Little Learners Daycare and OSC Parkallen

We recently joined Little Learners with our two little boys (3 and 1) and it was the best decision we could have made. Not only are the teachers SO kind and wonderful, but our older son is also learning social skills and respectful problem solving. The language he has been using to talk about other students and himself clearly shows that the teachers have experience teaching young children how to navigate their feelings, and he feels safe to express himself and knows he will be supported in a kind and loving way. And there is tons of outside time and play!! We love Little Learners and would absolutely recommend it!!

Our daughter has been attending this daycare part-time since she was 10 months old, and we sadly have to leave as we are moving out of the city. We have had a great experience with great staff here. The daycare (especially the owner, Carolyn) has been so accommodating with changes in schedules and overall are remarkably flexible. There has been some turnover in staff, which has been a bit of a struggle intermittently, but they have done everything they can to make our daughter comfortable with the changes.

We love that they have an in-house chef dedicated to making great meals for the kids (including breakfast, lunch, and snacks). When we were looking for daycares, our biggest concern was that our daughter would be lost in a sea of dozens of kids or not get any outdoor time. Our fears were alleviated by her attending this small, intimate daycare where everyone knows her name and they also spend lots of time outdoors and doing crafts. They have a play area in the backyard as well as are located across the street from a huge playground and splash park.

The location being a few blocks from our house has also made things very easy. We're very sad to say goodbye!

My son has been attending Little Learners for almost a year now. The OSC program is great as they are continuously learning and have a mix of free play. There are days that they spend at the park/spray park which is great for my 6-year-old. The center is disorganized at times, but my family feels that since the teachers spend most their time with the kids it is a minor issue. My son has a great time and loves going which is the most important thing. Highly recommend!! They provide all meals and snacks which is great for busy parents. The center is convenient for kids that attend Park Allen school.

Our son has been at little learners for a few months now and really likes it. He always comes home happy and is excited to go in the morning. They do a nice mix of free play, outside time, and arts/crafts that he enjoys, and the teachers are very good. A great little community daycare!

Our daughter has been attending Little Learners Daycare for just over two years and we have had a wonderful experience. The staff has been welcoming right from the start and have provided a fun and engaging atmosphere for the kids. Any issues that have come up have been addressed head on and in our experience, the owner has been transparent in communication with parents. I would fully recommend this daycare to any parents looking for a great community daycare.
