HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! The staff of teachers are great. The care and attention they give to my son by far exceeds any of our expectations. The school provides a safe, loving and secure environment. Our son absolutely love attending Lil Rascals.

Little Rascals Cooper City is a great school! My son has been in this school since 18 months and now he is 3 years old. The staff and teachers there are very friendly. They greet the kids and the parents and it seems everyone knows my son’s name. The teachers are very friendly and well trained. They have tones of indoor activities and outdoor play time. We always got the cute art pieces made from my son at school. We will recommend this school to anyone who wants your little one to be in a loving environment and also learns a lot.

My son has come to Lil Rascals Cooper City for 5 years and he loves it! He has come LEAPS AND BOUNDS from where he was when He began! I wouldn’t send him anywhere else. The teachers are all understanding and very communicative with information. They have a mobile app that shows photos and gives information about my son almost everyday and I can communicate with his teacher directly! I love this school! My son has continued into the after school program and loves it!

Excellent and loving environment! The moment you walk into the building from the director of the school, managers, stuff at the front desk to the teachers - everyone makes you feel like you are a family. They are very communicative and helpful! My daughter has been attending this school for 3 yrs. She loves her school and all her teachers! She always has something exciting to tell me about the activities she did throughout the day when I pick her up. I am very grateful i picked this school for my daughter and i highly recommend this school!

Great daycare! Amazing teachers! Very clean and personable. My son has been attending since 6 months and he’s now two years old. I highly recommend it! The staff is friendly and responsible. It’s a safe place for all kids to grow up in. Go for it! Call now!

I love this place! My two kiddos (3 and 2)had never been to daycare last March when they started, so I was so nervous to leave them anywhere. This place made them feel so welcome and loved. They enjoy going to school every day and sometime I think they love their teachers more than me, lol! My 3 year was a shy, quiet toddler just a couple of months ago, now he has advanced his speech incredibly, has come out of his shell and has become an outgoing, fun loving kid. This school is one of the best thing that has happened to both of them!

This place is amazing. It hasnt been easy to find a daycare that my wife and I both felt comfortable with. But when we found this gem, we knew our search was over. From the moment we came in, everyone was extremely welcoming and really took their time to show and explain everything. Theyve expressed genuine interest in our sons development but also cared and addressed our concerns. What can I say? Great place to spend your time and learn things if you are a child but also a great place to leave your little one without worrying. Thank you for being attentive, carrying and honest!

I live 2 minutes from the Davie location. They had no open infant spots when I had to return to work March, which forced me to go to the Cooper City location. This school is amazing. From the first day I walked in there and took a tour, they have shown nothing but love and care. My daughter started there when she was 3 months old and she is going to be 8 months. She is so advanced and does things I have never seen a BABY do (including standing at 6 months old). I also get updates/pictures all day. Also, I decided to send my older daughter (6 years) to the summer camp offered at the school. She totally loves it and it’s going to be hard to get her back in regular school! Thank you Lil Rascals Academy staff for making this very easy for all of us. We appreciate all of you!

Little Rascals is a great academy for little children. They have a great program. There is always fun and creative activities the kids to do (cooking classes, arts, and crafts). Each week there is a new concept the kids are exposed to. The facility is super clean, the staff is nice and very friendly. We are happy with the school and highly recommend it.

Went for a tour and I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the academy. I really appreciate that they offer a hands-on learning/exploration approach for the toddlers as opposed to technological (Televised/iPad) approach. I still believe hands on will exercise and develop their motor skills; rather swiping “up, down, left, right”! We don’t need anymore techno savvy zombie kiddies in society 😂

Great school. We love the teachers. Our sons have been there for couple months and so far were happy with the school. They provide light breakfast, lunch and snacks so that even better for me as working mom. My sons are picky eaters but so far they can eat lunch there. New renovated facility is a plus.

My daughter has been going for 6 months. Ms. Sandra in infant 2 is an excellent teacher, very informative and helpful. Being new parents she has been instrumental in coaching us through our childs development. Everyone there is very friendly. We receive updates throughout the day on her daily activities.

My son has been attending this location for 3 years now in their aftercare program and summer camp. They help him with his homework, they provide meals, and they do fun field trips during summer/days off from school. My son enjoys playing with the kids and looks forward to his time there after school.

My 2 year old daughter has been in Ms. Rosarios class for 3 months now and I am so happy with the progress she has made in such a short time. She is now potty trained (something she has been fighting for a long time), she is more social, she is eating better, and she loves going to school and playing with her friends. This school is so clean and spacious. They have so many activities for the kids. I love the brightwheel app. I get updates and pictures of her all day long. I am so grateful to Ms. Rosario for caring for my girl as if she were her own. When i drop her off, I feel as if I am leaving her with family. My son is in the aftercare program. He is treated like family as well. Everyone that cares for him shows him so much love and kindness, Mr. Patrick, Ms. Jodi, Ms. Roxana and everyone else I might have missed. I cant say enough about this school. Thank you Lil Rascals!

