Little Dreamers Academy

There are some reviews that make you smile, and then there are reviews that make you stop, read them again, and remember exactly why you do what you do. This is one of those reviews. 💙 Thank you, truly, for taking the time to share your family’s experience with Little Dreamers Academy. Having four of your children come through our doors over the years is something we do not take lightly. The fact that you trusted us the first time means so much, but knowing that you fought to get your second round of babies through our doors is a level of trust that is difficult to put into words. We also laughed at wanting to know if he “even touched a pea” 😂 because those little details really DO matter! To someone else, it may just be whether a child ate lunch that day. To a parent who knows their child and has been worried about whether they will eat, it matters tremendously. If giving you those details helped you better support him at home, then those details were worth giving. What touched us most, though, was reading about the growth you have seen in your children over the years. Hearing that your 5-year-olds entered kindergarten confident and independent, that their teachers are already recognizing their knowledge, and that one carried Spanish learned from Ms. Rocio right along with them into elementary school makes us incredibly proud. And now, getting to watch your 3-year-olds begin their own transformation is something very special. You described something that is at the core of what we believe at LDA: children do not all need the same thing simply because they are the same age. They come to us with different personalities, strengths, challenges, voices, and ways of learning. Our responsibility is to meet them where they are, figure out what helps that child grow, and sometimes change our approach until we find what works. And yes, we love our babies fiercely, but we are also preparing them for a world beyond our doors. 💙 We want them to know that their voices matter, that they can work through conflict, that they can try again when something is difficult, that there are boundaries and expectations, and that being corrected never changes the fact that they are loved. We are creating leaders, and reading that you can see those qualities in your children years later is one of the greatest compliments you could give our teachers and administrative team. Thank you for also recognizing the importance we place on honest communication. We may not always have perfect days, because children, teachers, parents, and administrators are all human. But families deserve honesty, communication, accountability, and a team willing to address concerns and work together when something needs attention. Finally, what you said about how terrifying it can feel to leave your children in someone else’s care nowadays stayed with us. We understand what parents are placing in our hands every morning. As you so perfectly said, your babies are your most valuable thing. Thank you for trusting us with yours, not once, but again and again. Your family has been part of the LDA story for years, and we are incredibly grateful that you shared a little of that story here for other families to read. From all of us at Little Dreamers Academy, thank you for trusting us, growing with us, and allowing us to love, teach, challenge, and cheer for your babies along the way. 💙 — The Little Dreamers Academy Family

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! 💙 Reading your words means so much to our entire Little Dreamers Academy family. Creating a place where children feel loved, supported, encouraged, and excited to learn is at the heart of everything we do. Just as importantly, we want our families to feel welcomed, heard, and confident that they have a team standing beside them throughout their child’s journey. Your special recognition of Ms. Alvie, Ms. Ursula, Ms. Christine, Ms. Bee, and Ms. Lindsey is truly appreciated. We will make sure they know that the care, patience, encouragement, and dedication they bring each day have made such a meaningful impact on your family. And to have you extend that appreciation to our entire staff makes it even more special. 💙 Thank you for trusting Little Dreamers Academy with your children and for allowing us to be part of their growth and development. There is no greater compliment than knowing a family feels genuinely cared for here, and your recommendation means the world to us. With heartfelt appreciation, The Little Dreamers Academy Family 💫

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Little Dreamers Academy! 💙 We truly appreciate your kind words about our team. One thing we value deeply at LDA is having honest, open communication with our families. We believe celebrating a child’s successes is just as important as working together through any challenges that may arise. Our goal is always to make sure every child feels supported, cared for, and encouraged to grow. Thank you for trusting our team to be a part of your child’s journey. It means more to us than you know! 💫 — The Little Dreamers Academy Team

