Testimonials: Voices of Parents

The experiences of other parents offer valuable insights into the quality of care and education provided at Little Scholars.

Juliana W.: "My sweet boy has learned so much here. When he was a baby they taught him baby sign language, they are helping him learn colors, cleaning up after himself and potty training."
Samantha H.: "I am so comforted when I leave my kids there knowing they will be cared and loved for like they are the staff’s own children. They’ve worked with us and stood by our family in the most challenging times. I could never imagine sending them anywhere else and am so happy to know that, when my kids are too old for daycare, they will still be a second family to us. I can not recommend this facility enough."
"It is such a relief leaving for work and actually trusting who you hand your kid over to for the day. These ladies are so involved and they take such good care of my baby girl, which is important when they play such a huge role in her upbringing. If I had the option to choose any daycare, I would absolutely still stick with them."

These testimonials highlight the dedication and care provided by the staff, as well as the positive impact on children's development and well-being.

A Focus on STEM and Character Development

Little Scholars Preschool is designed to encourage STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills. Most of the toys use critical thinking and problem solving strategies. Little Scholars also believes in the whole child, focusing not just on academics, but also on teaching life’s most important character lessons. Becoming a caring, compassionate individual is as important as becoming a strong, independent leader, and they will help your child discover what makes him or her unique in a fun way that they love. Little Scholars will also help your child learn how to regulate their emotions and communicate in a healthy, constructive way when they have a need or a disagreement with a peer.

This holistic approach to education ensures that children develop not only academic skills but also the social and emotional intelligence necessary to succeed in life.

Innovative Curriculum and Activities

Little Scholars' innovative, custom curriculum goes far beyond a typical preschool. They do not just do art, math and phonics! Their students also get to enjoy music, engineering projects, science experiments, sensory explorations, outdoor learning experiences, cooking projects and public speaking every single week! They also know how important it is to teach children how to regulate their emotions and manage conflict in a healthy way. They have monthly character traits like kindness and honesty and they work with them daily at managing peer conflicts. This is not the kind of daycare that sticks children in front of a tv.

This diverse range of activities keeps children engaged and excited about learning, fostering a lifelong love of education.

Reviews and Testimonials: A Deeper Dive

While many parents rave about their experiences at Little Scholars, it's important to consider all perspectives. Some reviews highlight areas where the academy could improve.

Positive Reviews

"This spot's the real deal for little learners! Their programs are top-notch - kiddos get to do yoga, coding, even chess. Plus, they serve up some delish kosher meals. My little one's thriving here."
"My son has been attending this daycare for a couple of months already, and we love it. The staff is friendly and communicative. My son loves his teachers Iryna and Tara. I appreciate how they take health precautions to keep my son safe as he has a dust allergy. We receive lots of artwork and evidence of hands-on learning."
"My daughter is happy at this Daycare Center in Marine Park. I have no worries when I drop her off. She loves her teachers and always talks about them and her day when she comes home."

Critical Reviews

"The management team is the absolute worst I’ve encountered in any program of this kind. The teachers are the best kept GEM, the only reason why I kept my child there. The enrollment team and educational director does not communication. One would think they are enemies. Forms would be completed with the enrollment team, but the site would share they never received them. Communication with parents is poor. Follow up with parents is poor. Accountability is also lacking. I’m shocked the owners haven’t started retraining and getting better staff for their enrollment team as well as educational director. My family has only used them for summer and they already went through 4 educational directors within a short span of 12 months. Is it the pay? Where do they get these people from?"
"If I could give this place a zero star I would. The staff doesn't care about children. My son was sent home dirty on different occasions. This place is not caring nor nurturing. They fed my son on the bare table, when I questioned Ms. Nicki she became very defensive and lied about my 2 year old son. Please keep in mind my son is nonverbal. He came home hehydrated and starving. The director iryna is very dismissive, clueless and doesn't follow up with complaints. I took my son out after a month and until this day I never heard from the owner nor the director. Truly a bad experience."

These reviews suggest potential areas for improvement, such as communication between staff and parents, management effectiveness, and ensuring a consistently caring and nurturing environment for all children.
