We’ve been with La casita for 2 years now our baby started in the infants class and has now transitioned to the 1&2’s. We are grateful and appreciative for the kind, love, care he has received and would definitely recommend.

This is such an amazing Daycare! It was my 2 year olds first time at a daycare and the staff was so patient with her adjusting. They care so much about all the children and do a great job. I love that it’s family owned. They always did arts and crafts and eventually send some of the finished pieces home with the parents every so often. They have an awesome app where they are constantly uploading pictures of the kids and keeping updates through out. They do spirit weeks during the holidays and they do lots of educational activities daily! Such an amazing place I highly recommend to any families who are looking for a great daycare!

La Casita Preschool and Childcare is absolutely amazing. Our daughter, who was 3 when she started and is now 5, has some medical issues and a slight delay. We were very unhappy with her previous daycare, where her needs were not being met, or even acknowledged, leading to a lot of safety concerns. We made the decision to pull her out of that facility and we were so lucky that La Casita had an opening for our daughter! They accommodated all of her needs, communicated with us regularly with updates and pictures, and genuinely cared about her well being. They always went above and beyond. Every staff member that we have interacted with has been nothing but courteous and polite, and the entire place has a very family oriented atmosphere. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you so much for caring for our daughter the way she deserves! 💖

La Casita is AMAZING! This is the second time I’ve had my daughter enrolled at this daycare. The staff and teachers are all very friendly and treat us like family. My daughter absolutely loves going, the only reason I am taking her out is because I will be staying home from now on. The app is great to make payments, message the staff and check on how she’s doing through out the day. They have different activities for Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving and other holidays. In class they can play dress up, have recess and you’re allowed to bring in stuff for birthday celebrations. They even had a picture day for all of the kids. I’ve never known a daycare to do this, so that was pretty cool. They helped with getting her potty trained. The daycare provides breakfast, lunch and snacks. I can go on and on with how much love and dedication the staff puts into this daycare and making it a great experience for everyone. They truly care about the children that come here. Should I ever need daycare services again this will be my go-to place!

I just called and this was the best phone call I ever had with a daycare. Sergio was very thorough about the entire process of enrollment and rules. He was very knowledgeable and transparent. I got the full run down on that one conversation. You could tell he really cared.
