Parent Testimonials:

“We feel like we’re dropping our son off with family every day, yet we know he’s getting high-quality instruction at the same time. It’s the best of both worlds!” -Past Parent

“As the parent of a child with special needs, we feel blessed to have found Little Pups. The staff is caring, loving and patient, and they will work with you every step of the way to create a program to ensure that your child is successful in his, or her, learning environment.” -Past Parent

“This is the best Pre-K program I have ever seen. My child wakes up excited to go to school every day. He has fun while he learns and enjoys the interaction with the older kids in school. Michele, the director, and her staff run a state-of-the-art program. They have enrichment specials like music, technology, PE and more. The children are consistently engaged and challenged throughout the day and are receiving the best preparation for Kindergarten!” -Past Parent
