“100% recommend Little Sprout Academy.

My son has been there since he was 1.5 and he's 4 now.

Going back to work when he was 1.5 was hard after being home with him, but one day when I picked him up I saw the teachers holding him and interacting with him and I knew they cared about him as much as I do. That was huge for me. He runs in happily every morning and comes out excited to tell me about his day. He has great friends there.

He was a pretty cautious toddler when he started - didn't like tunnels, parachutes, sprinklers, water stuff. He'd just stand to the side and watch everyone else. The teachers never pushed him though, instead they created a nurturing environment where he felt confident to join in when he was ready. Over time I started seeing photos of him actually joining in with the parachute games and the day he came running out to tell me he got his face wet with the sprinklers was awesome, he was so proud of himself!

He's learned a LOT. He is incredibly independent, can tell stories, do basic addition, knows all his letters and most of the sounds. The teachers do progress reports once a year and they're easy to talk to at drop-off and pickup if there are any highlights or concerns and they’re very easy to get on the phone if there’s something more serious to talk about.

I'd recommend LSA to anyone! It’s a great day care and preschool!”

“We started here when my son was 5 months old and he loves his teachers! Ms. Kay always has such a positive attitude and does so well with the infants. Ms. Elisa works so hard and really cares about her students and helping them grow. Ms. Marie has such love for the infants and you can tell they love spending time with her. We have loved our experience so far at Westwood Knowledge Beginnings!”

“We’ve had our daughter enrolled at The Academy Childcare Center for the past 11 months, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. After coming from a regional chain where the quality steadily declined over the years, this family-owned place has been a breath of fresh air.

The teachers are attentive and genuinely invested in my daughter’s growth and happiness. The administration is equally fantastic—organized, communicative, and always approachable. It’s clear that everyone here truly cares about creating a safe and enriching environment.

Our daughter absolutely loves going each day, and we’ve seen her thrive socially, emotionally, and developmentally. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to make the switch. If you’re looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of your family, this is the place!”

“Wonderful experience for our 2 children. Our son went age 2 through preK, and our daughter started at 4 months old. Very supportive leadership, clear communication, love that food is provided.”
