From the moment I spoke with Shyrell (owner) on the phone I felt in my heart that my son would be in great hands. The attentiveness, patience , and compassion that she displays is so assuring. My son felt so at home, and on the first day there he was comfortable instantly by the time I picked him up, even on the walk through. That’s when I knew that my son would be in good hands. I’m very selective of who watches my kids, and you can rest assured this daycare is reliable and highly respected. God bless Precious Little Hands Childcare, thank you for all you do.
Donna EllisonSep 8, 2025One of the most loving and positive environments you will find for your child. My child is thriving with Ms. Shyrell and absolutely loves going here everyday. The significant impact she has had on my daughters development in just a few months has made me eternally grateful for her and her skills with these young children. Very structured and routine and the kids simply love her and come and go happily everyday. Highly recommend seeing for yourself why she has straight 5 star reviews from her families. ❤️
Leah NusbaumSep 26, 2024The best learning center I have ever had for any of my children. Such a loving, family-friendly super clean learning center. My boys have learned so much since the very start... they never want to leave. Its nice to have a place where you can drop your children off while you work and know they are in such a safe, caring, clean, loving learning environment. Wish she was around when my older kids were little.
Cynthia SaltalamachiaApr 24, 2024Best daycare around!!!! Clean, affordable, safe, and such a friendly staff!! I've sent two of my babies and they both love being there! It's much more than a typical daycare, this place is filled with love and laughter!! The kids learn so much and have play areas inside and outside. I love the play areas all involve learning. My boys have been taught so much its an amazing feeling for a mom to be at work and know her babies are learning and are in the hands of an angel. The curriculm and teachers there are absoutely amazing.. I wish this school was around for my older boys to have gone to. Anyone looking for a daycare/school, this is your place hands down!
C MMar 7, 2023If you are looking for a person who loves their job and goes above and beyond, you have found it! Ms. Shyrell is an amazing child care provider and educator. She brings different ways of learning to life each day for the children! Ms. Shyrell truly loves the children that walk in through her door. I am so grateful for the relationship she has with my child!
Katherine PalmaMar 31, 2022This is the best daycare /preschool I have ever encountered. I don’t feel guilty at all leaving my toddler here because she has the most Incredible time every single day. I get photos and videos daily. She incorporates fine motor, gross motor, sensory, language and outdoor play. They do great arts and crafts and Ms Shyrell truly treats my baby like her own. She feeds her nutritious meals and snacks. I am so thrilled to have found this place ! My toddler runs in and doesn’t even look back !
