Why Families Recommend Little Tykes
Real words from real families who trust us every day.
94 reviews, 57 photos Little Tykes has been great to my 2 year old. He has fun with the activities and they send you pictures of your child of his/her daily activities. They are professional and very organized school/daycare. The price is good for a full time program, I strongly recommend Little Tykes for any Lodi residents. What I love the most is that I didn't had to wait until September for my son to start the headstart program. He is turning 3 in a week and he started 3 weeks ago.
8 reviews, 6 photos My 3 and 2 year old boys have been at this day care for 2 years and they absolutely love it. The teachers are all very dedicated and love the kids so much. It’s a small family owned place so they are able to keep class sizes small which allows the kids to form better connections. They take the kid outside everyday and do cute activities like water play which the boys absolutely love.
1 review, 0 photos Little Tykes Preschool is amazing! The staff are kind, patient, and truly care about each child’s growth and happiness. My daughter has learned so much since starting here — from social skills to early learning activities. The classrooms are always clean, organized, and full of fun, creative projects. Communication with parents is excellent; they always keep us updated about daily activities and progress. I feel confident and at peace knowing my child is in such a warm, safe environment. Highly recommend Little Tykes to any parent looking for quality childcare!
3 reviews, 3 photos I was looking last minute for a daycare for my two year daughter. The day i called the Director had told me one spot was available! Next day i went in for a tour and fell in love. Everyone felt so welcoming and the classrooms were so cute. Being a first mom and sending my two year old off to daycare was very scary but i knew in my heart she would be ok. First week was hard but she is now going on her 3rd week and she loves it! Mrs.Fran always has such a welcoming voice when welcoming all the kids! She always makes sure to let me know how my little one is doing. Love this daycare! So thankful to have found them 💕

3 reviews, 2 photos I can’t say enough good things about Little Tykes Preschool and Daycare Center. From day one, the entire team has been warm, supportive, and incredibly professional. Ms. Megan made the transition from being home with my child to starting daycare such a smooth and comforting experience. Her kindness, patience, and constant communication truly eased our minds as parents.Now that my child is in the toddler classroom, Ms. Ally has continued that same level of excellence. It’s clear that the staff at Little Tykes genuinely care about the children and their development ....

Lodi, NJ Our son started attending Little Tykes when he was a year and a half and recently he graduated PreK-4 program. We couldn't be any happier with the school. The teachers are excellent and the school has a lot of different activities for early learning. We loved the projects our son brought daily and that we could read his weekly program to discuss his school work. We love how the areas and the program are organized and appreciate our son's progress over the years at Little Tykes. Many thanks to Lyttle Tykes' teachers and staff!