Both my sons have been attending Lil Rascals for 3 years and I am very pleased with the staff. Luciana makes every effort to ensure all the kids are taken care of properly and promotes a healthy environment. Her staff, especially Mr. Patrick, goes the extra mile to provide fun activities and promotes mutual respect from all the children. Thank you guys.

My daughter has attended little rascals for about a year and a half now and she has done very well here. She has loved each teacher shes had so far. Starting a new class in 2 weeks but excited for a new beginning. We will miss her last teacher Ms. Charo shes been awesome! I wish it was more cost friendly... but it is what it is:)

Having our daughter attend for the last 6 months has been a great experience. Teachers and staff are all great people. Love that the school uses the Brightwheel App which allows you to communicate directly with teachers and receive notifications during the day of your kids daily routine.

I absolutely love this preschool!! I am very big on education and I am glad that I took the time to search for a school where my daughter would enjoy learning. The staff at this school does a very good job at building the foundation that children need to successfully enter kindergarten. My once timid little girl is now a smart social butterfly. If you want your little one to receive the best start, Little Rascals @ Cooper City is the place to go.

My son has been attending this preschool since he was three months old. Im very happy with the school and have never had any issues. Whats good about it is the teachers are very caring and make me feel comfortable leaving my child in their hands. Children are moved every 6 months and the ratio of teacher to child is reasonable. I also appreciate that I can communicate with teachers through their new app which also allows the teachers to send me messages and pictures throughout the day.

Both our children attend LilRascals Academy . My husband and I were comfortable the minute we walked in 3 years ago. My son has attended since he was 10 weeks old and is now 3 and our daughter is now attending. We love the teachers who are there everyday and take care of our children as their own. Its great to receive pictures and progress updates through the Brightwheel App which makes it a little easy having to be at work all day.

Both of my twin boys (20 month-old) currently attend Lil Rascals Academy. I love the facility. Its very clean and spacious for my boys to roam around and explore. The staff and faculty are absolutely amazing :)! The teachers love and care for my sons like their own. My husband and I are so pleased with the service they provide here :)! I absolutely recommend Lil Rascals Academy to any parents who want only the best for their children.

Unequivocally, choosing Lil rascals was the correct school for our child. The teachers, staff and facility are top notch. If you are looking for a preschool that will strengthen your childs academic, social and gross/fine motor skills then dont look any further, Lil rascals cooper city is it. The school provides a safe, clean, fun and secure learning environment that our child LOVES!

This is as amazing school. They take academics and transform it into a fun and positive experience. My daughter Emily has been VPK ready since she easy 3.

A very long time when I was in high school I worked for the Pembroke Pines location for years. So when I had children of my own there was no doubt that I wanted to send them to Lil Rascals. Unfortunately I wasnt able to send my son there but my daughter, who is now 3, goes to the Cooper City location. I love her teachers and the office staff. They all meet the needs of my very stubborn daughter and have had patience and consistency with her. I would and have recommended this school to friends and family.

The review below was before my daughter turned 3. I as perfectly happy with the school and her 2yr old teacher Ms. Rosario. Who is a great teacher and loved my child. My nightmare began this week when my child started her 3yr class with Ms. Monica.I had never had any problems with this school until my daughter moved to the 3yr olds classroom. My daughter just turned 3 in June, and we started potty training in April. She has the pee down but not #2. When she started this Monday the teacher Ms. Monica told me that she had to bring pull ups. I told her that I know that she has accidents, but I did not agree with her reverting back to pull ups. The Director Amanda called me and repeated the same and I also said that I did not want to. To my surprise this morning, she had left a directive to the teacher not to accept my daughter unless she had pull ups. We had a conversation and they were not willing to work with me. I was very upset, I thought they cared about my child. I felt complete and utter rejection for my child. I also felt like a failure as a parent. I guess if your child does not get the whole potty training down then you are not welcomed in this school.Review from last month:My daughter has been going to this school since she was one. She is now about to be three next month. The staff is pleasant, the teachers are very lovely and supportive.

I love this preschool! My 3 year old has been here almost a year and my 1 year old started this week. Leaving your kids is never easy, but I definitely have peace of mind when I leave them in school. The teachers and administration is great! My kids have severe food allergies and it is a peanut free facility, which is extremely important to me. They take it very seriously. Highly recommend!!

