My grandaughter has loved being part of this pre-school. She began going here at 1 1/2 and is now moving into kindergarten. The staff is highly trained, works with parents for potty training, socializing and helping each child learn to be the best they can. The pre-school teacher and curriculum have exceeded all the expectations we had. This little girl is ready for Kindergarten learning and socializing. We can't thank you all enough for taking care of the most precious person in our life.
Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear your expectations were exceeded. We look forward to seeing her excel in kindergarten and beyond!

I have been coming to Little Orchard for both my kids and haven’t had any problems. They are different from many other child care centers. I would recommend to families for sure! My kids always have fun and learn something every time. Thank you Little Orchard keep striving and don’t let any negativity hit the Center!
Response from the owner:Thank you Karina! Our staff and teachers really love the kids in their care, and it shows. I’m so glad you are feeling that as well! We absolutely love helping these kiddos learn, grow, and explore. Thanks for bringing the positivity!
So I had a daycare in mind that my daughter goes to I also wanted my 4 month old to go to but they don’t accept my son bc they start at12 months. I looked everywhere read the reviews first bc I had a bad experience with a daycare my daughter went to in 2019-2020. Little orchard sounded the best and had plenty of positive reviews, I went in and spoke to Shanequaw who was very helpful to get my son enrolled and made it fast & simple. The center is always very clean, when you walk in the woman at the front desk idk her name sorry I’m bad with names but she has beautiful pink hair she is always so positive and says good morning and hello to my baby everytime we walk in and she’s there. I love that. My son is in Miss Ashley’s room she is an amazing woman with a big heart and I love how she treats the babies in her class. She’s such a sweet lady and I know my son is safe with her at little orchard bc he gets so happy to see her every morning. She def goes above and beyond for my son and I’m so thankful to have her look after my son bc it was hard having to put him in daycare we had to bc we don’t have family here in Utah but I know he is well taken care of and loved here. The only con I would say is I wish the class had a little more carpet as the babies are just learning to stand and can fall around this stage as their legs are wobbly or like my son is like yeah I can stand and thinks he can run at 8 months and let’s go and forgets he can’t walk yet lol. Every one at the center is so kind and amazing. I love it here and it eases my mind that I know he’s in good hands while I’m at work. Thank you ladies for all you do for our babies. I love the app Procare as well and the pics I get of my son on the app. I was also amazed at how much they did with the babies under a year. I get unique artwork with his hands and feet on holidays which is something I never had happen at other centers and I treasure them. Another thing I love is I never have walked in and seen any of the teachers on their phones or talking and not paying attention to the kids like I’ve seen at other centers. They give their full attention to your babies this is where you want your babies to go if your looking for amazing childcare.
Response from the owner:Thank so so much for the very kind words! You have made our day! It means so much to us when we get to hear the positivity that we help bring into each of the families lives here at Little Orchard. We work so hard to be the best we can, thank you for recognizing that!

I think the front desk person could try being more friendly, but other than that my son loves his teacher and his class, my other baby girl she's 1 she don't ever cry while being dropped of or anything. My 3 year old does have a hard time but the teachers have all been wonderful in helping out and understanding which I truly appreciate but overall a really good day care and preschool.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your comments. Helpful feedback like this helps us grow. We really appreciate you being with the Little Orchard Family.
I love this center, I always feel that my child is safe and loved when they are there. The center is always clean and the Procare app they use is a great communication tool.

My son loved this daycare. Unfortunately for work and moving to a different city I had to switch daycares. They are so professional, and friendly. Didn't matter what time I came in they were doing activities with the kids and interacting with them. My son was in the twos room and everyone from all the classes knew him by name within the first week. They are a little family. If your nervous about daycare I promise you they will put you at ease. They may be a little higher priced then some other ones but for the service they provide they are so worth it. You get what you pay for. And they update you all day through a app and send you pictures when they do activities or just are playing.
Response from the owner:Thank you for all the kind words! We really do try everyday to make each day special. You and your family will be missed.

We have been consistently impressed with the quality of care and education for our daughter. The staff are kind, caring, and professional. They do an amazing job of keeping kids and staff safe during the Covid pandemic. Our daughter is excited to go each day and actually asks to stay longer at the end of the day.
My kids have been going to this Daycare/Pre school center for over 4 years and it's definitely the best I've found. The teachers and owners are great and my kids love it! It's a great feeling being able to trust people with your children.
