The staff have been a huge support and great to work with while our son has been going through a difficult transition. I have no concerns about his safety or happiness when he is at school and can go to work with peace of mind!

Highly recommend!
– Beautiful facility
– Great staff
– Highly involved owners

Nothing compares on Cape
Only Con is how hard it is to get in so plan as far as you can.

It’s well worth the wait

Little Stars is awesome!!!! The teachers are very kind and caring for the children. Our son has been in each class starting as infant and with different teachers. We love them all and appreciate their hard work and patience they have. As a parent I want my son to be safe at all times and I know that he is safe at this school. The new management has done a great job on renovating the school, the playground, the cafeteria. Kudos to everyone at Little Stars and thank you for all you do every day for us parents and our kids!!!

My husband and I have been thrilled with our choice in Little Stars since day one! It’s more than just a daycare for our 10 month old, we view it as an extension of our family. This is our first child and with being new parents we were obviously extra cautious in our selection. Both of us work full time with long hours, when we drop her off we have full confidence that she is loved and cared for as if she was home with us. Little Stars has a structured schedule (with flexibility since after all it is the infant room) and our daughter has thrived in that environment. We love all the arts and crafts they do throughout the week (our fridge is full of hand and foot prints) and that they have a visiting music teacher as well. The app used to communicate with us about our daughters day is easy to use, informative, and we just love getting pictures of her playing with all her buddies. There is a lot of paperwork and logistics that go into a well run school and the formalities can get overwhelming and frustrating at times, but it instills trust that our daughter is very safe while in Little Stars care. We, without a doubt, would choose Little Stars over and over again, and then again.

Enrolled my daughter here at about 6 months old. She has made so much progress in the time she has been here! Facility is clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and seems to genuinely like working there. Feel completely confident that my daughter is safe and well taken care of while she is here. They take safety very seriously and are constantly communicating if there are any issues, concerns, or to reiterate the rules. If you have any issues raise it with anyone they are very responsive to correct it. Very organized system and you always know what they’ve had for lunch, nap time, diaper changes. Lots of activities and family involvement. My daughter loves going there and we are more than happy with our choice to enroll her there.

What a great daycare! Little stars has really gone above and beyond for my child. Misty and Marleen are incredibly supportive and nurturing to the babies in the infant room. It makes going to work a little bit easier knowing my child is in such great hands.

My 3 1/2 year old is doing so well at Little Stars. All of the teachers are trustworthy and loads of fun. Even through the dreaded potty training battle, the teachers in the preschool classrooms have been super supportive and encouraging. I am so glad we have found Little Stars Learning Center!!!

I have been a teacher here for 3 years and I could not ask for a better staff team as well as management. They go above and beyond to make little stars shine! Definitely my place away from home as we are all family.

Renee Rebello

My daughter loves going to school here! She had a tough transition from being cared for by family only prior to beginning preschool. The staff showed patience and kindness as she worked through the transition difficulties. There is so much warmth and love shown by the teachers. There’s great back and forth communication and the daily photos are heartwarming! Hot meals and snacks being served is a very convenient added bonus, my daughter has tried foods she normally wouldn’t try!

Brittany Salls

I drive 40 minutes a day to make sure my daughter is in great hands while I’m at work. This childcare is by far the best on Cape! Mrs. Marleen has treated my baby as if she were own, and we truly love her! My daughter has been going here since She was 7 months and that’s a hard first step to take with infants. This is a place I can trust, and that’s the most important piece of putting your child in child care. Now, with being in the toddler room they offer amazing food for the little ones- meals and snacks in between! Music class, outdoor fun, painting, pictures! Everything! Best of all, I get updates on my phone everyday of how my little girls day has been. We love you little stars! Thank you for all you do! 💜

We are so lucky to have found Little Stars Learning Center. They work very hard to keep a welcoming, clean, safe environment for all of the children. The biggest thing that stands out about Little Stars are the Teachers/staff. The teachers truly care about the children and they are very dedicated to their growth and development. They do a great job communicating with the parents through daily reports/frequent pictures and updates. They provide a variety of healthy organic meals each day which is a HUGE plus!! I am so happy that my son can stay with Little Stars all the way through preschool because it is very difficult to find a place this good.

Jasmine Dings

I have two children that attend Little Stars Learning center and I honestly cannot say enough good things about this daycare. All the teachers are so kind, professional, caring, and trustworthy. It’s so hard to find a place where I feel comfortable and confident to leave my children and I am so grateful and lucky to have found Little Stars. They often have games, parties, learning activities and arts and crafts for the kids. My children look forward to going to “school” everyday and that means everything to me. They’re the best!

