I love this school. My daughter has been attending for the last year. They helped me to fully potty train her which I was struggling with. The teachers have good energy and are great at what they do. You can really feel how much the children loved and The new director Ms. Cate is the absolute best. If you’re looking for a new school for your Little one check this place out!!! I can’t recommend this place enough❤️

This is hands down one of the cleanest and most peaceful schools my son has ever attended. When I pick him up he is happy, and clean. They do a lot of hands on learning here and follow a well organized curriculum. My son has learned so much while attending here. The teachers are kind and compassionate, and the director kate is such a kind and understanding soul she has been an amazing addition to this school.

I love this little scholars and can't recommend this school enough. The environment is clean and structured. The kids are always happy and you can tell the teachers and the director truly care about the students. My daughter is always happy at drop off time. That says a lot to me because she doesn't ever want to leave my side lol .If your looking for a new school, check this place out because it's a gem!!

TLDR: DO NOT ENROLL HERE Oh, where or where to begin? Unsanitary, your kid will ALWAYS be sick. They will also call to tell you your child has run a fever, but when you get them home, no fever. Also, some how smells of horrible sanitizer every day. Your child will come home smelling of chemicals, and I don't know how the two coincide. Teachers are not vetted properly. Constantly understaffed. "after school" care is primarily teenagers. The turn over is several teachers throughout the year, just gone with no explanation. Major safety concerns, with issues with doors locking (or NOT locking). Code compliance has been here multiple times on behalf of parent complaints. Ms. Maria the kindergarten teacher is amazing with the children. She is this schools only saving grace. It is quite a shame that she does not have the proper support. The front desk/ director has no idea how to run the facility. She was put in place by the owner Maria (different from the teacher) who also clearly has no idea what she is doing, and she lives out of state, so she's rarely there to act on issues. The accounting is completely messed up, you will receive a bill for an outstanding balance that is usually a ridiculous amount (upwards of hundreds, even thousands!!) and then when you confront the front desk about it, she "doesn't know, you'll have to contact the owner or the accountant". Then you never hear back?? Maria the owner also has almost no shame when it comes to gossip. She will stand in the front office (which is where you have to check in and out) and will be talking about parents and their behavior, with little regard to who is around, even the kids! Personally overheard her multiple times. They have multiple days a month where the school is either closed, or days that are considered "camp" days, which means they aren't covered under your usual plan, so its an extra $10 a day. This is not just regular bank holidays, but extra days that will definitely NOT be covered by any regular employer. As well as you have to purchase tickets to the childrens events like their Christmas Concert or the end of the year "graduation"! Tickets are $10 per adult! To watch your own child! Plus they make you pay for the gowns and anything else.. definitely nickel and dime you to death, in addition to their pretty hefty price tag. Unless there is a major overhall done to this place, staff wise, maybe even ownership change, I don't recommend going to either location.

I would like to rate ZERO. I was given custody of my grandson by the state. I wanted to prevent him from being adopted by strangers. My grandson hadn't made two when he was enrolled. This school called me once to advise me that my one year old was trying to nap before nap time? I was asked to pick him up. They called me excessively to pick him up. Twice I was called because my grandson was running a fever. When we got home there was no fever or illness. They continued to call until I was let go of my job. If you have a younger imperfect child. This school is not the place. If you value your employment. Do not enroll your child in this school. As soon as I removed my grandson. He remained healthier. So I believe the school wasn't thoroughly clean anyway.

