Little Stars Preschool

Loved the service and care all three of my kids received at the Allerton location. The teachers and staff were so sweet to my kids and I always felt they were in good hands! Loved their time there.

My child has been attending this school since summer of 2012, as this is her last year I am sad to see it end. The teachers and staff are exceptional they are warm, loving and caring. This is my only child and I was so scared about placing her in the school. They had reassured me that everything will be fine. After three years I have to say that I am very happy and pleased with how much my daughter has grown. The teachers are very good at what they do. I am very glad to have you guys in our lives. We will miss you. Thank you so much Little Stars. I love this school and will refer my friends and any parents I know.

Little Stars is a great place. I've sent my child for two years and I couldn't be any more pleased. The activities and teachers are very creative and nurturing. My daughter is always raving about the fun things she did in school. I also love the parent/teacher relationship they have. I'm always notified of changes as well as whether my child was sick. I definitely would recommend the school to any parent. Little Stars is a great first step towards a quality education.

Love love love!!!!! Little Stars School changed my son’s life for the better. After spending ten months at Little Stars, he is like a new child. I enrolled him in the nursery classroom where his teachers were attentive, caring, and involved. Being an educator myself, I can recognize quality child care and that is what I encountered at Little Stars School.

My son learned so much at Little Stars and came home with a smile every day. He learned letters, letter sounds, numbers, shapes, storytelling, science, and so much more. He engaged in hands on, real life experiments and activities when learning. Learning for him became very fun. There were many times when he didn’t even want to leave Little Stars. Before he started, I had been very worried about sending my son to school, as he was very attached to me and was very fearful of new people and environments. I was worried that he wouldn’t speak up for himself and that he would end up being ignored in a classroom full of more outspoken children. However, the teachers at Little Stars worked with my son, day after day to help him come out of his shell. They helped to instill him with a great deal of confidence. He developed friendships and learned how to speak for himself in a way I didn’t believe possible. He went from a child who wouldn’t leave my side and wouldn’t speak to anyone, to a child who makes friends at the playground and tries new things every day. Sending my son to Little Stars has truly been a life-changing experience for which I am utterly grateful.

I'm just gonna be blunt and say that these folks here only care about money. If you are looking for a location where quality care will be offered to your child, this is not the place. I enrolled my child in their nursery program for 3 -4 yo and I am very disappointed in their product. I choose this location because their website was well presented, and a few people told me they are very good and they had lots of pictures and particularly because of their mission statement listed below and the fact that they have been around for over 20 yrs :

Nursery 3-4 year olds
During this time we encourage our children to explore their growing environment and challenge them to learn while making friends and developing their self-esteem. Children are introduced to language, math, science and social skills through play, songs and concrete hands-on-activities to encourage learning one step at a time.

Their nursery program falls way short of their promise. From what I witnessed everything was done on a whim at this place. There is no set curriculum for the kids. If your 3-4 yo is independent, likes exploring and is very active, meaning he will not sit in one place all day ( which is most active and healthy 3-4yo) this is not the place for him. For kids this age, routine and consistency is the best approach.My child was there for about 6 mths and every two mths he had a new teacher. Without structure kids this age become easily agitated and restless, Which is what happens here, and when they do, they get yelled at. I witnessed it first hand. There are times when my child get home and he is so tense and agitated and stressed, it takes a long while for me to calm him down and this says a lot to me about what took place during the daytime when he is there. I wanted to remove him but I though that I maybe it was just me so he continued until I finally decided that my inclin
Majority of the staff are young females, and while they may have some formal qualifications, they appear inexperienced and intolerant of age appropriate behavior from these children i.e crying, running, etc.There are times when I walk in the building and the air is so tense you could cut the tension with a knife. It seem like there is always some friction among the staff and kids feed off the energy thats around them. The staff at times also display unprofessional behavior i:e standing around gossiping about each other and about the parents. It appears that a few of them have been employed here for a long time. They appear very comfortable and not the least bit concerned about the possibility of losing their job because of their behavior and that also says something about the management of this establishment.
I will give them props for presentation though. The appearance of the location is ok. The interior decor is also appropriate for it purpose but thats as far as it goes. They lack organisation and professionalism.
