“Little Sam is such a blessing for the neighborhood, but earnestly for all of Jackson. Their programing and curriculum is second-to-none, in my opinion. Our son is such a wonderful little person because of the way each of his teachers takes care to allow him to develop. If you're on the fence about Montessori education, you should talk with the staff. My only wish is that there were more space for more kids to benefit from this beautiful little environment.
The ability for children to think, grown, and learn independently through carefully curated choices and boundaries aligns with how children naturally learn by movement, exploration, and choice during sensitive development stages. Unlike more rigid, adult-centric approaches, Montessori curriculum fosters independence, intrinsic motivation, and cognitive growth by respecting each kiddos pace. This is more holistically appropriate for their social-emotional development, and their academic growth. And we've seen nothing short of that in our son.
More simply put, Little Sam offers kids the blessing of growing at their own pace through curated activities that are developmentally appropriate for them, and the feedback from the teachers is invaluable and supportive of that development. We're currently in the throws of toddler tantrums, and a quick message to the school provided us with several resources, all of which have proven practically successful in helping us navigate those challenges.
I can't recommend Little Sam enough, for everyone. Jackson needs Little Sam. And all of us adults could use a little more of what Little Sam teaches: mindfulness, taking things slowly and deliberately, apart from distractions, disorder, and screens.”
“I’ve tried another daycare in BYRAM, and it didn’t work out. This daycare however is amazing! The staff is absolutely the best. The care and love my child received while there reflected in him when I picked him up! They have cameras you can see what’s going on. They are teaching these babies, and also very graceful while doing so. There isn’t a bunch of new teachers being brought in and out. If you’re trying you’re best to figure out what daycare toChoose. Look no further!”
“my daughters been going here for a little over a month and it’s great, the staff is super nice and friendly, we get daily reviews on how her day was, i’m always seeing them cleaning every time at pickup, they have small classes and seem to have a very good system”
