Miss Amanda is such a treat of a teacher and a huge blessing to our younger community! Our little one absolutely adores her! Not only is she sweet, kind and approachable, she also has unlimited amount of patience for every little being. We love running into her out in the big world and seeing our little one light up!

We so grateful for the incredible care and attention Miss Amanda has shown our son when he started preschool at the age of two. From day one, she created a warm and welcoming environment that allowed him to thrive. Her patience, kindness, and creativity have made such a positive impact on his development. Not only does she foster a love for learning, but she also builds strong, trusting relationships with each child.

We have known Amanda for over 4 years and she has taught two of our children in preschool, multiple years. She is so creative with children's activities and providing an array of experiences for her students to develop important academic and social skills. She is professional and her kindness is felt. I am so excited to see her pour her talents into her very own school.

I am thrilled to have my daughter attending little blooms preschool. It has been such a blessing for my family. Amanda is the absolute best and has been so caring, kind & sweet. She has made it such a welcoming, fun, safe and enjoyable learning environment. I appreciate little blooms being so attentive and responsive to every child’s needs and developement so that they have the tools to thrive.

Miss Amanda is an absolute blessing! My son started daycare at the very young age of two years old, as any parent who puts their child in daycare at this age knows - it is a big leap of faith! Amanda has played such an important role in my son's life over the last 3+ years. She has been nothing but a positive figure who has helped him develop his deep love of learning.

It’s so good to see Little Blooms Preschool opening up in Grass Valley! Miss Amanda, the owner, directed the Wild Ducks & Duckies program where she worked with my son when he started attending at the age of 2. I was very pleased to see the clean facilities and a curriculum implemented, making the transition to TK (age 4) extremely fluid for him.

My kids love Amanda and her family! Amanda is so great with children, keeps the classroom safe, and is well organized! I’m pretty sure nothing rattles her - she is such a blessing to have as our kids daycare teacher!

It has been such a pleasure to work alongside Amanda! She is an incredibly patient and dedicated teacher. Amanda creates a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels supported. Her passion for teaching/directing shines through everything she does!!

Miss Amanda is absolutely amazing! We were new to the area and she welcomed us with opened arms and was always helpful and kind. My son went through a struggle phase and she helped him, held faith, held patience and was always so good about communication with the parents and the kids. Miss Amanda is an all star!

My son was only 2 1/2 when he started preschool and I was really nervous leaving him. Miss Amanda went out of her way to send me pictures to show me how much fun he was having and how well he was adjusting. And that was just the beginning! She is patient and kind and my son talks about her all the time. We couldn’t have asked for a better environment than the one she provided!

Miss Amanda has made a truly positive impact on all of my children. She has been an amazing preschool teacher to my little ones for the past 3 years, all of them absolutely adore her. Miss Amanda’s patience and compassion shine through in everything she does, and it’s clear she makes a real difference in the lives of the children she cares for. We feel so lucky to have had her as a part of our kids early learning journey!

When my son first started preschool I was really nervous, but the first thing he did after his first day was tell me how much he loved Mrs. Amanda. I felt so relieved to be able to leave my son with such a kind and caring teacher. She is really involved with the kids and you can just see how passionate she is about her job. We have been so lucky to have her in our lives the last 3 years. She truly is the best and I am so grateful for her!

Miss Amanda is the absolute best! My daughter started with her when she was 2.5 years old and had such a hard time going to daycare but thanks to Miss Amanda she settled in quickly and felt comfortable in no time. I am so grateful to Miss Amanda and very thankful that my daughter was able to have her as her teacher.

