“Our association with Little Scholars Nest Preschool has been for four years. Teaching, creativity, and fun are the three pillars of this school. Both my girls enjoyed going to Little scholars nest preschool the teachers love the kids and attend to their curiosity, little minds, and needs. From Show and Tell to craft projects, from weekly pizza parties to extracurricular activities like dance and gymnastics, from academic excellence to feeding kids their lunch and evening snacks, they take care of everything. Kids wait for Monday to go to school (unlike our school experience when we always wanted to skip school.) They wait for the holiday season for other fun activities - Easter egg hunt, Halloween parade, and Christmas party just the name a few. My girls have made tons of memories in the school. Special thanks to Ms S, Ms S, and Ms K for giving an outstanding experience to both my kids and us parents.”

Ms Semi, you have a special place in Viraj’s heart, you made him feel right at home, taught him his abcs. What can I say other than thank you. Ms K, you made him the boy he is right now, dealing with his nonstop speech and hyper activity, taught him lots of poems, math, and [now] he tries to red on his own.

Nadgir Family, 2016:
“We are so grateful to have been able to send Gawri to Little Scholars Nest. My only regret is that Arya did not have that opportunity due to space and timing. We are so impressed with everything Gawri has learnt, most of all how close the children are together. We are so proud to say that Gawri went to school (next door). We consider ourselves very lucky to have had your school as well as you and your family as neighbors. Gawri will miss you, but don’t blame me if she comes over the fence for playtime. My parents are very impressed. Ms K and Ms S, thank you for teaching our energetic Gawri. Getting her to focus and learn must have been a challenge but you have done it well. We can’t believe how much she has learnt. Our concern is will she be bored in kinder. Gawri has so much respect for you both, and she will miss you dearly. Since we are next-door, we hope to stop by and say hello once in a while, we wish you all the very best and thank you for everything.“

Above al the learning and creativity that you foster, we appreciate eandf cherish the happy kids you send back home each day whao are only eager to return back to their teachers and friends the next morning. The wise [guide] not only cares for his saplings by watering them, feeding them, giving them sun and shade when needed, but also knows when to wield the pruning sessions to trim, train, and lead the plant to a healthy, well balanced future. Surya and I thank you for taking good care of our younglings and preparing them for the next phase of their lives. We wish you the very best and continued success. You have an awesome team!”
Joe and Anu, 2016:
“Dear [teachers], we are very pleased with the progress made by Karen over the 2 1/2 years that she has been with little scholars nest. The teachers are very caring and compassionate and have built a trusted relationship with our daughter. the preschool and pre-K program is structured very well to cater to the needs of the child and has prepared her for kindergarten program, helps with reading, math, crafts, show and tell, dance, music, gymnastics, Halloween, and Christmas performances. All of these had helped a daughter to be a well-rounded child ready for kindergarten with confidence. Their focus on public speaking has helped our daughter to get out of her comfort zone and speak in front of an audience. My daughter is happy and engaged, and we can see this when she comes home and talks about school. With both parents working full time, we were looking for a place that not only provides a great education but is also caring, and treats kids with respect and kindness. We truly have a peace of mind knowing that our daughter is in such great hands that will treat our daughter like their own. I believe that it would be hard to find a more caring environment that provides the opportunity for children to thrive and reach their full potential. Thank you little scholars nest.”
Parul and Sujal Shah, 2015:
“I could fill this entire book full of words and still not be able to fully express how much you all have meant to Nikki and our entire family, Little Scholars Nest is truly a “home” school for us because I feel like Nikki is in school everyday with family! As your neighbors we promise to visit from time to time since we will miss you all so much! You are all amazing people and great teachers.”
Kiran and Ramesh, 2015:
“Thank you for all the care education and teaching you have provided to Sreyas in transforming him over this year. I feel confident that he is very much ready for kindergarten and to be in a large classroom setting. I remember one year ago when we pulled Sreyas out of Stratford school we enrolled him at Little Scholars Nest Preschool with a hope that he would at least learn good behavior in a nurturing and more tolerant atmosphere. The good is truly accomplished with the hardwork and perseverance shown by all of you. A big thank you again.”

You can call her and check her preschool curriculum. Besides academics, she did lots of extra-curricular activities throughout the year. Overall, neat, and clean environment.”
Nausheen and Aatif Aquil, 2007 :
"Gentle, loving, caring, home away from home.. Shalini's Little Scholars Nest was a great place to be for my kids over the summer. You will be always greeted with a smile at the door, at pick up or drop off, your concerns will always be heard, and you can be rest assured your child is getting the best care away from home. Classrooms are neat and clean, well-organized, activities planned to keep your child involved and happy, routine followed from breakfast to lunch to nap time to outdoor play so your child is comfortable and knows what to expect. Above all, Shalini is great with kids, understanding, and patient and loving. It's hard to find childcare like this these days."
