One Of Our Happy Clients
My twin boys began attending Little Kids Playcare when they were 2-1/2 and stayed until they were 12. My kids were extremely well cared for and they were always treated with genuine affection. The environment was nurturing and kind and my children were taught to treat others there with respect and consideration. The variety of activities kept my boys engaged and they were eager to go to daycare and reluctant to leave at the end of the day. I am convinced I made the absolute best choice in sending my kids to Little Kids Playcare. Not only was it the best daycare solution for us, but we also made friends for life there!
