I cannot say enough about Little Footprints and how the school and people have been such a blessing to my children and me.
The Little Footprints staff educates with knowledge, compassion and kindness.
When I leave my son at Little Footprints, I know he is being cared for by a staff who genuinely love him and only want the best for him.
