What THE Clients Say
“Absolutely Stellar Childcare Experience at Little Sprouts Daycare!
I cannot recommend Sonu's Little Sprouts Daycare highly enough! From the moment my child started attending, I was blown away by Sonu's meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for each child.
The meals and snacks provided are not only incredibly healthy and nutritious but also absolutely delicious (per my child). My child has never eaten so well by himself! Sonu's personal touch is evident in everything she does, from ensuring each child feels loved and valued to celebrating all their milestones, both big and small. Also she has themed arts and crafts for each Indian and American holidays such as Holi, Diwali, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas etc and pays special attention to learning and writing.
Her daily reports at pickup are a fantastic way to stay connected with my child's day. Sonu's approach to potty training is nothing short of amazing. She was patient, understanding, and incredibly effective. My child was potty trained in no time!
What truly sets Sonu apart is her deep understanding of child psychology. She creates a nurturing, stimulating environment where children thrive and also knows how to effectively discipline them . I only wish I had found her daycare sooner!
If you're looking for exceptional childcare in a loving, safe, and enriching setting, look no further than Sonu's Daycare.”
-- Kripa Rao (Former Little Sprouts Parent)
“My daughter has been going to Little Sprouts for over 2 years now and it has been the best experience for her. As first time nervous and anxious parents, we went with a recommendation to send our daughter here and could not have been happier with our decision.
Sonu provides the best nutrition packed meals which my daughter absolutely loves. She provides a structure and routine which helps the kids thrive. I have seen my daughters progress in eating habits, nap time, potty training, learning, reading, writing. Sonu goes an extra mile in celebrating kids birthdays maken them feel extra special and also all the festivals!
Overall, my kid feels comfortable and happy with Sonu and her smiles and daycare stories at the end of the day say it all!
Highly highly recommend!”
-- Dhara Somaiya (Former Little Sprouts Parent)
“My older child grew up during the pandemic with 100% of my time and attention on him. I was very skeptical about sending my younger one to a daycare. I wasn't sure I would find someplace that would give her as much love and attention as I would. Now, I can not even express the magnitude of my relief that we found little sprouts.
My child has been with little sprouts for a year now and Ms. Sonu takes care of the kids as if they were her own children. Every child there is given so much love and attention that they all thrive. My 2 year old absolutely loves going to "school" in the morning, and we can drop her without a single worry in our head. I can rest assured that she will have her tummy filled with healthy food, she will get ample rest, and that she will play to her heart's content, with someone making sure she learns about discipline and boundaries in a loving way.
Since she started going to little sprouts, her speech has blossomed, her interest in books and reading has grown, her table manners and eating habits have improved, and her social skills have grown by leaps and bounds. I'm often shocked by the fact that my 2 year old seems to know all the colors, shapes, the alphabet, several rhymes, and correct usage of prepositions and pronouns already! Most of all, I love how she comes home happy and full of energy.
It truly takes a village to raise a child and I'm very happy that little sprouts is the village my child is growing up with. I wholeheartedly recommend little sprouts for your child as well.”
-- Suvarsha Rao (Current Little Sprout Parent)
“My child has been attending this home-based daycare for nearly two years, and I couldn't be happier. Despite being a home setting, Sonu ensures that the kids are engaged in various activities, worksheets, and teaching sessions. My son is already excelling in his preschool curriculum, all thanks to her efforts.
Sonu also celebrates every festival, which helps the children learn about diversity. The yearly family picnic is a highlight, showcasing the incredible effort she puts into each event.
Additionally, the home-cooked meals provided to the kids are a wonderful bonus.”
