"Teacher Emily is so sweet and caring, my son absolutely adores her. She gives constant communication throughout his day so I know what he’s doing, eating, or learning about. If I have any questions or concerns, Teacher Emily is always a prompt responder. I was hesitate to start him at daycare since he is so used to being around me all the time but Teacher Emily has treated him just like family. He doesn’t even want to leave! He always wants to stay with Teacher Emily. My son’s speaking skills/development skills have also improved since he started daycare. As soon as we get home he will pick up a book and “read to himself”. I couldn’t be more excited for him. Trust me when I say Little Bloom Academy is an amazing place for your kids! Thank you Teacher Emily!! You are truly amazing"
