Testimonials

Little Hands Preschool Environment for Early LearnersLittle Hands Learning Center is an absolutely incredible preschool program. Tricia is wonderful, friendly, accommodating and a totally incredible teacher. She teaches her students with kindness and love, while also teaching them rules and clear boundaries.

When we first enrolled my daughter she was very shy and had never been with anyone other than family. Tricia was patient, supportive and helped my daughter to grow, learn and turn into a little girl who wanted to go to preschool all day every day. We literally counted down to each preschool day.

Tricia provides a safe, nurturing and educational environment for kids to learn and socialize. It's clear that she cares for her students and truly loves what she does. The amount of knowledge my daughter learned (both socially and academically) is incredible. I cannot recommend Tricia and Little Hands Learning Center enough. Tricia is absolutely the reason why I have zero concerns about my daughter going into kindergarten this fall. I know my daughter has been set up for success by Tricia and will have no troubles transitioning to kindergarten.

Ms.Tricia has such a welcoming, gentle, kind way with her students. Our son has struggled to adapt to new situations in the past, but the transition to Little Hands was much smoother than we expected. 

Our son felt very comfortable in her care. He appreciated the routine and variety of choices available to him during preschool. 

We appreciated her play based approach to learning. Our son would come home and talk about all the toys he played with, all the stories he heard, and then suddenly he would tell us all the days of the week or some other new thing he had learned. He had both the opportunity to explore things he was interested in, and to work on writing his letters in a fun and relaxed way.

As a public health nurse I was really thrilled with how Ms. Tricia handled all thing Covid during a very tricky year.

Our family highly recommends Ms.Tricia and Little Hands Learning Centre, you won’t be disappointed!

My grandson Paxton has been going to Little Hands for 6 months and his transistion into Tricia program was smooth.  Paxs felt an instant connection with Tricia and her welcoming personality

My grandson is hearing impaired and has bilateral hearing loss and on Tricia's first meeting with Paxton she knelled down got to his level and spoke directly to him and also using sign for play. I saw Paxton respond to Tricia right away

Along with her willingness to learn more sign to communicate more effectively with Paxton and for the other Children to as well , Tricia was also able to make the room more hearing friendly for Paxton by adding sound proof products IE floor rugs, FM Sound System

Paxton has learned numbers, counting , writing ( so proud of his perfect P )

Tricia program develops a fun , creative hands on learning experience and everyday that I pick Paxton up he is happy and excited to tell me about his day

I highly recommend Tricia and her center - your child will thrive under her careful watch

Paxton and I will miss her terribly

Tricia was the first teacher my son had at another centre. She made the transition easy for my son (but mostly for me!) It's clear that she loves working with children. She's an amazing teacher. I'm excited that she is opening up her own centre. Congratulations Tricia!!
