Our infant and toddler attended Little Scholars for about a year and had a good experience. The teachers were very caring and always greeted them with a smile and a wave. We loved that it connected to a retirement home that allowed activities between the kids and senior citizens. Although she no longer attends, our oldest often talks about her friends and teachers at Little Scholars.

We had a great experience at Little Scholars! The teachers and the director were kind and cared about our child. They were also very communicative, which we appreciated, especially because it was the first time our baby had been away from us and in childcare. We felt comfortable sending our child here with the caregivers and the facility. We recommend Little Scholars to anyone needing childcare in the Lansing/DeWitt Area!

This is an excellent daycare center. I’ve had two kids in here for almost five years now. The staff regularly updates the kids’ activities and shares pictures on the secure portal. Security is top-notch, with keyed entry and staff at the doors ensuring safety. Dewitt Police stops by regularly to entertain the kids, which I’m a huge fan of. Pricing is excellent, and they are open early for those of us who can’t always wait until 8 a.m. to drop the kids off.

Little Scholars has been a fantastic place for my daughter since she started last year. The staff and director are all incredible. They communicate issues immediately, and I immensely trust this team and their important work. Even when kids get sick, as they’re bound to, the teachers are proactive and let families know. I appreciate Little Scholars and the entire staff for their dedication and the love they show to our children. I would highly recommend them!

My son has been at Little Scholars since he was three months old. He is now in kindergarten but will still attend Little Scholars during summer break. I have always trusted this center and feel confident that he is safe, loved, and cared for. If there have been issues or concerns, they were promptly addressed and taken care of. My son is very bright in his kindergarten classroom, and I attribute all that success to the foundation that Little Scholars laid.

Since we started here, I have felt entirely comfortable about every aspect of my daughter’s care. The staff is always friendly and courteous, providing quick updates, messaging, and pictures through the app, which is a great feature. Our daughter is always engaged and happy when we pick her up. I already have, and I would once again recommend Little Scholars.

Sending our child to Little Scholars was the best decision we could have made for their preschool/pre-k experience. The director and teachers at Little Scholars made the transition easy for all of us. Every teacher we’ve interacted with has been genuinely loving, warm-hearted, and passionate about teaching children. Thank you so much for all you do. Your hard work and dedication to children have not gone unnoticed, and we will miss you all!

My daughter is one of the Little Scholars “OGs” and attended from about six months old until she headed to kindergarten. My daughter’s time at LS was incredibly beneficial in developing her socializing, early education, and personality. As a girl Dad, I’m very protective of my kiddo, and I never once worried about the care she was receiving. I recommend LS to anyone who wants a loving and educational environment for their little one.

Little Scholars went above and beyond for my son while he was in the PreK room!! My son struggled in other bigger daycare centers, and the smaller class he was a part of was so wonderful at LS. All the teachers were so caring and made sure to help my son work through his struggles. We had support every step of the way. The teachers treated us like family. I highly recommend this center!

Our experience with Little Scholars has been amazing! Our son is in the infant classroom, and his teachers are some of the most caring individuals I’ve had the pleasure to meet. They put a lot of thought into the curriculum and always have educational and exciting activities for the kiddos. They also do a spectacular job of keeping parents updated throughout the day - some of my most cherished pictures and videos of my son.
