“I recommend Little Owl to absolutely everyone that asks about childcare. My Daughter has been attending Little Owl for the last four and a half years, and she is always excited to go back the next day. In the time she has been there, I can't recall a single issue that we've had with the centre.
One of the highlights is the daily report and pictures that are sent out on their activities, as it shows you what they did during the day. My daughter loves to look at it after school and explain to me everything they did - we also hear how great the lunch and snacks are all the time! My daughter has also made a lot of good friends there, and not just with the children, but a lot of the staff as well. Since she has been there so long, she has been through all the rooms in the centre and all the teachers she has had were fantastic. The staff at Little Owl have done an exceptional job at providing an environment that helps her grow as a little girl, and also giving her an environment to learn and be creative in. Send your kid here, you'll be glad you did.“

“Absolutely amazing facility! Jade & Justine are both wonderful women, they have put so much thought, effort and love into every aspect of Little Owl. The classrooms are beautifully decorated and clean, they are constantly changing their educational focus and the owners are extremely hands on with the children. Miss Ana was an absolute angel for out daughter, showing so much patience, compassion and love. We will never find another daycare like Little Owl and miss everyone there daily! 10/10 would recommend“

“Can’t recommend Little Owl enough. We have felt every staff member was top notch and truly cared about our child and getting to know even US. Learning and explorative activities are planned throughout the day, change weekly, and going outside in any weather is a priority. The outdoor space is incredible and has nature as the focus - it’s not full of cement and fake grass. Meal plan is better than any others I’ve seen, events happen throughout the year for families to attend, renovations are beautiful and thoughtful… It’s hard to think of something im not happy about! In the first little bit they moved my daughter a few times which surprised us and we weren’t sure how we felt, but once I seen her with her new class it became clear that they move children so they have a more enriching experience. Rooms are only loosely based on age and focus more on ability which is something I think speaks volumes about communication between staff who work with kids daily, management and owners. Happy little owl family!“

"My family is absolutely over the moon with the progress our youngest has made since moving to little owl. He’s a bit of a wild child but he fits in wonderfully no matter his uniqueness.
The amazing staff have made a huge impact on my son, even in the few months he’s been attending. My husband and I highly recommend Little Owl Learning Centre!“

“Switched my daughter to this centre a few months ago, and I could not be happier with their programs. I love that they are connected with the MH Public school division and that they offer extended services like language therapy sessions for my daughter who struggles with pronunciation! All of her teachers have been wonderful and understanding and I really appreciate that they have a coded security system to get in. They recently updated their in-house playground area and I think it is very secure. The teachers at Little Owls also work really hard to come up with new activities to get my daughter engaged everyday!“
- Chelsea Tawse

She has also made so many great friendships in her classroom, which has made her time here even more special. It’s such a warm and welcoming environment, and we are truly thankful for the care and service everyone at Little Owl provides.“

“We first joined the Little Owl Family back in 2019 when our boys were little and we were sad when our boys aged out and went to big kids school. But we are back now with with our littlest addition, and we had no hesitation with coming back. Jade and Justine are absolutely amazing at what they do and their vision for the centre is brilliant. All the staff we have come in contact with over the years has been super friendly and truly sets them apart. The new renovations that have be done are thoughtful and truly inspire.“
- Jenelle Lesmeister
“My youngest child has just finished her time at Little Owl Learning Centre and is heading to Kindergarten in the fall. We have been beyond happy and impressed with the love, care, and educational experiences Little Owl provided. I personally felt the center’s focus on parent communication went above and beyond. We received weekly messages and pictures on what was going on in the classroom, as well as monthly newsletters, and emails for upcoming field trips and events. Both of my daughters will now have wonderful memories of the staff, students, and enriching activities.“
- Lindsay Steiner
“My son has only been attending for 3 weeks now and I can tell how much he loves it here !
The staff listen to what you say and they are super sweet!“

