Rating: 5/5 Date: 12/16/2021, 8:34:26 PM Review: So I’m a mother of 2, a boy (2 years old) and a girl (an infant) I needed a good daycare that takes time in caring and also providing excellence education for my kids. So when I came across this daycare in my maps which is literally less than 5 minutes away from my apartment but also passing by you can tell they take care of the daycare just by the outside. Ms.Vanessa (director), Ms.Melina and Ms.Blanche (assistant directors) and Ms.Claudia (office staff) are always very nice and polite. They always answer any questions and/or concerns! I love that they made me feel so at home and at ease especially since it was my first time having both kids in daycare at the same time while I work and also get things done instead of running around all over the place on weekends. Ms.Megan and Ms.Jessica are my son’s teachers and they’re amazing. He loves going to daycare to learn and see his friends. Ms.Yuly and Ms.Deyamira are my daughter’s teachers and they’re amazing as well. I want to say thank you to Lil’ Rascals Academy for making not only me but also Brody and Emma feel safe and comfortable and always welcomed. ☺️

I have been promising my son a summer camp, but last year Covid hit and he was unable to go. So this summer (2021) I decided to put him in a camp. I went to tour a couple other places and did not feel comfortable at all. Lil Rascals is literally outside of my community gate, so I decided to stop by for a tour. I met with The Director Vanessa, which was very pleasant. I signed him up right away. The school is very clean inside and out. I have to say because my son is on the spectrum, he has a very difficult time and tends to complain about the simplest things normally. He never had anything negative to say about the place. To all of my parents with autistic children, this is a big deal! We will definitely be returning next year. Thank you to the staff of Lil Rascals.

My two boys attended the summer camp program and they loved the experience. The environment was super friendly and the teachers were all loving. i am super excited about enrolling them for the next summer camp program and this time i will brining along more of my family and friend to be apart of it.
I have two children that attends lil rascals. A twelve year old and a two year old. My experience at the school has been amazing. My two year old is fully potty trained and my twelve year old has matured so well with being in the friendly environment. The school is clean and very welcoming. The administrators are supportive and loving. The teachers are amazing.
The entire staff of Lil' Rascals is not only very attentive to all the childrens needs, but also very nice and engaging. From the first day I met the staff, to the day I dropped off my son at this daycare, he has been in the best hands! If an accident happens, I am notified immediately on the incident, and how he is doing (including what was done to care for him). Having the Brightwheel app has also been instrumental in helping me feel confident and comfortable knowing I get updates throughout the day on how my child is doing. I have had the best experience thus far! Amazing team and center.
My son loved Summer Camp and only spent 2 weeks there. He is already excited about the next one. I was delighted with everything, the facilities, the location, the teachers, the activities for the children. I recommend it 100%.
Ms. Keisha is verbally abusive towards kids, she told my granddaughter to go cry in a corner! My granddaughter would come home with scratches, open cuts and no reports were ever filed; when asked the administration never knows anything. whenever a child doesn’t eat they are obligated to write it down on a form and send that form home however we were never notified. During nap time they’d make my grandchild cry herself to sleep and not once was my daughter notified of any issues. The only staff member dedicated to the well being of my grandchild was Ms. Jazmine. Other than that I will be reporting this to proper authorities
Amo este lugar, específicamente la profesora de pre-k la señora Idania, mi hijo se sintió con ella protegido, querido y cuidado. Ella es muy dulce con los alumnos y con los padres.
Excellent staff definitely feel comfortable everyday dropping off my child, his safety is a first priority and they definitely provided that !
