Parent Reviews
My husband and I were both in medical residency when we sent our son to Little Ducklings starting at age 4 months, until he was a year and a half old when we moved away. I trusted the care he received there wholeheartedly. Zagdsodnom showed our son so much love and care, and he truly loved her! The best feeling a parent could have is to see their kid be totally happy and comfortable in their daycare. We also witnessed him thrive in his development- Zag made a dedicated effort to keep the kids cognitively stimulated throughout the day according to their appropriate needs. I saw evidence of this when my son ran into one of the other kids at the playground after daycare. They were playing a game they had learned together at Little Ducklings (yelling “up and down” while jumping and giggling). She also was incredibly patient and adaptive to each child’s unique needs, and spent time chatting with each of the parents nearly daily to ensure all caretakers were on the same page. Lastly, she was very accommodating when my husband and I had more demands on our work schedule. We were so sad to leave! I recommend little ducklings very highly!
Our daughter spent two years at Sodoo’s and we couldn’t have asked for a more warm, loving, nurturing environment for her. Sodoo truly cares for the children in her care, and our daughter grew to love her so much. She would even ask to go to daycare on the weekends. For our daughter’s first birthday, we were so surprised by a sweet present for her and pictures of a birthday celebration they had with the kids! Birthday and holiday gifts given to the children are such a sweet and personal touch. It was such a blessing to be able to drop our daughter off each day at a place where we knew she was loved and cared for. We cried on our last day - Thank you to Sodoo and her team for making our daughter’s first daycare experience such a great one.
Absolutely thrilled with the daycare experience provided by Sodoo and her team! Our daughter has been attending for nearly a year now, and the transformation is amazing. She has blossomed socially and emotionally in an environment that's clearly designed to nurture children's growth. Sodoo’s approach is a blend of professional expertise and genuine warmth. She goes the extra mile to keep the children engaged with creative and fun activites\. The facility is clean, organized, and brimming with positivity, making it a second home for our little one. Safety and well-being are clearly Sodoo's top priorities, which gives us immense peace of mind. This level of care and attention to detail makes us feel very fortunate to have found such an exceptional daycare. Highly recommended for any parent who wants the best for their child!
We had the most wonderful experience with Sodoo and her teachers at Little Duckling. Our daughter, Juliana, started daycare at 8 months and we were nervous about the transition. We could not have asked for a better, more loving environment for Juliana. They were attentive to her needs, flexible with her schedule as she adjusted and grew, and very communicative with us. They made celebrations special and fun for the kids and provided many enrichment opportunities - arts and crafts, imaginative play, and a great backyard play space. I highly recommend Little Ducklings to any families looking for childcare along with peace of mind!
We had the absolute best experience at Little Duckling. Our daughter was six months old when we first brought her, and I was so nervous and stressed over leaving her for the first time. But Sodoo was obviously incredibly experienced and immediately made me feel at ease. When I would bring my daughter to daycare in the morning, her face would light up when she’d see Sodoo which was such a great sign. Sodoo has the calmest maternal feeling about her, and I think the kids really respond to it. My daughter obviously really loved Sodoo, and that made me feel so much better and more relaxed about leaving her during the day. We unfortunately had a few medical emergencies at daycare when our daughter suddenly spiked a fever, and I was extremely impressed at how Sodoo handled scary situations: she was calm and in control and contacted us in real time so we could be there as soon as possible. Our daughter’s health scares were alarming but I’m really glad Sodoo was there when they happened and that she handled the way she did. Our doctors even praised our daycare and were really impressed at the way Sodoo handled the events. Net: I can’t recommend Sodoo and Little Duckling Daycare enough. The kids are happy, Sodoo is fabulous, and I felt safe and comfortable leaving my baby there while I worked. We would bring all our future kiddos here if we could.
Soodoo and her team were just the best! We joined after our prior daycare could not handle our son's separation anxiety. He took to soodoo right away. She is so patient and nurturing. We were so sad to leave and cannot express how grateful we were for her assistants' care, patience, and love. I was so happy to drop our son off each day knowing he was excited to see her and in such good hands. He is very sensitive and really flourished into a sweet, kind, confident boy in the 18 months he was there. When we drive by, he asks to see her still!
Oh, Thank you all🥰
Sodoo and her team are caring and nurturing. My daughter was at Little Duckling for almost one year before heading to preschool and she definitely misses them. They provide three hot meals per day, which is hard to come by. They are very supportive with potty training. Sodoo throws the kids birthday celebrations and even gives the kids gifts on their birthdays, Christmas and when departing her daycare. We highly recommend Little Duckling.
We had our son at Sodoo's daycare from 6 month old until about 1 year old when we moved out of state. Overall we really enjoyed sending our son to Sodoo's daycare. Her and her staff took great care of him and we always felt good about having him there. You could tell they really loved him. Can definitely highly recommend Sodoo!
Sodoo and her team are amazing! Our daughter went to this daycare at 6 mo and immediately adjusted to the new routine and fell in love with Sodoo. They got her on a schedule, were patient with her fussy eating, and showed her so much love. They always knew the highlights of her day at pickup as if she was the only child in their care. Sodoo was wonderful to work with and has a fair and reasonable contract. Our daughter was always happy at drop off and pickup. The only reason we left was due to moving to another town. We miss Little Ducklings and Sodoo! I highly recommend this wonderful daycare.
We love little Duckling. Sodoo is so caring and loving. Our daughter loves seeing her and is ready to play in their great space each day. We’re so happy that we found such a great daycare.
