What the parents say

"We currently have two children attending Little Duck and we have been very happy with the care and instruction they receive. The school does an excellent job of selecting teachers and aides that are friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative, and it shows in how much both of our children have learned during their time at the school.  It's good to see that they let 'kids be kids' while still ensuring that good behavior is followed - a delicate balance any parent can appreciate."

The Christ Family

"As new parents, we had no experience with daycare. We wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. We found what we were looking for and more with Little Duck Day School! The staff is great, from the first day they made us feel comfortable and our son warmed up to them immediately. The Director Amanda is especially wonderful. She was very flexible, understanding, and always makes herself available in case you have any questions or concerns."

The Papageorgiou Family

"Both of our children started at Little Duck when they were 14 weeks old. Now aged 3 and 4, they are still full time students at the school.  I attribute a great deal of their social and developmental growth to the teachers and structured curriculum. The staff is extremely attentive, professional and patient.  The school fosters a comfortable and fun learning environment. It is such a relief to drop our children off in the morning knowing they are in good hands throughout the day."

The Rapone Family

"I consider the Little Duck Day School to be an excellent choice for the parent or guardian who wants a playful atmosphere and wonderful learning environment for their child.  I have left both my son and daughter in their care for the last seven years and I can say, without a doubt, that the Little Duck Day School has been tremendous for their academic, social, and emotional development."

The Begley Family

Little Duck Day School has superseded our expectations. Our Daughter has attended Little Duck as an infant in the daycare and now is in Pre-School 2 at Little Duck. She loves going to school and has developed tremendously in so many ways especially educationally. We are so pleased on how the wonderful teachers and all the staff nurtured her from infancy to now a toddler from teaching her all the educational skills, manners, basic listening, following rules,art & crafts and the list goes on, as well as the individual tender attention when required. They all take a special part in the growth of my daughter. I’m so grateful for all of the staff. I highly recommend Little Duck. It truly is a family environment.

The Tompkin Family

“My 3.5 year old started Little Duck after having an awful preschool experience at another school.   Amanda and the staff at Little Duck welcomed him with open arms.    His transition was smooth and he is back to being a happy little boy!    Miss Amber creates lessons that are fun and engaging and all the extra-curricular activities are an added bonus.”