Ian Bartenbach

Our child has been in the care of some of this staff her whole life. When Little Stars took ownership they took it in stride and never looked back. Since the beginning, the little stars staff has made everything so warm and relaxing. Even through the huge remodel! The attention to detail is amazing. From the education curriculum, cafeteria/food choices, to the awesome playground, it’s really become something I’m proud to bring my child to everyday. We look at Little Stars as a real school not just a daycare.

Words cannot express how much I love Little Stars. The staff is phenomenal. They are the nicest group of teachers and make my son feel so comfortable and at home every day he is there. They communicate often with parents about daily activities, learning milestones, and the curriculum with their secured app. I love receiving pictures daily of my son. He truly enjoys his time there. Highly recommended

Erin Gillis

My two sons have been going to Little Stars for over a year now. The teachers and staff are AMAZING- dedicated, friendly, and caring. They keep my husband and I updated throughout the day on our son’s care. The school itself is extremely clean and organized. Overall, I cannot say enough great things about this school and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Iryna Betancourt

My daughter has been attending their preschool for about 2 months by now. She absolutely loves going there and that is such a relief to the parents to see the child being happy! A giant THANK YOU to the teachers – they made the transition so easy!

The atmosphere, the curriculum, the values are very well set. The teachers are very responsive and responsible. They really teach each child and make the process of learning extremely interesting. There’s regular outside time too.

As parents, we see lots of updates and photos which definitely helps bring that peace of mind!

The food is another reason I’m so grateful for: most of the things fed are organic and there’s no overload of sugary items in their menu ( which BTW is always available and I love having it on hand ).

In general, we are so happy we got here! Thank you and keep the great work!

Jackie Buckley

We have TWO boys at Little Stars Learning Center and have been incredibly happy with the care and curriculum provided to them both. Our older son has been at the center just over a year, starting at the Children’s Workshop before Little Stars took over- we could not be happier with the amazing positive changes-from vibrantly painted walls to setting classroom spaces for the ages and stages of the children in them- simply adding toddler accessible sinks helped to promote more independence and confidence in our son! The staff is phenomenal- every staff member has a special relationship with each child- all making an effort to communicate effectively and make connections with parents/families. We love the App the center uses to provide picture updates throughout the day and helpful daily notes. We now have a 4 month old in the infant room and are so happy with the love and support provided for him and us. Our boys love Ms. Marleen, Ms. Misty, Ms. Marisa, Ms. Simone, Ms. Mel, Ms. Bobbi, Ms. Kristy, Ms. Jaki, Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Amy, Ms. Sydney, and of course their favorite furry friend- Ausland!

Kala Jablonski

We have been going to Little Stars for almost a year and we just can’t say enough good things about it! Our daughter has absolutely blossomed. Every single person there from the owners to the teachers are warm, welcoming, helpful, caring and above all else nurturing to little minds and hearts.

As a parent the most important thing is knowing that when your children aren’t with you they are safe and in competent, caring hands. From day one I have never once had a single doubt dropping her off. I leave her in the morning with a smile and I pick her up with an even bigger one. She has learned so much in her time there and grown exponentially both emotionally and academically. I look forward to continuing to watch her grow in the next few years before she goes to kindergarten.

Thank you Tanya, Sydney, Cheryl, Amy and ALL of the amazing teachers at Little Stars, we are so grateful to have found you to help in creating a solid foundation for our little one to learn and grow!

Dennis Patel

Great learning center for Kids.My son has learned a lot of things from little stars. His teachers Ms.Bobbie,Ms Melanie and Ms.Kristy are all great. Thank you once again to the staff of Little Stars.

Janet Woodbury

I came across Little stars learning center while my son was on a waitlist for another school. He was in within two weeks at Little Star and his brother just joined him this January. All the teachers and directors are trustworthy and people you can feel okay with leaving your children with. Both boys will certainly be there until it’s time for Kindergarten! Thank you Little Stars ❤️

My son started here a little over a year ago. It took a couple weeks for him to acclimate to being in a daycare setting, but once he did, he absolutely loves going. He grabs his backpack and rushes to the door on the days he goes to “school.” The things that he has learned there have amazed me and our family. The arts and crafts are adorable. And according to his teachers, he eats most of the food served to him there, which is shocking since he is so ridiculously picky at home. He had a speech delay and was being seen by early intervention, and Little Stars actually let his OT come see him in the class multiple times in order to help assess him in that setting. She told us how impressed she was with the care and education that she saw there, especially in comparison to many other daycares she has visited. A huge thank you to all the teachers and staff who work there. My son is thriving because of you.

Marisa Hibbard

My daugher has been going to Little Stars for one year- she first started in the Dennis location and is now in the Sandwich location. She has received stellar care at both locations. The teachers are all warm, caring, and friendly. My husband and I both work full time and I feel so lucky that our daughter gets to spend her days at Little Stars doing arts and crafts, eating yummy meals, and playing with friends. They also go outside a lot which I think is very important- fresh air! If you can get a spot at this school- take it- it is a fantastic place!

