For the past four years, Little Pals has been so much more than a school to us; it's felt like family. That's how we've always been treated, and it's how we'll always think of the incredible group of people here. The care and attention both of our children have received has been nothing short of exemplary. They've truly thrived at Little Pals, and we can already see how the foundation this school provided has played a big role in their success beyond preschool.
It's a big thing to send your firstborn off to school. Harder still when that happens at the tail end of a pandemic like it did for us. Is this the right school academically? Will my child adapt socially? Will they thrive? Little Pals checked all the boxes and then some. They made our children feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, while also setting high academic standards. And they did an outstanding job with us parents too! Calming our nerves (especially this parent), and making everything feel right immediately. We've never doubted our choice for an instant.
Our children leave Little Pals with a solid academic foundation: recognizing and writing letters and numbers, early sight words, counting to 100, and reading beginner books with confidence. Their handwriting improved tremendously; they developed strong problem solving skills and a genuine love of learning. They still talk about songs, lessons, and moments from class. It's incredible to see how far ahead they've been - both academically and socially - compared to where I remember being at that age.
Communication is excellent. In addition to parent/teacher conferences and detailed reports, the teachers were always available to chat. I never felt rushed, and I can be quite talkative! There are field trips, an open house, holiday concerts, and family night, all of which made us feel connected to the school and involved in our children's early education. There are always activities and plenty of pictures. Our kids made friends - and we made friends too!
We've experienced just about every aspect of Little Pals, from the toddler room to aftercare for our first grader. Our kids attended summer camp here, and even brought their cousins along! That's how much we trust and value this place.
I truly cannot say enough good things about this school. Little Pals has given our children not only a loving and nurturing environment, but a true head start in life—academically, emotionally, and socially.
Thank you Little Pals, for everything!

I use Littlepals for before and after school care when I have to get to work for even just a little bit before the buss comes. They are so great with my children and make it an easy on our family through the hectic days. My children also went to there summer camp which is an environment just like home with music and water slides. Again so easy to leave my children with the wonderful staff at Littlepals

The staff at Little Pals is great. Angela the owner is amazing and she is on top of things. She is there for you to talk to and treats your kids like theyre her own. Maryanne in the front is awesome! She is always there and will help you with any question or comcern you have. I trust her and the staff. Ive never had any issues that werent resolved. My kids have been there from infants all the way up to toddlers graduating preschool. My girls have so much fun there. I recommended my family and friends to go there.They have great hours, reasonsble prices, they offer after care and they have camp in the summer. Its not just a transaction at Little Pals, youre family.

Little pals preschool is the 2nd preschool/day care my daughter has been to and it is amazing! We could feel the difference immediately. The staff are caring and truly take the time to know each child. I love how organized they are and how informed they keep us parents. What a blessing to know that my daughter is being taught and cared for by teachers, office staff and a director/principal who all feel more like extended family rather than paid officials. We love this school!

My daughter has been attending Little Pals Preschool for about 2 years now and I have all great experiences. Her teachers have been so wonderful! They are knowledgeable, patient and treat everyone with respect. I noticed that they actually take the time to KNOW each child individually and which in turn helps the child grow within the group. My daughter never complains about going to school and always has so much to say when she leaves! Now that she is 4, her teacher has her working on science experiments and she loves everyone!!!! I don’t remember EVER doing any experiments at that age in school!And it doesn’t end there, the entire staff is dedicated to caring for all children! I’ve never walked by a room and the staff is sitting while the children play. Not even in the infant rooms. They are extremely interactive with them. The school’s classrooms are neat and well equipped with everything your child needs. The playground is full of fun and safe toys.Angela is an angel. She listen and genuinely cares about any issues that is occurring at the home because, let’s face it, it can affect “her kids”. And she does everything in her powers to help.Little Pals is family!!! I plan to continue sending my baby to them for after school care as well.

As most parents, we did a lot of research and site visits to preschools when selecting one for our son. Little Pals was everything we were looking for, and then some. Working for OCFS myself, I had the inside scoop on which ones were good and bad, and word of mouth from other moms, made this an obvious choice. Additionally, our son has an expressive speech delay and the love care and dedication by the Nardo family has most definitely helped our son achieve speech milestones and has helped him grow tremendously. He comes home from the summer camp smelly, dirty, exhausted and happy and looking forward to the next day... he comes home from school with a smile and always has a fun story to tell us at dinner time. We love the field trips, the Facebook photos and videos and teachers updates to keep us informed. We love the notes and projects sent home everyday, and the way he bounces out the door excited to go to school. We love the smaller class this year so he can work on his expressive speech a little further with individual attention, extra speech services from Angela, a licensed speech language pathologist, and are looking forward to the rest of the school year!

Unbelievable Preschool who truly cares! Our son started preschool here and he obviously took some time adjusting in the beginning but now has SO much fun he doesn't even say bye to us when we drop him off. He loves his teachers, the kids in his class and everything in the classroom. There is such a great learning element provided even at his young age of 2 1/2 and he is able to remember songs and books they've read. After attending an open house I was also very pleasantly surprised to learn their safety procedures and the lengths they go to take care of the children. I feel 100% comfortable leaving our son there and that is a HUGE relief to me every day. Thank you, Little Pals!!

We've been a part of the Little Pals family for the past 5 years. We've experienced the infant, toddler, pre-school, and summer camp programs at Little Pals- we wouldn't want our children any place else. It's safe, clean and organized. The staff is loving, patient, and have provided and still provide our children with an exciting and fun educational experience. Their large outdoor space is safe, shaded, and really nice-if it is nice out, the kids are outside which is awesome! They also offer after school yoga programs which is great for the kids mindfulness, balance, and relaxation. Little Pals is a wonderful place!

Little Pals Preschool (Monroe NY) is by far, one of the most stellar environments for little ones. The teachers/caretakers treat each child as their own. They provide not only an exceptional early education program, but also a safe & loving home away from home for families that utilize the infant room/daycare.