As a parent you wish you could stay home with your babies but in todays world its hard to do. I did it with my first two but times are different and had to put in my baby to go back to work. From day 1 I knew this was the place to be. Individual rooms for each age, when little they move up every 6 months based on progress. You get progress reports every day. Potty training when its time. It is set up as a school atmosphere as early as infants. Reading time, play time, learning time, singing, and when its summer they make an indoor summer camp for the little ones. Christmas parties Halloween parties holiday crafts cooking projects. Even at play there is a lesson to be learned. This is not a daycare it is a school even at 8 weeks of age!!!

Being a first time Mom it was extremely hard to return to work knowing that I was going to have to put my daughter in Child Care. I toured about 6 schools in my area before I found the one. LIL Rascals was the only school that felt like home. From feeling like my daughter was secure to the warm loving teachers that work here I knew this was the place for us. I am so pleased with how much my daughter has grown and we are now excited about VPK coming up in the next few months. Thank you so much for the piece of mind you ladies give me on a daily basis. Just like a second family.

Love Lil Rascals! Love the staff - super friendly, nice, and let u know everything u need to know. From the moment i walked in i thought the classrooms were clean and spacious. I have 2 boys that go here, the first, now 3, has been going here since he was 4 and a half months old and the other since he was 3 months old and now hes almost 1. I am sooooooo confortable with leaving my children here, and knowing everyone the second time around really helps with the trust in the care that i know theyll be given. Go to Lil Rascals....see Mrs. Amanda. All the Admin are amazing.

I have two children in this school! It is always clean and their top priority is the well being of the children. Their diapers are changed regularly and never stay on for more than 1.5 hours without being changed. It is a very welcoming school and I am so glad I have my kids there.If I am worried about them or have a question, I can call the school and they will immediately connect me with the teacher who answers the phone and puts me at ease. The teacher to child ratio is extremely low so the kids get a TON individual time.I cant possibly say enough about this place!!!

My daughter was at Lil Rascals for 5 weeks. At first, it seems great. The place is beautiful and large. I would drop her off early in the morning. Most mornings, they did not have a teacher in her room. She was 7 months old and I had dropped her off with 3 different teachers in 5 weeks. I even had to leave her in the toddler room for the first week. Then, I had picked her up and noticed on 3 occasions that she had been scratched. First, on her bottom, then on her leg, and then her finger. Each time, no one knew how it got there. One time, they told me she scraped her leg on the playground and to send her in pants to go outside. This playground is meant just for infants and crawls. Why would they get scraped when crawling outside? It is Florida and 100 degrees outside. Why would I put her in pants to play outside?My daughter had been there for 5 weeks. After the 3rd week, I asked why her name was not on her cubby, crib, in the fridge, etch when all the other kids had their name. She started at the start of school (August). The director herself told me that she would make sure it was done. 2 weeks later and still no one had put her name up.After about the 2nd week of her being there, they decided to open another infant room for younger kids. They told me that they were going to be moving her in that room. A few days later, when I said that she had just turned 9 months told they were shocked. They said they thought she was 6 months. How did they not know how old she was?The issues just continued. After 5 weeks, my daughter was still crying every day after being dropped off. When we finally moved her, she had only cried for 1 day. I guess even a 9 month can tell you when they are not happy at a day care.

Although I felt that some of the teachers and office staff were wonderful, I have to give this facility 1 star. My son was in the Infant 2 room. I came to pick him up one day only to see that he was having trouble breathing. I had to take him directly to the ER. His teacher, Ms. Sandra, did not notice and no one notified me. I called the next morning to fill the director in, this was in February and I think her name was Lucinda) and rather than apologize or tell me how they would prevent this in the future she blamed the AC being on and then proceeded to tell me that kids get sick in daycare and its ok because it builds immunity. Thats true, kids get sick in daycare but parents trust daycare to watch their kids when they cant and at least call when there is a problem. I pulled him out that same day and would never return her or recommend this daycare. The director did do me a favor and waive the two week notice penalty. Just disgusting.

Review №72

I have two children that attend Lil Rascals Academy and I absolutely love the staff and the facility. They have recently expanded this location and offer more classes for a smoother transition during the toddler phase which benefits both the child and parents. They have an open door policy and they often encourage parents to participate in daily activities such as story time and arts and crafts. The staff creates such a warm and loving environment that my children are excited to go to school every morning. I live in Miramar where I am surrounded by several other daycare facilities but I’m willing to drive out of my way so that my children can attend the BEST!!! This is no daycare facility. It is a learning environment that ensures your child will reach their highest potential by stimulating and exploring all areas of education including the arts.Omorose
