Real reviews from real families who trust us with their children every day

★★★★★

“We chose Little Red Caboose because of how peaceful and warm the baby room felt when we toured the school. The ladies in the baby room are so caring, warm, and experienced and really put us at ease as first time parents. Every morning our kiddo is so excited to see Ms. Linda and Ms. Amber.”

First-Time Parent

“My son has been at LRC since he was a toddler. He is thriving in elementary school about to go to middle school next year. I couldn’t have done it alone so many thanks to all the amazing teachers. Never FORGET you are the pieces that made the Difference.”

— Linda H.

10+ Year LRC Family

★★★★★

“LRC has answered so many of my prayers. As a first time mom, they supported me through the adjustment of going back to work. Rather than a revolving door of staff, I am greeted by the same wonderful women everyday. My daughter leans out of my arms to be held by her teacher Ms. Amber.”

You won’t see an insect graduating from college anytime soon, but insects can learn. Insects use memories to change their behaviors. Honeybees memorize flight routes and communicate with dance routines! Join us on a fun adventure to learn about how insects communicate and learn in their tiny world.

Importance of High Quality Preschool for Life Readiness

“The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed.” – Maria Montessori
