Our daughter enjoyed her time at The Little College for Pre-K and daycare. The owner is well organized and on top of things. The primary worker was very nice and very caring and good with the kids. The pre-k lessons helped our daughter easily transition to kindergarten in the public school system. The program included lots of fun learning activities, plenty of outside play time, and focused on age appropriate learning as well as basic life skills. The facilities were always very clean and well kept. It provided a smaller and laid back environment for our daughter as we moved here from a small town and were used to a small daycare and were uneasy about going with a larger daycare.
