old, and had a very positive experience. She transitioned from crawling to walking, was potty trained, and always impressed us with all of the new words, phrases, songs, and art projects she came home with. Subha is a natural leader and the kids love her and all the staff. The tuition is very reasonable with breakfast, lunch, and snacks included.
Laura PetrowerDec 23, 2025I can’t say enough good things about Little Leaders (LL). Subha and her dedicated team of teachers are so wonderful and took great care of my son. We were so fortunate when my mom saw a flyer about LL in our basement laundry, and instead of just taking the number down, she took the whole flyer, as we had been looking for a few months since I returned to work. Luckily, when this happened, Subha was holding a special graduation ceremony/summer party at the Riverton, and she invited us to attend so we could check out her daycare. I knew then that LL was the best place for my son and us. There was only one open spot and we got it! Fast forward almost 3 years, and our son is a caring, sweet, creative, and sassy little boy. We’re indebted to Little Leaders for being so good to our son and family. He learned so much at LL. My son is now in a bigger school setting, but he often wants to go to LL and says he’s a LL. Indeed, once a Little Leader, always a Little Leader.
Leizel G VergaraNov 1, 2025Little Leaders has been an absolute blessing to our family! Our daughter attended for over two years and we really enjoyed our experience. The staff took great care of her from day one. What I love most is how even now that she’s in “big girl school” she still keeps in contact with peers and staff from Little Leaders. We’re grateful for the wonderful memories and positive impact they’ve had on her early years!
Charity Phalo-DavisJan 3, 2025Subha and the staff at Little Leaders Daycare are absolutely dedicated, professional, caring, and attentive with the children entrusted to their care. Our son started attending at 6 months old. It gave us great comfort to know that our son was in good hands with such caring staff. He learned so much during the learning activities, while socializing with the other children. It was wonderful to see the smile on his face every morning, during drop-off. Thank you Little Leaders for being apart of our son's early childhood experience.
thooper0421Aug 21, 2024My family and I are truly grateful for our children's experience at Little Leaders. The owner, Subha, and her staff were incredibly welcoming to our children. Our son who attended full-time learned so much and felt so comfortable and loved while there. They took the time to understand him, his personality, and his needs and because of that, he thrived in their care. He was introduced to everything from age-appropriate academics to important life skills like good manners and sharing. It also helped that they took him and the other children for outdoor play and games every day it was possible. Our daughter attended Little Leaders during the days her elementary school was not in session. The staff always thought of creative and fun things for the children to do while maintaining a safe learning environment. We moved from the area and our children still ask about the staff often.
