Our daughter has been with Toot-a-Lou for 2 years now, she started at 15 months and has absolutely been thriving under Lorie’s expert care and that of her wonderful assistants. She just loves it there and we do too! Couldn’t recommend more.

We love Toot-a-Lou! Both of our daughters (6yo and 4yo) are alumni, with our 4yo only now about to depart for TK. Lorie is fantastic. She is full of love and empathy and fun kid activities. She never closed during the pandemic. She is a total professional. Recommend in the strongest terms.
