Ms Violeta sets the bar high when it comes to your child’s education! My son attended her school and I must say he has absolutely flourished with his grades all through his school years. I can wholeheartedly say her gift for teaching, style, school atmosphere and amount of love for the children, sets a solid foundation for learning in these young minds. I can’t be more happier with this school. If anyone is thinking of signing up or on the fence. Im telling you, it would be one of the best decisions made for your child.

My son loved this school and still talks about Ms Violeta to this day. He now is going into third grade and excels in reading, writing and math and is at the top of his class every year. She truly set my son up for success by helping create a solid foundation in all subjects and a love for Math!

Five stars is not enough!!!!
We are endlessly grateful for Little Ones Preschool and especially for the incredible Ms. Violeta. From the moment we walked through the doors, it felt like family. Ms. Violeta creates a magical, nurturing space where little ones feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Her patience, creativity, and genuine love for children are unmatched.
Our daughter absolutely blossomed under her care and Ms. Violeta was a huge reason for our Lucy gaining confidence, making friends, and learning through play in ways that still surprise us. Whether it was circle time, messy art projects, or learning to share and take turns, Ms. Violeta turned every moment into a meaningful memory. Our favorite was how Ms. Violeta encouraged the children to share poems and stories that they, themselves, read aloud. She would take videos and send them to us and those videos still pop up on my Facebook feed today and I see my daughter glowing with pride and learning to read in her tiny froggy voice and that memory wouldn't be without this amazing school and impactful teacher, Ms. Violeta.
She somehow manages to know exactly what each child needs and meets them right where they are. It's not just a preschool. Her school is s place where childhood is honored and hearts are gently shaped. If you're looking for somewhere your child will be truly loved and prepared for what's next, Little Ones is it. And if you’re lucky enough to have Ms. Violeta as your child’s teacher, you’ve hit the jackpot. No one loves your child or teaches your child the way she will. We love her!!!

This is the best preschool in Mesa. You will not find anyone who cares more about your child getting a great start to their learning. Ms. Violetta's approach to learning and loving to learn started our daughter on the right path and she has been a straight A honor student ever since. We credit Little Ones preschool for her love of learning.
