Both of my kids have gone to Little Fox. My older one started as a baby and my youngest is now in the Disney Room. We've had such a great experience here.The teachers are really loving and patient, especially in the infant room. My baby is in the classroom all the way in the back, and I actually love walking through the building every morning. It's so sweet to see what the older kids are working on and how each teacher interacts with their class, it always makes me smile.They also use an app called Procare, which has been super helpful. It tracks when I check my baby in and out and I get updates throughout the day with pictures (I always download them!), nap times, feedings, diaper changes, even bowel movements. It makes me feel at ease knowing exactly what's going on.Another thing that's been amazing is how much they've helped with sleep. Before starting at Little Fox, my baby was still sleeping in my bed and it took months to even try the crib. Now he's totally comfortable in his crib. I know it's because the teachers are so gentle. they hold the babies until they're calm or asleep.Overall, I've always felt like my kids were in good hands here. The school feels warm, the staff is kind, and I've had nothing but positive experiences.
