  • I've been sending my little one to La Escuelita for a bit now and honestly, the cleanliness is what sold me. It’s way better than some of the other spots in the neighborhood that feel a bit grimy; this place actually stays on top of sanitizing. I also really love that they aren't just a 'drop off and forget' kind of place—they actually incorporate health and nutrition into what they do, which feels very community-focused and purposeful. It’s not just about snack time, they seem to care about where the food comes from and environmental justice, which is a big plus for me. The communication about the usual daycare bugs is decent, and I feel like they actually try to follow their sick policies instead of letting everything slide. It’s a solid, healthy environment for the kids to grow up in.