“This is the only daycare I recommend to my family and friends. My daughter attended Little Owl from toddler to preschool age, and she absolutely loved it. The teachers were fantastic, and the programs are wonderful. My daughter had a speech delay, and they not only provided helpful recommendations but also gave her all the support she needed to improve her speech.“
- Patience Maha
“Such a wonderful safe environment for children! As guardians we were so pleased with the care our child received. She enjoyed the opportunity to meet Mrs. Jen and Mr. Ethan every single day. She was a full time student in the kindergarten program and has excelled tremendously as a result of their care.
Learning opportunities and crafts along with the freedom to explore new things made this the perfect environment. She was excited with every visit. This could only happen with amazing leadership, role models and love. Five stars plus many more! My husband and I both highly recommend Little Owls Learning Centre.“
-Pamela Whitfield
“My 6 year old joined Little Owls this summer for their KinderCamp program. All I can say is WOW! He was apart of the lunch program. He’s a picky eater but they consistently made delicious and healthy food. He even managed to branch out and try things he’s never tried. He also had so much fun here, playing and having so much fun. Little Owls keeps you updated with messages and fun pictures. He can’t wait to come back next summer! Thanks Little Owls for being a safe and fun place for my little boy ♥️“
-Wynter Kopek
“This is the first year that our son has attended a summer/kinder camp and he has absolutely loved it! He has grown so much in the short period of time that he's been there. His confidence and self esteem has improved and he's made alot of new friends. The team is wonderful at communication and has called me when incidents have happened instead of just receiving a notification first. That is something I truly appreciate. He asks every day if he's going to kindercamp and always comes home with such a smile on his face. I'm very thankful that he's found a positive place for the summer.“
-Brittney Silva
“Little Owl receives my top recommendation. The staff are all very well versed in reggio learning and positive child development. They take time to understand each child’s strengths and areas for improvements and continually adapt their classroom to suit every child’s social, emotional, and physical needs. Their staff take a proactive and positive approach to each child and any parent concerns are address professionally and promptly.”
- Melanie Viv
“Little Owl Learning Center is a fabulous environment for all children and families, we cannot recommend Little Owl’s enough! All of the Teachers, faculty members, Managers and also the very special Education Assistants that work at Little Owls.
We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to Ms. Carmen for the remarkable impact you have had on our nephew and niece’s life. Your dedication, patience, and genuine care for the children in the classrooms have not only been noticed, but truly admired and appreciated by our entire family.”
- Donni A.
“We were lucky enough to have our child cared for over the past few years in Little Owls 🦉. Everyone(and I mean Everyone) from the Owners and the coordinators, to the teachers, and assistants as well as the contractors and helpers were 100% professional respectful and caring. Justine, Jade, Tia, Ashley, Carmen, Jenn, and Ethan promote an all inclusive, creative and caring family oriented organization. The approach and implementation of the kinderlearn program is a unique experience that not only taught many soft and hard skills to our child, but the program also built bonds between the kids and some of the teachers that remain strong after graduation. The ideology of Little Owls makes it a really special place that not only helps kids grow and develop in a safe and creative space, but it also provides an inclusive and forgiving atmosphere for first time parents when taking the big step of day care.
Thank you all for your devotion and kindness. Our family will miss you all!”
- Ivan Barbero
“Our family loves Little Owl!! Justine and her staff are amazing. All of the teachers are so caring and compassionate. Everyday my little one is so excited to tell me all about his day and how much he loves his teacher. He also raves about all the delicious homemade meals Miss Clara makes. We’ve been going to Little Owl since they opened and would highly recommend them”

- Amy G
We have had such a great experience so far at Little Owl. Our daughter can be shy and slow to warm up, but from the very beginning her teachers, Miss Sandy and Miss Katrina, have gone above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
It means so much to us as parents to know she is so well cared for and that she loves her teachers so much. We are so grateful for Miss Sandy, Miss Katrina, and the entire team at Little Owl for creating such a welcoming environment.
- Logan Faber
I have nothing but positive feedback for Little Owl. Whenever there has been any incident or concern, it is taken care of immediately, while keeping us informed. They are so good at listening to what the parents say and are incredibly good with dealing with the kids. We are thrilled to have our kid attending Little Owl. It is always very clean and we love getting reports everyday telling us what our kid did, any concerns, but also praise for good behavior. We love it! And the food. Amazing!
- Lisa Kessler
Wonderful centre! Compassionate and well trained staff work closely with families to ensure your child receives expert care and guidance through the early years. Ms. Mann incorporates emerging pedagogies in early childhood education with a kind and caring environment that is eager to respond to childrens' unique abilities. Would highly recommend!

My daughter has been attending school here for over two years now. I cannot think of a better place for her. She enjoys her teachers and her classmates. She looks forward to going to school everyday and learning new things!
- Erin Bice
Great place, great teachers! My daughter started going there almost a year ago and she started out shy and didn’t want to go to any daycare. She is now so happy to see her teachers every morning and so outgoing. They have a great new playground that has to be seen to be fully appreciated that the kids love!
