As a first time mom, i was nervous about putting my son in daycare. I toured many centers before touring Little Smiles. As Ms Maria explained the ins and outs immediately i knew this was the one. The teacher/child ratio is low so your child gets quality attention. The rapport built with parents is also worth noting.…

I highly recommend Ms. Maria and Little Smiles Daycare! She is very attentive and caring with the children. My sons language skills and helpfulness at home increased significantly.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Little Smiles for our daughter’s daycare. From day one, they created such a calm, nurturing environment that helped our daughter feel safe and confident, even after so many tearful drop-offs.
Ms. Maria is patient, and it truly shows in how she connects with the children. She took the time to understand our daughter’s personality and supported her with kindness and consistency. Under Ms. Maria’s care, our daughter has grown so much—not just academically, but in life skills. We’ve seen a remarkable increase in her independence, patience, and speaking and understanding Spanish- which we know is a direct reflection of the example Ms. Maria and her team sets every day she's there.
It’s clear that Ms. Maria genuinely cares about her kiddos and takes pride in helping them grow. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our daughter and our family. We're so thankful for Ms. Maria and her team and highly recommend them!

My two kids attended Little Smiles for a year. We had an amazing experience and have nothing but good things to say about Ms. Maria! The daycare space is kept very clean. We got daily pictures of the kids' meals, as well as pictures of our kids playing and doing activities. The kids are kept busy with plenty of art projects, dancing, outdoor time, etc., and are immersed in a bilingual environment (which was very important to us). The kids made great friendships with the other children, and always came home happily talking about their day with Ms. Maria. We highly recommend Little Smiles!

I cannot say enough good things about this daycare! The team is absolutely wonderful – they’re caring, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids. The activities they offer are so fun and engaging, and my son has learned so much during his time here. It's clear that the staff is dedicated to creating a positive and enriching environment for the kids.
One of the best parts is that my son always looks forward to going to daycare. That in itself speaks volumes about how much he enjoys being there and how comfortable and happy he feels. I’m so grateful for everything they do and highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place that truly invests in their child's growth and happiness.

We love Mrs. Maria. She is amazing with the kids and truly cares about them. She sends picture updates daily so you know what they are eating and doing. They sing dance and do yoga. Highly recommend this daycare!
