Report
Our son has been going to Little People's Place for a month now and we are so thrilled with his progress. We were starting to have behavioral problems from our social boy being bored at home. It all disappeared as soon as he started the 3/4s class with Miss Kayla and Miss Leah. He looks forward to going to school and comes home in a happy mood. He also falls asleep fast for his naps which means he is being stimulated on all levels. We have already talked a friend into joining us at Little People's Place because we love it so much. Miss Kayla is also great about giving feedback on how our son is

This is the best daycare and preschool around. My child has learned so much and will be more than prepared for kindergarten.
