What Parents Say
Little Lamb Nursery receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from most families, with parents praising the caring staff, nurturing environment, and warm, home-like atmosphere. However, one family experienced significant communication issues, including lack of notification about room transitions, failure to honor social media photo restrictions, and inadequate reporting of behavioral concerns.
Our family has been a part of Little Lamb since 2019, when our oldest started attending, and now our youngest is enjoying the same wonderful experience. We couldn’t be happier with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the incredibly caring and attentive staff. From day one, we’ve felt that our children were in a safe, nurturing environment where they could learn, grow, and thrive. The teachers truly care about each child’s development and well-being, providing engaging activities, structured learning, and plenty of fun! Knowing that our little one is in such good hands gives us incredible peace of mind. We highly recommend Little Lamb to any family looking for a daycare that feels like home!
Little Lamb Nursery has been a wonderful choice for our family since 2019. Both of our children have thrived in their nurturing environment, developing academically, socially and emotionally. The staff's dedication and genuine care have been evident from day one. The teachers at Little Lamb Nursery are great. They take the time to understand each child's unique needs and interests, providing personalized attention that has been instrumental in our children's growth. We recommend them to everyone we know looking for childcare
We've been with Little Lamb since 2020 when our oldest daughter was just 14 weeks old, and now our son attends as well. Our family and friends are always amazed at how advanced our daughter's speech and motor skills are, and we truly believe this is due to the dedication of the teachers and the nurturing environment Little Lamb provides. If you're looking for a daycare/preschool with a warm, in-home feel, we highly recommend Little Lamb. It’s been an incredible experience for our family!
We enrolled our infant son in full time daycare here for about 8 months. It’s a small, in-home style facility. The infant room caretaker is a gem and was the main reason our short time there was warm and comfortable. In eight months we never met or had any contact with the owner which seemed odd for a small daycare that is right in our own neighborhood. We signed a form as part of our contract specifying we did not want our son’s photo posted on social media. Yet on two separate occasions we had to reach out and ask them to remove multiple photos of him that had been posted, which seemed careless. We were not informed that our son was moved out of the infant room for several weeks after the move had taken place, and only found out because of an incidental conversation. I recently learned that caretakers take transitions very seriously and typically create a full transition plan for parents and children when they are moving the child to a new room with a new teacher, because it often triggers new emotions and behaviors for the child inside and outside the daycare. Any amount of communication regarding his move would have been appreciated. In the same day that we learned he had moved rooms, we also learned that he was having a very difficult time adjusting to an inconsistent schedule which unfortunately is just how our schedule is. At the end of the day when we were told he had a good day, and his report said he had a good day, we believed it. That he was ever having a difficult time was never relayed to us, and it would have been helpful to know so that we could have made an effort to accommodate him. These two examples are communication areas that I think any parent would expect from their childcare provider. Towards the end of our enrollment, our son began yelling “LAY DOWN”, especially when putting him down for a nap. We did not make the connection to daycare until he began responding to the word “school” with “LAY DOWN.” I also connected this to possibly moving out of the infant room. We moved into the neighborhood in 2020 and have been excited to be a part of Little Lamb before we even had our son. Though it didn’t work out for us long-term, our son was fed, napped, safe, got to play outside, and returned home mostly clean except for the typical little boy grime. It’s a lovely facility in a beautiful neighborhood and we are the anomaly family that had a really disappointing experience.
We have been with little lamb for 4.5 years now and I cannot say enough good things about them! The teachers are kind, caring, and compassionate. We will truly miss all of the teachers when my son starts kindergarten in the fall!