Miss Amanda is one of the most kind, caring & nurturing teacher we have had the pleasure of working with. My daughter was with her for years and doesn’t connect well with other adults easily. My daughter absolutely adores her and feels so safe, comfortable, and happy around her. We all look at her as part of the family now. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Amanda was my daughter’s first preschool teacher when she was only two years old. She had a speech delay so I was very nervous leaving her anywhere without me. I enrolled her for peer interaction and help with speech. Amanda immediately made me feel comfortable and was so attentive to my daughter. She always did fun crafts and art with the kids and was so sweet to me every pick up and drop off by filling me in on my daughter’s day.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Amanda DePew both personally and professionally, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most extraordinary educators I’ve ever met. During my time working with her, she demonstrated an unmatched ability to lead with kindness, compassion, and creativity. Her natural gift for teaching children is truly remarkable. Amanda has an incredible way of connecting with children, making each one feel seen, valued and loved.

Amanda has been an amazing contributor to the lives of my children. Her dedication to their care, as well as every child under her supervision is commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in search of high-quality childcare. She fosters an environment filled with love and joy which positively impacts all the children she serves.

Absolutely amazing. Extremely thankful for the hands on and how she treated each one of my girls like her own! She still checks up on my daughters even though they went on to kindergarten. The staff is friendly, sweet, careful, and supportive.

Amanda and her team are simply the best! We have had the joy of being at Little Blooms since they opened! I can't thank them enough for helping our daughter thrive! It's so nice having a safe place for our daughter to go and know she is loved! So thankful for this AMAZING preschool!

My son has been going here for 9 months and absolutely loves it. There is a loving family vibe at this daycare and it makes me feel secure leaving my son there. My son was 18 months when he started and is a total mommy's boy and bad with new people so I was really nervous about the transition. One of the employees came and babysat for us the week before he started so he'd feel safe. That made all the difference. My son smoothly transitioned in. The kids play lots of games, crafts, sing, dance, get breakfast, lunch, and snack, and the toys rotate.

I'm so grateful we found Little Blooms! Our kiddo loves coming here every day, and she talks about all of her teachers all the time. Between the thoughtful lessons, the beautiful house & playground, the meals and snacks, the excellent communication, and the fair prices, we would already be lucky, but on top of all that, Amanda and her teachers set an example of kindness in everything they do. It's a joy to have Little Blooms make up such a big part of my kiddo's childhood.My son was 18 months when he started and is a total mommy's boy and bad with new people so I was really nervous about the transition.

Our kiddo went to little blooms before he started school and loved it. They facilitated his learning so well, with different types of toys, different types of play and fun themed weeks over summer. The owner, Amanda, takes child development seriously and continues to learn and take classes as to best provide for the kids. All of the staff were lovely and so patient and kind to our child. Often when I'd pick him up he'd be having a dance party which was so cute. Thank you little blooms!

I would put 100 stars if i could. My children started as one of the first families to attend little blooms. Right away i knew this was a place they would feel safe and want to come back to. I have loved watching them grow into such a creative fun environment as they expand and blossom into the carfuly curated and exeptional preschool that they are today. Amanda puts so much thought into the day to day for the kiddos from what they eat to changing up the themes of the classroom and of course carries a deep attentivness to the needs of children. We have always felt safe welcome and heard from day one.

Love this school and so does my 3 year old. Couldn't recommend enough!

Teacher Amanda and her team run the most professional, well-organized, and welcoming preschool in the GV/NC area! I cannot say enough positive about our experience with Little Blooms. She finds the right balance between Montessori-ish teaching and traditional preschool. Tasty meals and snacks are provided for the kids. Flexible hours are offered (oh, and they actually operate on Fridays!). One thing we find extra beneficial is that it's a home but just dedicated for the school (the teacher/owner doesn't also live here). It's been thoughtfully outfitted with all the kiddo infrastructure and even toddler-sized potties. Thus, it has the warmth of a home but the utility/safety of a great preschool! And the pricing is totally fair. But most of all, the teachers are all just amazing. If you are lucky enough to get your little one in here, you'll be very thankful!

Little Blooms is a wonderful Preschool with kind and engaging staff who are considerate of our kiddos. They are always welcoming and provide a safe learning environment!
