Never thought i would feel safe enough to allow others to watch my children. We not only trust them but are so grateful for them. Not having any help or village we now do. They are amazing at communicating. Keep us in the loop and let us know if anything is concerning going on with the children. They have an app that lets you know what they had to eat and what they have done throughout the day. Having an infant plus a toddler and was very lucky to have an opening for both. We are just so grateful for this place. My daughter seems to enjoy going . Even gaining more confidence to walk . My 4 month old is reaching his expected milestone. I love that they really do teach the kids things instead of just baby sitting. I am excited to continue to see progress in these babies. I cant speak more highly of a company. As well give more gratitude for them

My daughter (2yrs) first attended little scholars about a year ago. At that time she was shy and didn’t talk much. She has now improved to be able to communicate her thoughts and feelings. She knows when she’s feeling happy, scared, sad, tired or even mad and isn’t afraid to let you know with her words rather than…
My daughter Juli went to Little Scholars West and she loved it! It was my daughter's first daycare. Sadly our family had to move out of state. I'm so grateful with the whole staff Ms. Jamie, Ms. Katie, Ms. Abby, Ms. Amber, Ms. Kat, Ms. Payton. Juli will miss you all. 😊
Their okay in some aspects but if your child has a hard time listening or is "to much" in their eyes they will constantly send them home whats the point of this school then it's to help teach our children not send them home just because their having an off day. Plus they won't change your kids diapers like ever.…
Our one year old has been at Little Scholars West since it opened in February. The staff has been great since day one and everyone in the building is always excited to tell us details of how our son’s day was when we pick him up. At pickup, there are also frequently art projects or pictures from his day to take…
Never been a fan of seeing a positive review immediately (mere moments!) after a negative one. Especially as it relates to daycares. No need to inflate your Google rating. Please look onward to other negative reviews.

My daughter (2yrs) first attended little scholars about a year ago. At that time she was shy and didn’t talk much. She has now improved to be able to communicate her thoughts and feelings. She knows when she’s feeling happy, scared, sad, tired or even mad and isn’t afraid to let you know with her words rather than just actions. She can recognize her numbers, letters, animals, colors… you name it. It has become so fun to see her blossom! She has better hand/eye coordination. She can properly introduce herself and much more. This is a great place filled with loving people who are passionate about your child’s development and it has shown.

Our one year old has been at Little Scholars West since it opened in February. The staff has been great since day one and everyone in the building is always excited to tell us details of how our son’s day was when we pick him up. At pickup, there are also frequently art projects or pictures from his day to take home. The location is kept very organized and clean, and has a nice large outdoor area with a playground. They seem to get outside a lot. We get updates throughout the day through a convenient app, including some fun picture updates and notifications that our son is eating all the food - he loves the food. Definitely would recommend Little Scholars West to friends or family!

So happy with the care my babe receives at Little Scholars West! Leaving my baby in someone’s care to return to work has been one of the hardest challenges I’ve encountered since becoming a new mom, but I fully trust my little guy is well cared for while in their care. The staff are kind and warm and embrace my babe like he is family. They’ve done a fabulous job making the classroom a nurturing and comfortable environment and are happy to adapt to my babes specific needs, as I’m sure they do with every babe they care for.
Driver of the transportation van this morning blew through a school zone estimated at 40 mph. Then at the red light I look over at her and she is on her phone. I called the business and the manager said she would address this when she arrived. But for the parents who's children ride in this van I wanted it to be known as well.. momma to momma my kid wouldn't be in the vehicle if I found this out picture posted on Spokane can't drive fb page as well
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While this is not easy to hear or see, I appreciate the accountability. Our top priority is always the safety and well-being of the children in our care. Although there were no children in the van at the time, that does not excuse the behavior displayed. This is not the standard we uphold, nor how we wish to represent ourselves and our families in our community. We are addressing this matter today with a child-first mindset and will take the necessary steps to ensure it does not happen again. I sincerely appreciate you reaching out and holding us accountable. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions or concerns. Best, Kerra Bower Owner, 509-294-9494
Little Scholars has been wonderful! They truly care about the kiddos and how they are doing all around. Ms. Catie is wonderful, kind and very patient. Ms. Jamie is awesome about communicating as much as possible. All the employees are just as great! From the time of intake to updates on availability to the meet & greet to the 1st day has all been great! I highly recommend these amazing people!
This is the best Daycare ever !!!!!!
