Little Friends

I’ve had the best experience at this daycare. If I could give this school more than 5 stars I absolutely would. My son had an absolutely awful experience at his previous daycare. That being said, I have nothing but absolutely wonderful things to say about this school. You really feel like you have family members watching your child while they are there. My son is enrolled in early intervention and myself and his therapists have said what an improvement he has made in the time he has been here. This school has a wonderful program and does an outstanding job with the kids. Picking my son up every day and seeing how happy he is, is the best feeling ever. I can not thank the staff enough for providing a caring and naturing environment for him. A million thanks! ❤️

I have both of my children here one is in the infant room and the other one in afterschool. I never had any issues teachers are very good to my kids and any question I have everyone answers. They both enjoy being there and have fun.

When my kids were little, they left my daughter alone in her school yard without supervision every day for a week because they had to take kids to other schools in the school bus, so my 5 years old would wait ALONE in her school yard, one day they even forgot to pick her up. I found out because her school teach her heard her crying and called me. Of course, I took her out of the daycare. They're lucky I didn't report them!

LOVE this place. My daughter has had some challenges with speech and this place has helped her learn so much. My daughter comes home knowing new songs, numbers, etc. As a first time mom it was a little difficult for me to be accustomed to leaving her in the care of someone else. I'm glad I chose little friends.

I thought a lot about whether or not to write this review. At first, my child seemed to be doing really well at this daycare. He spent most of the summer at their first location, 650 Kearny Ave. Unfortunately, once he was moved to their second location, 744 Kearny Ave, to be part of the virtual learning there, he didn’t seem to adjust well. I was never actually told that I had to go to the new location by either one of the directors. It was one of the staff members that told me, the last day before he had to start at the new location, that I would have to drop him off there come Monday of the following week. I was never told about a price increase at the new location until towards the end of the second week. I was not asked to pay the difference for those two weeks; even though I offered to do so. I was not given any communication in writing or verbally about my son having behavioral issues until the day I was asked to pick him up and never to bring him back; aside from a note that made no sense the day prior about spitting, which my son has never done. I am in no way making excuses for my son because he is no angel. I would, however, expect a daycare to at the very least try to work with kids that are more difficult than most. Maybe make a plan of action so we can both work on it, from home and at the daycare. They never communicated with me that he was at risk of being expelled until it was a done deal. I was blindsided by this and had to figure out new child care arrangements. If your child doesn’t fit in their box, they’re not interested in putting in the effort. At the end of the day, they are a business and they want to make sure they do the least amount of work and get the highest amount of income. The one star I provided was for the two teachers he had at the first location and the few at the second location that truly cared for my son. I should also mention that My husband picked up my son one Friday where he had visible scratches on his nose and forehead and neither teacher could tell my husband what happened. They only provided an incident report later the following week. During the call to pick up my son, I was shamed for being upset that my son had scratches on his nose and forehead. I wasn’t even upset about the actual scratches. I was upset that I only found out about it when I picked up my son; and still no explanation as to why he looked like that. Just be aware.