We are truly saddened to read this review. Your son has been a part of our Little Dreamers family since 2023, and during that time we have consistently worked to support him and your family. To suggest that there was no communication, no effort, or no partnership is simply not an accurate reflection of the situation. Over the course of several months, staff and administration addressed repeated incidents involving choking, hitting, scratching, pushing, and aggressive behavior toward both classmates and teachers. The safety of all children in our care — as well as the safety of our teachers — is and will always be our highest priority. When any child is being harmed, we are obligated to act. We would do the same if another child were repeatedly choking or striking your son. In fact, we know any parent would expect us to. We communicated concerns regularly. You were contacted multiple times. You came in personally and observed the behavior without your child knowing you were present. You were also shown video documentation. At that time, you acknowledged the severity of what was happening. In an effort to support him, we adjusted classroom placement to see if a different environment would help. Our Director worked directly with him and the staff. We did not immediately move to suspension — we worked through ongoing incidents for an extended period of time before reaching that step. The suspension referenced was a result of continued aggressive behavior that posed a risk to other children and staff, not a sudden or isolated event. We understand that this was a difficult season. However, framing this situation as though there was no compassion, no communication, and no support does not reflect the months of effort that were made. Little Dreamers Academy has a responsibility to every family enrolled. When a child’s behavior becomes physically harmful to others, we cannot ignore it. Our policies exist to protect children — including yours — and to protect the teachers who care for them each day. We wish your family the best and sincerely hope your son receives the support he needs during this time. Our commitment remains the same: to provide a safe, nurturing environment for every child in our care. — Little Dreamers Academy

Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved having both of your boys with us here at Little Dreamers Academy and are so glad to know you felt supported and cared for. Watching them grow and learn was such a joy. We wish your family all the best! 💛

Ms. Bennett, Your review does not accurately reflect the events that occurred. At Little Dreamers Academy, we handle all families and concerns with professionalism, fairness, and respect. While we welcome open communication, we cannot and will not tolerate hostility, bullying, or disrespect directed toward our staff or directors. Such behavior disrupts the respectful atmosphere we maintain for our children, families, and employees. We take pride in being a well-respected childcare center in our community, known for providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children thrive. Our tuition rates are more than fair for the level of care and education provided, and many families value the excellence and affordability we deliver daily. While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, we stand firmly by our standards and our team. We remain committed to protecting the positive environment that so many families trust and appreciate. We wish you and your child the very best moving forward. — Little Dreamers Academy

💖 Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re overjoyed to hear that your son loves coming to Little Dreamers Academy each day—that truly means the world to us. Our teachers and staff pour their hearts into creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can grow in confidence, skills, and joy. Knowing that you see and appreciate the balance of learning and play we strive for is such a gift. We’re so grateful to have your family as part of our Little Dreamers family, and we look forward to continuing this wonderful journey together!

Thank you for taking the time to visit and tour our center. We’re genuinely sorry to hear your interpretation of the visit, as it does not align with the information that was clearly and kindly provided during our conversation. To clarify: ✅ While we do not have teachers with specialized certifications in special needs education, we absolutely welcome children with special needs. In fact, during your tour, you were informed that we currently have children with special needs in classrooms who are thriving. As explained, our approach is always child-focused—we assess every child’s adjustment once they begin, which applies to all children, not just those with additional needs. ✅ Regarding discounts: you were informed that we do not offer a military discount directly, but we do accept families through the Child Care Aware of America program, which many military families qualify for. We also explained our 5% sibling discount, which is our only direct tuition discount. ✅ Our two-week deposit policy was explained in detail during your tour. It is applied toward the last two weeks of care, not the first. You were also informed that if you choose to hold a spot and then decide not to enroll, the deposit would be forfeited—something you acknowledged understanding at the time. We always strive to be upfront and transparent with every family, and it’s disappointing to see this misrepresented publicly after a respectful in-person discussion. We wish you the best in finding a program that suits your family’s needs.

Thank you so much for sharing such kind words! 💛 Having Nevaeh with us since she was just 2 years old has been such a blessing — watching her grow into the amazing little graduate she is today has truly been a joy. We’ll miss her big smile and sweet spirit in our halls! Your constant support, kindness, and thoughtfulness toward our staff (and the way you spoiled us with goodies!) never went unnoticed. Ms. Ursula, Ms. Marina, and the entire Little Dreamers family are so grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us. We wish Nevaeh the brightest future in Kindergarten — she’s going to shine! 🌟
