We had an amazing experience at Little Children’s Schoolhouse! Our daughter Delilah attended for two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the love, care, and education she received.
We watched her grow and learn so much through the many fun and engaging activities the school offers. Communication was especially important to us, and the staff always made us feel comfortable and confident that our daughter was safe and well cared for.
Every teacher was wonderful, caring, and dedicated. The fact that our daughter looked forward to going to school every day says it all!
We’re so grateful for the experience and look forward to bringing our youngest daughter here in the future. 100% recommend!

Our child had a wonderful experience at LCSH and we would recommend it. The teachers were caring and clearly developed a wonderful relationship throughout her time there. The staff were easy to work with and the hours and accessibility was very convenient.
Our daughter attended Little Children Schoolhouse from the time she was one year old until she graduated to kindergarten at age five — four wonderful years we wouldn't trade for anything. From her very first days in the infant room to her last weeks as one of the 'big kids,' she was met with warmth, patience, and genuine love from every teacher and staff member she encountered.
What sets Little Children Schoolhouse apart is how deeply the teachers care — not just about keeping the kids safe and happy day to day, but about their growth, their confidence, and their individual personalities. Our daughter blossomed there in ways that still show up in how she approaches her kindergarten classroom today.
If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be truly known and loved, not just looked after, we can't recommend Little Children Schoolhouse highly enough.

We send our child upon friends' recommendation. After a year, we found that their teachers are extremely careful with children and super nice in communicating with parents too. They're already doing a great job but sometimes you may propose something that they can improve, they'll do it right away. Maybe that's why they are a great place for children. Also, they provide detailed updates about children's meals, potty, and other activities with real time photos through the Brightwheel app. We like that a lot. Will send our child there again when We're back from another city, for a fourth year.

Our son was at LCSH from 4 months until 2.5 years when we moved out of state this spring. He was incredibly loved and taken care of, and learned so many skills. His teachers worked extensively with him to make sure he grew and learned. His teachers truly felt like family and Gladys, the owner, did everything in her power to make sure we were taken care of. We sobbed the day we left and will miss them dearly.
EDITED TO ADD: Our out of state move did not work out and after 11 months away, we came back to Little Children. We’ve been back for not quite a year, but it was like we never left. The staff are so incredible, and our son is thriving in their Pre-K program. I cannot say enough good things!

Our son was at LCSh from 1yo to 2.5yo and the whole family loved it! We are very sad to leave after moving away from Brookline. The teachers are incredibly supportive, caring, and have seemingly endless energy. Also, the majority of the staff have very long tenures with LCSh, which we value. The leadership team is also fantastic and helped make our experience even better. We highly recommend!

Our son attended Little Children Schoolhouse for two years in the Infant and Toddler programs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Gladys and the entire teaching staff are genuinely caring and attentive—you can tell they truly love what they do. The environment is warm and nurturing, and we always felt confident that our son was in good hands. We'll miss everyone there! Highly recommend LCSh to any family looking for a loving, supportive place for their little ones.

I think this place is wonderful. The way the rooms and "roads" have been envisioned provide a sense of neighborhood. Kids can enjoy indoor play areas during rainy and snowy days. You can tell a lot of experience, expertise in the field, care and love went into designing such a warm welcoming little school. The teachers and helpers are so loving and caring. This school is well run and organized. Our grandson learned so much from all the interesting projects.

There’s a million wonderful things I could share about our experience at little children school house. I loved the frequent updates and photos throughout the day. There was always something stimulating planned for the children. My child in particular loved music Wednesdays. The staff are truly caring, wonderful people.