If I could leave less than 1 star, I absolutely would! We enrolled our 2 year old in this preschool in hopes it would live up to the great reviews on Google. I can truthfully say, it most certainly did NOT.We attended parent/teacher meet night prior to school starting, which is when my husband and I identified issues immediately. Our teacher for our son had her own 2 year old that would be in the same class, which is always a conflict of interest. However, this was even more than that. Her son couldn't quit climbing on her and screaming and crying during the meet and greet, while all of our children were playing in the room as we tried to talk to her. Afterwards, my husband and I were both very apprehensive in starting our son after what we saw. However, we decided to go forward in a trial period.The first week was okay, and nothing really stood out. They said our son was doing good, and there were no complaints. The second week, the complaints started, and they were so petty that I couldn't believe it. The teacher complained to me that he kept trying to open the door, and I told her to be firm and tell him no, to which she said she doesn't believe in being firm to a child, but just redirects. Ok, well good luck then! Then she said she had to change our son's diaper and was asking me why he doesn't like it and why he cries and wiggles. Then went on to say that his BM diaper was so horrible that she had to use a HALF PACK of wipes. I change my son every day, and even if I use a wipe once, the most would be 5 for the worst diaper ever. Then she hit me with the third issue, and said that our son crumbles up his cracker, and he's so messy. I have never heard such petty things come from a teacher in my life. Our son is 2!!!! Of course he's gonna fuss and wiggle during diaper changes, and of course he's gonna crumble a cracker sometimes. He's a toddler!In my honest opinion, she's incapable of caring for children outside of her own very needy child. If she didn't have her son in there, it would be much easier on her, and our children would get the care they need and deserve. Having additional responsibilities besides caring for her son, makes her more annoyed by our children, hence all the petty comments about my son. Our son cried every time he walked in and since we've moved him to a new place, he hasn't cried once. That tells me A LOT about what it was like for him.The school instructed us to bring pull ups for our son, so that they could start potty training them. But the teacher didn't want pull-ups because she obviously didn't have time to train or get them accustomed to it. When we decided to unenroll him, Heather, the front desk, didn't even ask my husband why we were leaving. When a new family leaves 3 weeks into a school year, you don't even care enough to ask? My husband told her anyway, and she just looked at him with big eyes and like oh ok. Then they charged us an insane amount for the 3 weeks, so we are leaving this review. We absolutely do NOT recommend this school, and are so glad we took him out when we did. We've since found an actual appropriate school with an experienced teacher, and a competent director.As a side note, the only reason that teacher was even in that 2 year old class teaching was because her son needs extensive care, and as soon as he's able to not need that, she will be gone. She's obviously teaching here only out of absolute necessity, and it's completely obvious.They've tried to report this so it won't be a negative hit on their ratings, but this all still happened, and no one ever reached out to me. Just reported the review so it would disappear. Not cool. This is for the Peoria location, not Glendale

My 3 children love little scholars academy. The teacher are all invested, kind, and great with children. The director runs the school very well. I tried quite a few schools first before I found this one where I know my kids are safe and well taken care of.

This school is absolutely amazing. I toured about eight daycares and I cried in all of them, until I toured Little Scholars, both locations. I didn't cry! I know it felt right and safe, the teachers have been absolutely amazing transitioning my kids into a school setting. My son is four and my daughter is two, all the teachers have been absolutely exceptional. They have been going there two months now. I recommended this school to everyone and what matters the most is that my kids love this school!

Idk about this school , did a tour. kinda seemed prejudice. No different races of staff or children . All Caucasian. Owner seems disorganized & rarely there . It looks cute but I believe most of these reviews are fake. Why most of their user names “a google user” . Smfh

We sent our child here for the 2016-2017 school year for pre-k. We couldn't be more pleased or happier with that decision. The school and staff are just wonderful! Everyone is so kind and caring. They had such cute holiday parties for the kids, a safe environment, and even planted a garden, it was such a wonderful experience for our child and us. Ms. Patty is absolutely the best teacher!! She did the most adorable projects and mementos with the kids, she planned the best field trips for them, and taught them SO much. My child is beyond ready for kindergarten, she has writing skills, counting skills (1-100), can do basic addition, and can read words. Ms. Patty is the best!!! Little scholars is amazing! I highly recommend this preschool!

The staff at this school absolutely is there for the children.They love their/our kids. They do lead by example. They have a great curriculum, the kids learn and have fun at the same time. The kids also get to be kids and play, while be in a very loving eniviroment. The owner Maria and all of her staff are truly dedicated to the well being and growth of ALL children. The only part I do not like, will be having to not go back when my son starts kindergarten. This place is a must. Thank you all for the excellent job you have done, and continue to do for my son and all the others who pass through your lives. I have been informed by son that Miss Patti is the best teacher ever and we will have to stop by everyday after kinder to say hello and get hugs. LOVE THIS PLACE AND THESE PEOPLE.
