Common themes from verified parent reviews
15+ year average teacher tenure. “Rather than a revolving door, the same wonderful women greet us everyday.”
First-time parents say staff made “transition from home to daycare seamless” with “unparalleled kindness.”
Even staff members trust LRC with their own children: “I wouldn’t just leave my kids anywhere.”
Summer water play and seasonal activities supervised by trained staff in our securely gated pool.
Children who started as toddlers are “thriving in elementary school” heading to middle school.
Families enroll multiple children from newborn through Pre-K graduation.
LRC has been a wonderful daycare! Shoutout to the ladies in the Infant Room: Ms. Stephanie, Linda, Amber, Olivia, Dez, and many others! You take such great care of our little girl!
My two children have been attending Little Red Caboose since they were each 6 months old (now 4 and 2). The staff and teachers have cared for them through milestones, pushed them to learn and grow, taught them to care for their classmates and community, and loved them as their own. As parents, we couldn’t ask for more and would recommend this location to any friends or family.
A special call out to those that have cared for our little ones: Ms Linda, Ragine, Amber, and Des in the infant room who gave me peace of mind as a new mom returning to work, and Ms Shirlene, Brenda, and Michele in the year 1 room who helped our little ones learn to walk, table manners, and their first words, and Ms Ashley, Juanita, Shelby, and Isana who empower the 2 year olds to be independent, and Ms Lindsay, Nayelli, Sabrina, and Paula who reinforce kindness, patience, and fun with the 3 year olds.
You are all super heroes in our house and our kiddos love you. ❤️
We have had such a wonderful experience at this Montessori school, and I am incredibly grateful for the care, love, and dedication shown to both of my children. Miss Alexis and Miss Shelby, my two-year-old’s current teachers, have been amazing at creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.
I also want to recognize Miss Juanita and Miss Isana, who helped build the strong foundation that allowed my two-year-old to transition so smoothly. Miss Michelle and Miss Amber were there during those very early, emotional drop-off days when my child was first enrolled.
A heartfelt thank-you to Miss Ragine and Miss Stefani, whose leadership and dedication truly stand out. Seeing how emotional they were during my five-year-old’s daycare graduation showed just how deeply they love and care for the children as if they were their own.
This school truly feels like a village, and we are so grateful for every teacher and staff member who pours into these children every single day. 💙
Both my daughter and now my son have attended LRC and the teachers and staff do such a wonderful job taking care of, nurturing, and teaching the children. Thank you to Ms. Ashley, Isana, Juanita, Shelby, Alexis, Nellie, Lily, Paula, Lindsay, Ragine and Stefani for taking care of our kids. ❤️
Both of my kids have attended the Little Red Caboose and it is a great daycare/pre-school facility. Thank you to Ms. Ashley, Yesana, Juanita, Shelby, Alexis, Nellie, Lily, Paula, Lindsay, Ragine and Stephanie for taking care of our kids!
We’ve recently begun enrollment with our daughter at Little Red Caboose and have been impressed with the level of care and support from the staff in the infant room. Ms. Amber, Ms. Olivia, Ms. Des, and Ms. Linda have all been wonderful. We look forward to continuing her early childhood development alongside such amazing staff.
Both of my kids have gone to this daycare! My son, who is 9 now and my daughter who is about to turn 2. We love this school. The Director Stefani loves the kids and cares more about the day to day than most higher up leadership. Miss Ashley in the toddler room 2 is one of the best teachers I have ever known when it comes to the little ones. We love Little Red Caboose!
Little Red Caboose has been amazing to my son. He has literally learned to stand, walk, sit at the table and talk because of the amazing staff. He started with Ms Linda, Ms Amber and Ms Des who taught him to be confident from 6-12 months.
They are the reason he transitioned to the toddler room at 12 months. Now my son is working 1:1 with Ms Michele and Ms Shirlene and he is thriving into an amazing little person.
We couldn’t be more thankful for the love and care our daughter has received here. In the nursery, Ms. Linda, Ms. Amber, and Ms. Des treated her like family and helped her hit every little milestone with so much encouragement.
Now in the one-year-old rooms, she is thriving with Ms. Shirlene, Ms. Brenda, Ms. Michele, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Cherish, and Ms. Sarah. The teachers here truly know and love the kids, the communication is great.
We want to express our appreciation for everyone who has been part of our son’s journey here. Each classroom has supported his growth.
From Newborn to Older 2s: Ms. Linda, Ms. Regine, Ms. Paula, Ms. Amber, Ms. Brenda, Ms. Shirlene, Ms. Michele, Ms. Liz, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Des, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Isana, Ms. Juanita, Ms. Shelby, and Ms. Alexis
Little Red Caboose has been a wonderful place for our son. Every teacher has been absolutely amazing and our son loves them all!
Our son has been attending LRC since just before his second birthday. All of the staff, from his teachers to administration, made the transition from home to daycare as seamless as possible. He was treated with patience and care through his adjustment.
We were given regular updates throughout the day. The kindness and love that they approach transition is unparalleled, and takes a huge amount of weight off the parents.
LRC has answered so many of my prayers.
As a first time mom, they supported me through the adjustment of going back to work. Their baby room and Ms. Stefani have done wonders for my daughter. 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, she always greets us with a beautiful smile.
My husband and I chose Little Red Caboose because of how peaceful and warm the baby room felt when we toured the school. Once our baby started attending we were so pleased with how accurate our initial impression was.
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 when we drop him off.
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 the ladies at LRC (Ms. Stefani, Ms Ragine, Ms. Shirlene, Ms Brenda, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Alex, Ms. Juanita, Ms. Shelby, Ms. Isana, Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Paula, Ms. Amber, Ms. Des, Ms. Olivia, and Ms. Summer).
Never FORGET you are the pieces that made the Difference. THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DID THE PERSON YOU ARE AND THE DIFFERENCE YOU MADE! ❤️
My two daughters have been at Little Red Caboose since they were newborns. My oldest is about to graduate from their pre-K program. All the teachers are awesome. The management is wonderful. There are plenty of activities for the kids (including a swimming pool).
There are too many teachers to thank. The most recent ones are: Ms. Nelly, Lindsay, Lilly, Wanita, Paula, Sarina, Sabrina and Ashely. Also a big thanks to the management.
Might be a little biased by saying it’s a great school since I work there, but I’m still a parent who wouldn’t just leave her kids anywhere. I can truly say that each teacher all 20 of them and some that have left have helped shape and mold my children.
I love that they think it’s home away from home and it takes a village. I wouldn’t trade this place for another. So much love in that building and kids making great memories!
