HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! My daughter ABSOLUTELY loves coming to Little Ducklings Daycare! I was nervous about how she’d adjust to this big transition since I started working…but I must say that the entire staff is PHENOMENAL! My daughter loves her teachers, her new friends, the activities, and became acclimated to daycare within 5 days of going! Seeing her excited and singing about going to school in the morning gives me peace and helps me tackle my work day! If she’s happy, I’m happy! I can tell that she’s learned so much and is opening up. She’s engaging in the activities and I love to see the videos and pictures of her participating! Thank you all so much for being so welcoming, encouraging and loving every day! This daycare gives a family atmosphere, and I’m so grateful!

My kids have been apart of Little Duckling Daycare for 10 years!! I couldn’t have asked for a better daycare! Although I love each and every one of the teachers, Mrs. Mary has become a bonus grandmother to my children. She loves all her babies and has taught them so much throughout the years. Her heart is truly for the kids. My daughter is 3 and every day she tell me that she’s going to call her teacher on me because I’m being mean(telling her no) lets me know how much my child trusts in her teacher. Thank you little duckling for being awesome to my babies. 🫶🏾

Ms. Mary is the absolute sweetest. She’s very attentive to her kids needs, gives great feedback on their development and helps make sure they are on the right path. My son calls her his best friend and I believe he means it wholeheartedly!

I love Ms Mary. She treats the children as if they were her own ❤️. She goes above and beyond making sure the children learns. Ms. Mary taught my oldest daughter how to tie her shoes at 3. My daughters love her so much. Everyone there is so loving.
