Little Feet Daycare

"Choosing a child care facility can be so anxiety provoking and overwhelming. Little Feet Daycare is exceptional and unlike anything else I've heard of. The nurturing, warm, joy filled environment is the perfect place for little people of all personalities and abilities to thrive. The teachers are unbelievably committed and attentive to each individual child. The home environment was especially appealing for the first "school" experience for our toddler son. A nice transition from being home. Laurie and her teachers are amazing. They are incredibly thoughtful about the play-based curriculum and tailoring it to each child's individual needs and development, as well as interests. Little Feet is a unique place, and esp. in Brookline. They have their own back yard to play in with tons of fun toys - slides, sand boxes, chalk, bouncy balls, even a little play cottage. Laurie sends weekly posts with photos, videos, and journals and it's wonderful to get a regular glimpse into your child's day to day activities. And they provide organic foods and lunch -- a huge perk! Best of all is Laurie's willingness and availability to communicate openly with parents on how their child is doing and how to create the best possible environment for their development and well-being."

"Little Feet Daycare is truly wonderful! We knew from the moment we visited that this was a joyful, nurturing, and thoughtful daycare that would be a great home away from home for our daughter and fit for our family. Laurie and her teachers are amazing. They are really very thoughtful about the curriculum and adjusting to each child's individual needs and development, as well as interests. And at the same time, they gently guide the kids to grow and explore in new ways, all through play. Most of all they love the kids and interact in a way that is kind and respectful, and we feel so good knowing our daughter is getting lots of love with a consistent staff all day long. Little Feet is such a special place, and esp. in Brookline it's great for the kids to have so much space to play both inside and outside. It's so fun to hear about the variety of things they do every day, and see pictures and videos that Laurie posts every week. And they provide organic foods and lunch which is so nice not to have to worry about."

"Laurie has set the bar high for toddler care. Our daughter attended Little Feet for a year before we moved, and she absolutely loved going to "school". Her language skills grew exponentially and she constantly surprised us with the new things she'd learned. Laurie has a wonderful library filled with hundreds of books, a large assortment of educational toys and a lovely, private backyard with a garden for the kids to play in. They get lots of outdoor time year round without having to walk to a public park. Weekly music classes are an added perk. All meals are included and I found the hours to be great for a working family. I highly recommend Little Feet."

"We were so happy at Little Feet. My son spent two years with Laurie in her daycare and had a wonderful experience. He loved going in the morning and didn't want to leave in the afternoon. Laurie treats every family with utmost respect and really works to understand and nurture each child. She is both a teacher and a caregiver, and the quality of the staff and her program are truly exceptional. I highly recommend Little Feet for any toddler."

"Can't say enough wonderful things about Little Feet and the experience my daughter has had there. Laurie is incredibly knowledgeable about the developmental needs of toddlers, and puts a great deal of thought and care into all of the activities and projects she does with the kids. Every day the kids enter to a new set up of toys which makes for such nice variety. She provides healthy, organic meals and snacks, has a top-notch staff (as well as a great student/teacher ratio), and the environment and facilities are warm and inviting. I highly recommend Little Feet"
