I’m not surprised! We had all 3 of our Little Rascals at Miss Tara’s and short of cooking dinner and driving the car, they have come out well ahead of the curve!!!!!
I would like to thank all of our friends & families for making Miss Tara’s Little Rascals the
#1 Day Care on Long Island.
I Love Miss Tara’s Little Rascals. My daugther has been going there for 2 years and has learned so much. Thanks to the wonderful loving and caring staff and Miss.Tara I have a worry free work day. I wish she could attend forever.
Am not surprised either. Tara is creative, talented and has the biggest heart. I am sure that spills over into the care of her Little Rascals.
Once again it doesn’t suprise me that Miss.Tara’s Little Rascals is number one. My daugther is in her last year there and doesn’t want to leave and go to kindergarten (although she is above and beyond ready due to her teachers great teaching) because she loves Tara so much as well as all the staff. Tara and everyone has become our second family. All the teachers know all the children by name and always make everyday special. Tara has the best staff they all have warm and caring hearts and I couldn’t recommend a better day anywhere. WE LOVE MISS.TARA’S LITTLE RASCALS!!!!!!
