Recent parent reviews
We had a wonderful experience with this daycare. The staff always treated my son with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They created a safe, welcoming environment where he was able to learn, play, and grow. Communication was always great, and I appreciated the updates and the love they showed him each day. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was at work. We’re so grateful for everything they did for our family and wish them nothing but continued success. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring and dependable place for their child.
Danae GloverJul 10, 2026As a mother and educator I highly recommend Little Start Daycare Group. Both of my children thrived in the two years they attended Ms. Rocio’s program. They learned so many academic and social skills including speaking in two languages, coloring, tracing, identifying animals, colors, shapes, numbers, professions, transportation, days of the week, months of the year, etc. They participated in crafts, cooking, outdoor activities and trips. Ms. Rocio and staff were professional, organized and provided monthly newsletters to parents. Most of all, my children my safe, loved and well taken care of… which put my mind at ease every day my children attended daycare!
Kristin AlfaranoAug 14, 2025I cannot give enough stars to Ms. Rocio and her team. With many years of education and childcare under her belt, she eased my tensions when touring and selecting daycare for my 1 year old. They offer musical, art, cooking, science activities, and so much more, which is exactly what a wanted for my boy while my husband and I needed to work. A place to play, a place to learn—a place to grow. And my goodness did he grow! Before he turned 2 he was identifying his shapes and colors, spelling his name and his vocabulary has just exploded! I say it every day at both drop off and pick up—thank you Ms. Rocio and your amazing team!
Kristin RigasAug 14, 2025I was incredibly lucky to have found Little start group Daycare for my sons. For three years, they treated them like family, gave me invaluable parenting advice, and created a warm, nurturing environment that built their confidence and creativity. Helped with potty training and made it very easy to carry over at home. Always offered fresh home cooked food. The staff is trained to work with special needs children and on top of developmental milestones. The children follow a curriculum and my children have learned so much at the age of 2, including becoming bi-lingual, body parts, colors, shapes. I trust Ms.Rocio and her staff fully with my children and I’m at ease when my kids are there. My children look forward to going there and on the field trips. We love Little Start group Daycare so much and are so grateful to them!
Jehan MirAug 12, 2025Little Start Group Daycare was a great experience for our son. Rocio and her staff are wonderful. Our son’s verbal and social skills were a bit delayed upon arrival and in one year the growth we saw in him was amazing. The program has structure and a purpose. Your kid will not just be sitting around with a toy waiting for parents to pick them up. It is a productive, safe and nurturing environment that Rocío and her staff take pride in. Our son loved going there and we are very thankful for the time he spent there. Highly recommend!
Leo DiSalvoMar 13, 2025My boys love Little Start Group Daycare! My oldest has been going now for almost two years, and we started our youngest at 9 months & he adjusted right away. Mrs. Rocio provides a safe and fun environment for the kids to learn, play and grow. She is friendly and greets us every day at drop off. My oldest has learned his ABC’s, colors, shapes, and how to spell his name since attending. I love that they run on a schedule and they have a steady routine throughout the day for them. Could not recommend them enough!