Sharon Smith

I cannot say enough about Little Stars! The school is clean, the teachers are warm and kind. The activities are fun and exactly what preschool should be. Our son loves going to school each day.

Another plus is the chef on site. I cannot believe all the new foods he has tried, that I know he would never do for us at home!

Jessica Woodford

I feel incredibly grateful to have found Little Stars. The entire facility is set up so thoughtfully. It is beautiful, bright, and welcoming. The staff are so knowledgeable, kind, and positive. Our daughter adores her teachers as do I. I have seen so much progress socially and verbally in my daughter since she has started. She loves the emotional support dog Ausland and talks about her nonstop. And get this parents…they serve food! They provide healthy snacks and lunch so there is no need to pack anything. I love how convenient this is but also that my daughter is trying all sorts of different foods. If you’re looking for a daycare/preschool I would highly recommend checking out Little Stars.

My son Henry is in preschool here and loves it! Shout out to Ms. Dawn and Ms. Courtney who are kind, loving, gentle, and wonderful teachers setting the foundation for my son’s education journey

Brittany Walsh

We LOVE Starboard! The staff is very friendly and make first-time-parents feel very comfortable having to leave our little one because we know he is in good hands. We love the weekly schedule and the focus on education, play, arts and socialization. We are so lucky to have such a great school so close! We have shared our experience with friends and they feel the same way so have started to send their kids here as well!

Mae Losee

Starboard has been great for my family. We came from a terrible previous experience and Miss Sydney and Miss Nikki completely put us at ease, the way no other provider did. They understand that the parents are just as anxious as the kiddos to start a new school!

Any question we’ve had has been resolved and dealt with immediately. It’s a beautiful school. Amazing teachers. Better meals than I could ever make my kids. And my 3 year old spent all summer learning about different cultures, countries, and parts of the world!

Highly recommend.

Lindsay MacLean

We are so beyond thrilled with our choice to send our daughter to Starboard Academy. From the moment we walked through the door at the Open House about a year ago, and every day since, we are so very happy we have found “the” place we can trust wholeheartedly. The facilities are bright, clean, safe and every bit designed and tailored to the children. The staff are kind, welcoming, energetic and dedicated. One aspect that we have found that sets Starboard apart from others is the reliable and consistent communication from the teachers and administration. We absolutely love receiving the updates and highlights of our daughters day through the app. Above all, we have witnessed our daughter demonstrate leaps and bounds in her social, cognitive and language skills. We feel confident we can attribute this in part to her learning at Starboard through the exceptional and engaging curriculum. Starboard is so much more than a “daycare,” it is a rich learning environment. Placing our full trust in others to care for our children can be challenging, with Starboard Academy we are not only at peace, but so immensely grateful we have found this wonderful place to witness our child blossom!

Krista Maguire

We love Starboard Academy! We knew this “school” was exactly what we were looking for, after sending our first child to multiple other daycare centers. Starboard Academy goes above and beyond. My son loves the outdoor playground, enchanted garden room and muscle room. I love the app with real-time updates and pictures. I look forward to the weekly lesson plans and all the fun activities each month. The school is very secure and I feel safe sending my babies there. The owners and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Starboard Academy for a year of fun and learning for my toddler/early preschooler. I’m so glad my second baby will also grow and develop here too.

Elyse Kell

Starboard Academy ticks every single box you can think of for a preschool/daycare. It’s Spotless…Kid focused brand new state of the art facility…Exciting Curriculum…Organic Food…and THE MOST friendly staff and teachers you could ever find! I wish there was a place like this when I was a kid. My 2 year old runs through the front door every day shouting “It’s school!” – maybe that doesn’t translate well but she loves it! Knowing how happy she is going every day makes the drop off so much easier because I know she is not only having a blast but also learning so many new things too! In a word this place is MAGICAL!

Kevin McCollem

Starboard Academy has been a life saver for our family. We were relying on a nanny during the worst of the pandemic. Our toddler was doing well but was missing out on socialization. Now that he is at Starboard Academy he is really thriving.

It is a beautiful new facility with the owners onsite managing the team. The staff is excellent. My son is always impatient in the morning to get out to door and go to ‘school’.

The Teacher maintain a log of my son’s activities through out the day. We use an app that allows us to check in on our child and view the log. We also get an email with a summary of his day with lots of pictures. I forward the email to the grandparents every day. They love it.

This is the 3rd early childcare center we have used as a family. It is by far the best one. We were thrilled when our son got accepted.

I strongly recommend it.
