Little Dude Ranch Academy

Best decision we ever made enrolling our son at LDR. The day we met the director, head of financial and head of education we were sold. It’s the most nurturing, caring environment for these kids and they thrive. Thank you so much LDR for everything you ALL do every day!

Knowing there are loving protective, nurturing and understanding individuals in this world makes it easier for me and my family to have no worries about our Magnificent Maria at Little Dude Ranch. Rules were created to protect and to guide us in the right direction and Ave, Larissa and Michelle and there to offer that. And it is reassuring to know they go the extra mile for all our kids.

We've been in this place for two months and my daughter still doesn't like this daycare. She always says that she doesn't want to go there,that she's scared. I have concerns about the food because she's been having tummy aches. she's been sad,not happy as she used to be. If I want to transfer her to another daycare you need to pay for two weeks of not being there so they make you be stuck there

If I could give them zero stars I would. The school motto is only money. My children went to this school and moved on to a real school after a year. Come to find out the school continued to receive money from the government on behalf of my children after they left for a whole year. They threatened to send out account to collections when removing the children. This school is a complete joke. DO NOT RECOMMEND

My son is happy to go to Little Dude Ranch Academy every day, and almost always wants to stay longer when I arrive to pick him up. I feel so fortunate to have found a school where the teachers and administrators work together with me to keep him safe, to teach him how to be a kind member of a community, and to instill a lifelong love of learning. The administrators run a tight ship while being warm and real, and they have outstanding education credentials and experience. They know every student and they truly care. My son’s teachers are remarkable. They are kind, loving and passionate about what they do. They encourage my son to apply himself and focus while also giving him the freedom and time to play and enjoy being a child. They clearly work hard and are dedicated to creating a welcoming classroom environment that is conducive to learning. I appreciate how open and transparent the school is about the curriculum. I also value how quickly the school recognizes problems and works with me to nip them in the bud. They give real time feedback and are creative with solutions. The outdoor facilities are shaded, which is a big plus, and my son loves playing back there. The lunches are healthy and good, and I like not having to scramble to prepare food in the morning. He loves the food provided by the school and gets upset if I pick him up before snack time, so it’s a win-win. I love that they have students wash their hands before entering. It’s good practice and common sense. My son has been at the school for just over 4 months. In that time he has improved at making friends, he is learning to manage his emotions, he is learning his letters and numbers, and he is learning to love to learn. I have found it to be a great school.
