My family and I love this facility and all of the teachers in it. They truly care about every child enrolled and are all passionate about the early childhood profession. The facility is always clean and well kept. The teachers work well with each other, the parents, and children. We came here after a bad experience with another center and we instantly felt like family on day one. They treated my children as their own. Unfortunately we moved and logistically it didn’t make sense for us to keep our kids there. If it were at all possible, we would taken all of Twinkle Little Stars with us. We miss them so much!

This is the VERY Best daycare EVER the entire staff is nice and welcoming. From the moment I bought my granddaughter there we have been family. The staff… even the kids know me and her and it’s just really reassuring to know that the staff really care about the kids and their wellbeing. Getting pictures and videos daily is so awesome and to see that she always has a smile and the other kids always are happy let’s me know we totally found the right place for her. I would recommend this daycare a million times 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The owner and staff are very professional and friendly. My son loves this place and enjoys every bit of it. The learning experience is terrific. I can't be thankful enough for the great work they do in nurturing my 4 year old who has made remarkable progress since he started attending twinkle little star a year ago. I will highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great early learning environment for kids.

This daycare is getting 5 stars from me for several reasons: I am a first-time mom and my now two-year-old attends TLS. They made the transition so easy despite my child still having issues at drop off(separation anxiety) but within minutes he is fine because he likes his caretakers. In my search for a daycare- I wanted to not only ensure a peace of mind while I returned to work from my maternity leave, but I also wanted to ensure that I could trust the facility in keeping my child safe. My fiancé and I visited the facility back in 08/2023 and we both liked how the entrance was secured, the facility was clean, and each room had plenty of room for children to play. Our baby started attending on 8/28/23. The entrance is shared with a church, and they do a great job in ensuring only authorized people enter the building. (I can’t emphasize how many daycares I toured, and I was able to just walk in. There was a daycare I toured where I walked all the way into their common room and then asked name of child that I was picking up ☹ ) I also always make sure that the door fully closes to ensure the continued safety of all children. Another great thing is the App that is used to provide updates. I get updates on diaper changes, my child’s mood, temperature checks, and pictures/videos about my child’s day. I am also able to send messages to TLS if I have any concerns/questions regarding my child’s day/needs for that day and I get a prompt response. Finally, the staff really care for the development of my child. They are welcoming, sweet, and they all work together with the children. It Is extremely hard to find good, sincere, and caring workers that not only do their job well but ensure that they can give you a peace of mind while my child is in their care. I am so glad to have found a daycare that I like, trust, and there was no waiting list for my child to start at TLS.

Twinkle little stars has been amazing with my 16 month old. Atmosphere is very pleasant teachers really show interest in my child’s development. Communication is great. I’m thrilled to have my son enrolled there. Thanks twinkle little stars for your assistance with my child’s learning.
