Little Mud Puddles Learning Center

Most health conscious and child centric day care I visited (for example, child size toilet and child height wash basin, boy/girl separated restrooms). Most spacious outdoor play area with tall trees, outdoor xylophones, child cabins and sand play area, in addition to typical slides. (Unlike many daycares with old tricycles lying around - I think its not safe to have kids with mixed activities where some ride bikes while others walk/run). Its also one of the best places that offer hot food cooked onsite for both breakfast and lunch. The kitchen is spotless. The most impressive thing is they clearly list each childs dietary needs on the table with color coding beyond allergy, for example, no egg, pork ok but no beef, vegetarians etc. its also unique that they invest in security cameras and parents can watch their kid all day long in an app. The curriculum is good with comprehensive evaluations 3 times a year. Overall, very impressive. The only thing on my wishlist they dont have is the Montessori style and some toys are a bit worn out (but still very clean, the classroom carpets are so spotless).

My son has been in the pre-K program at Little Mud Puddles for a month and he loves it. The teachers are warm and relaxed, unlike some preschools where it seems like the adults are overwhelmed. You can tell they genuinely enjoy working with young children. The school has a fantastic outdoor area with a sand pit that the kids love to play in. They do phonics and handwriting programs, which is nice, but I care more about my son learning the non-academic skills he needs for kindergarten -- how to follow a routine, solve conflicts with other kids, cooperate and play in a group, etc. The teachers are amazing at knowing just how much to step in to guide the kids on that stuff so they can learn and grow. I'm so happy we found Little Mud Puddles!
