If I could give more stars I would! Not only is my child safe, happy and well cared for but he is becoming a better person by being here. I never have a concern with him spending the day at the little sandbox. As a former nervous mom, I can finally relax. Highly recommend
Samantha PaulJul 20, 2026We’ve had such a wonderful experience with The LittleSandbox. My son absolutely loves going—he waves goodbye before I am even ready to leave. The staff is incredibly caring and creates a fun, nurturing environment where kids really thrive. One thing I really appreciate is how much they prioritize outdoor play. The kids get plenty of fresh air and time to run around, which has been great for his energy and overall mood. And on rainy days, they don’t miss a beat—they switch to creative sensory play activities that keep the kids engaged, learning, and having fun indoors. He’s made so many friends and has become more social and confident since starting here. Ms. Cassita has turned him into a dancing machine! It’s such a great feeling knowing your child is happy, learning, and well cared for. Highly recommend The LittleSandbox!
Katie DeNapoliMay 1, 2026My husband and I are so happy that we found this daycare. When we first went to visit, all of the kids looked so happy and relaxed. We were very impressed with how clean the space was, and how organized Cassita was. Our son started here when he was 6 months old and now 4 months later he has already learned so many new skills. Cassita and Michelle also helped to get him into a great routine. When I drop him off in the morning I know he is in great hands. He absolutely loves both Cassita and Michelle, and he feels so comfortable with both of them. I would highly recommend this daycare to any new parent looking for a loving and nurturing environment for your baby or toddler.
Kristen UhrlassDec 4, 2025We love the Little Sandbox!! Our daughters have the best time each day, always learning and being well taken care of by Ms. Cassita, Ms. Chanel and Ms. Michelle. Everyone is so caring and our daughters have learned so much since starting in August. The daily routine includes lots of activities and keeps my daughters entertained and constantly learning. The daycare is super clean and organized. My husband and I go to work each day knowing our children are being well taken care of and safe. Such a relief to find such an amazing daycare!
Jessica StauntonDec 11, 2024We have had such a positive experience with The Little Sandbox. Our son receives such a warm welcome every time he goes and often times doesn't want to leave. It has put my wife and myself at ease knowing that our son is in such great hands. No matter if he is have a good day or if he isn't feeling well. Ms. Cassita and her team are transparent about how our sons day is going. They are all compassionate and understanding. They truly do so much in their day. From arts and crafts to playing outside and focusing on developmental needs that best fits your child. The Little Sandbox is truly our sons home away from home. We are so lucky to have these wonderful women in our sons life.
JasonMApr 1, 2024The LittleSandbox daycare has provided such amazing care to my little girl. Every week they do a project with the kids, very hands on and always keeping the kids active. Everyday the kids are smiling and dancing. Helping the little ones grow their motor skills while having fun. The staff is always so cheerful and loving. They are very accommodating when it comes to unique schedules. We are very grateful to have LittleSandbox as our daycare. When we drop our baby off we have no worries at all !
