Testimonials

"Our son, Gavin, stayed full days at Lisa's "Little Sneakers" day care from the time he was 3 months old until he started pre-K, then part-time until he entered full-day Montessori. We love Lisa's interaction with all the kids and the attention she gives to educational and fun activities. She does all the things I would have done with Gavin had I been able to not work and be home with him every day.

The other great advance Lisa helped Gavin with was toilet training. He had an easy and quick transition from diapers to pull-ups to pants. No fears, no tears, no muss, no fuss! I am forever grateful for that. I never even had to think about it. I just got tips from Lisa regarding what I should be doing at home to complement her efforts during the weekdays. A Mom's dream!

Lisa is an open and cooperative person, easy to communicate with and very reliable. You cannot do better for day care for your kid(s) than entrusting them to Lisa. We keep up with Lisa to this day and consider her a friend for life."

I highly recommend Little Sneakers Daycare! My daughter attended from age 2 to 5 and loved it! There are many reasons why I loved Little Sneakers, including:  safe; organized; clean; daily routine; outside time everday with access to 2 parks; learning (she was prepared for kindergarten); healthy eating; art projects; small, which made the entire experience more personable; and last but not least my daughter had fun!      Katie B

 I highly recommend Little Sneakers! Miss Lisa is very experienced, creative, and flexible. Both of our kids have thrived there and have been in good hands. Miss Lisa keeps the place sparkly clean and magical. Some highlights of activities were when the kids grew monarch butterflies from eggs and then released the butterflies at the park, Easter egg hunts, and making a hungry caterpillar book of their own with props. Both of my kids have loved it there these past few years. My daughter transitioned well to kindergarten because of her time there. The daycare has great Covid-19 protocols and kids wash their hands regularly.

"My son attended Little Sneakers daycare from ages six months to three years. After having experienced a questionable home daycare environment with him, it was a complete relief to find Lisa. She genuinely enjoys all of the children while engaging them in age-appropriate crafts and activities and disciplining them appropriately. Lisa really goes out of her way to think up new and creative activities that all of the children can enjoy together at their own skill level. The children receive nutritious, varied meals and snacks and sometimes they even help prepare. I feel my son received exceptional care at all times and that his language and social abilities are advanced for his age due to the attention and encouragement that he received from Lisa."

Our daughter, Natalie attended Little Sneakers for 3 years- from age 2 until 5, and we could not have been happier with the arrangement. Most importantly, Lisa is an enthusiastic and caring person who is doing a job she clearly loves. Her ability to lead the children through a thoughtfully planned day seems effortless for her. The kids respond to her, and to each other as well. The kids get along beautifully, and this is in no small part due to the calm and cooperative environment Lisa creates.

The Little Sneakers facility is run out of Lisa’s home, and she has dedicated a large portion of her lovely home to the kids. The house and toys, cups, tables…everything is always clean and tidy. The kids love playing downstairs, and in the sunroom as well. The house is in a great little neighborhood, and is located right across from a great little tot lot. The kids get plenty of outside time- and again, Lisa gets the kids to and from the park safely and effortlessly.

Natalie is well prepared for Kindergarten as a result of her time at Little Sneakers. The activities and curriculum were tailored by Lisa specifically for Natalie's interests. The amount of individual care has been irreplaceable.

One of my favorite things, is that the kids have created so many wonderful crafts for Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays and other occasions. The designs are very thoughtful.

We have gotten to know the other kids and parents, and it has been a wonderful experience. Lisa and the Little Sneakers are an extension of our family, and will continue as Natalie grows up.

"After having my daughter with Lisa for 4 years I couldn’t think of having anybody else take care of my 3 month old son…Lisa is caring, competent, and flexible and my kids learned so much during day care! She made my life much easier by having the kids follow rules and routines, like potty training and cleaning up their toys, which I could continue at home. Both my kids were very happy to go to day care every day and still miss her after years of school. I would recommend “Little Sneakers Day Care” to anyone who wants to go to work every day without worrying about their children, knowing that they are in best possible care! "

Teary eyed. Miss Lisa and Travis Barker, you have been amazing teachers and Addie has been so lucky to have you in her life. The Reeve clan has been blessed by your graciousness, and generous heart. We will all miss you so much, and cannot thank you enough for being such a great teacher and role model for our little Addie. Kindergarten is our next chapter, and she is ready thanks to you!

 We have been with Little Sneakers for almost 7 years and both our kids have grown up under Lisa's care. Even though this is an in-home daycare, she has a very well-structured schedule and curriculum. When my oldest went to kindergarten she was easily 2 years ahead of her cohort in reading & math. It wasn't until the tail-end of 1st grade that I started seeing materials that she didn't already learn while at Little Sneakers. Lisa is extremely attentive to each child and she is very skilled at reading and understanding kids & their individual needs and uniqueness. Although her daycare is routine driven, she still allows space for each child to be cared for the way they need it the most. Her facility is top-notch! It is bright and beautiful, clean and organized, and she has a couple different play rooms for the kids. All areas are super clean and well kept. My kids LOVE her cooking & she always feeds healthy and fun meals. She often lets the kids be involved in the food preparation, such as making their own pizzas, measure and mixing for baking, etc. I feel very fortunate to be able to send my kids here and I just don't have enough good things to say!
