We feel so lucky to have our little one at It’s a Little Scholars. Since new ownership took over in December 2024, the transformation has been remarkable. Ms. Patricia (new owner) and Ms. Rosemary (new director) have worked so hard to transform the school into the calm, clean, and nurturing space it is today.
They’ve created a warm, welcoming environment where the children are truly cared for, and it’s clear the same care extends to their staff, who are supported, valued, and it shows in the way they show up every day.
We’re especially grateful for Ms. Shelly, who has been a steady, loving presence in our little one’s life. Her gentle, joyful approach makes such a difference, and our little one absolutely adores her. We feel so at ease knowing our child is in her care.
This is more than just a daycare, it’s a community of people who genuinely care about the children and their families. We’re so thankful to be part of it.

Our experience at A Little Scholars has been nothing short of exceptional. Since the new ownership took over in December 2024 and founded A Little Scholars Childcare Center, the transformation has been incredible.
Ms. Patricia (the new Owner) and Ms. Rosemary (the new Director) have truly poured their hearts into revitalizing the center, and the difference is visible in every aspect, from the thoughtfully updated environment to the amazing team they’ve built.
One of the best parts of the transition was that the wonderful Ms. Shelly, our little one’s original teacher, stayed on. Her warmth, consistency, and genuine care have meant the world to our family. She’s a big reason our little one is so excited to go to school each day.
The entire staff is deeply invested in the children’s growth and happiness. They’ve created a nurturing, joyful, and safe space where children are encouraged to thrive. It’s clear how much thought, love, and energy goes into everything the team does, from daily activities to the overall culture of the school. And as a parent, that means the world to us.
We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community. Thank you to everyone at A Little Scholars for the care and heart you bring every single day. We couldn’t ask for more.

The teachers at the school are great but unfortunately the head owner Ms Chris is very verbally abusive to the staff and children. She will yell at her staff right in front the kids. She does not give her employees any 10 minute breaks. And only gives one hour lunch after working 5 hours straight. Makes many of the teachers light headed. The school is definitely going downhill because of this horrible management. The school should be shut down and reopen under new management and the owner should retire.
