“Our autistic daughter benefits most from patience, understanding, and consistency—and the faculty at Little Lambs delivers all three every day. The teachers and staff truly see her as an individual, not a diagnosis, and they meet her where she is while gently encouraging her growth.”
“Our family has been part of Little Lambs for years, and we truly cannot say enough good things about it. It has been such a gift to our family. The staff is wonderful, and every morning I hear teachers greeting my children by name, even those who have never taught them. Both of my children have grown socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually, and have always felt safe, known, and loved. My daughter still attends the summer camp when her elementary school is closed, which speaks volumes about how special Little Lambs truly is. We are so grateful to be part of this community.”

“We are incredibly grateful for St. Barnabas and Little Lambs for the care they provide to our daughter. As a child with autism, she benefits most from patience, understanding, and consistency—and the faculty at Little Lambs delivers all three every day. The teachers and staff truly see her as an individual, not a diagnosis, and they meet her where she is while gently encouraging her growth.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and supported as a family. Communication is thoughtful and transparent, and it’s clear how much intention goes into creating an inclusive, nurturing environment for all children. We’ve watched our daughter gain confidence, social skills, and a genuine love for learning because of the compassion and dedication of the staff.
We could not ask for a better place for her to learn, grow, and feel safe. St. Barnabas and Little Lambs have made a meaningful difference in our child’s life, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any family seeking a truly caring and inclusive early education experience.”

“Little Lambs has been so good to us! Tera, Morgan, and the MDO staff have become like family. My children LOVE to go to school. Every morning they are greeted with the friendliest smiles and practically jump out of our car with excitement to get to play with their friends. They’ve learned how to work with others, listen to authority, and have grown in their relationship with Jesus. Only positive and wonderful things to say about this special place!”

“Finding Little Lambs Mother’s Day Out truly felt like more than a chance!! It felt like God’s hand at work. On the very day I was supposed to register my three-year-old elsewhere, I was caring for the director while she was in labor, and that moment unexpectedly led us to Little Lambs. It has been such a blessing to our family. My daughter, Sophie, absolutely loves her teachers, is excited and happy to go to school each day, and I have complete peace knowing she is safe, loved, and well cared for in a nurturing, faith-filled environment. We are so grateful for Little Lambs and the positive impact it has had on our daughter and our family!”

“Both of my littles attended Little Lambs until it was time for ‘big kid school’, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The environment and staff were always so caring and you knew that your babies were so well cared for while they were there. They kept them busy with fun activities throughout the year so they were always so happy to go to ‘school’. I will forever be grateful to Little Lambs for taking care of my babies!”

“My children (4 and 2) joined Little Lambs MDO a year ago and we couldn’t be happier! The curriculum is educational, creative and lots of fun. Various events and themed days are planned; our favorite is the Teddy Bear Tea Party! Every teacher is kind, patient, loving and genuinely cares. A huge benefit is the level of communication I receive throughout the day. I know my children’s activities, meals, etc and can communicate directly with the staff if I need.
The first thing my children ask after waking up is “Can we go to school today, Mama?” That’s how you know you found somewhere special!”

“Our experience with the St. Barnabas Little Lambs MDO program has been truly wonderful. Communication between our family and the administration has always been clear, consistent, and supportive, which has given us so much confidence as parents. Since starting the program, our daughter has overcome her initial separation fears, expanded her vocabulary, and blossomed socially and emotionally.
Because of such a positive experience, we did not hesitate to enroll our younger son as well. He is already showing new skills and growth. It’s been so reassuring to see both of our children thrive in such a nurturing and encouraging environment. We are incredibly grateful for the caring staff and the positive impact this program has had on our ”

“Little Lambs has been one of the biggest blessings for our family! The timeframe that our son is there is perfect for us, and we never have a single worry while he is there! We’ve seen our son blossom in all aspects of development: social, emotional, fine motor skills.. he knows colors and songs and uses his manners at 2 years old; he is always surprising us with what he knows! Every single teacher knows our baby, even when he’s never been in their classroom. Communication is clear and easy. We have zero complaints, and wish our son could stay there forever!”

“We toured several daycares before deciding on Little Lambs when we moved back to Lafayette, and we’re so thankful we made that choice. The teachers and staff clearly love children and truly love what they do, which makes it a little easier dropping our kids off each day knowing they’re in such good hands.
Not only do our children have fun at Little Lambs, but they learn so much while doing it. My oldest was incredibly well-prepared when he entered Pre-K3, and my youngest constantly surprises me with the things she’s learned at school. We’re grateful to still have two more years at Little Lambs, and my oldest already can’t wait to go back this summer.”
Charlotte Carleton
“As a parent, I entrust my greatest blessings to the staff at Little Lambs every day, and I am grateful for the loving care and guidance that they have given both of my children. The teachers and directors look at each child as an individual, with their own strengths and needs. My children have been blessed with awesome teachers who understand their challenges, and handle them with grace. My children have learned so much and continues to share with me the great activities that go on each day. Thank you to the staff at Little Lambs for an incredible early childhood curriculum that engages and teaches at all steps of the day.”

“St. Barnabas Little Lambs Mother’s Day Out has had an incredible impact on my son’s life. The staff is compassionate, attentive, and wonderfully accommodating of his visual impairment and Albinism. They take the time to know every child by name, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I’m so thankful for them and highly recommend this program.”
Megan Boudreaux
“Our experience with Little Lambs at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church was truly exceptional!! My daughter began attending at nine months old and stayed until she was almost two. From the very beginning, we felt completely at peace leaving her in their care. The communication was outstanding!!!! It was detailed, thoughtful, and consistent. Whether it was updates about diaper changes, nap times, or important health notifications, we were always informed and never left wondering how her day went.
The teachers created such a loving and nurturing environment, and it showed in how happy and comfortable my daughter was each day. Little Lambs is a special place, and we are so grateful for the time our daughter spent there.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Little Lambs Mother’s Day Out. When my son was previously enrolled in a Mother’s Day Out program elsewhere, we experienced some very serious issues involving mistreatment and a lack of professionalism. We did report the situation, but the impact on my child was already significant. My son developed severe anxiety about school to the point that he would cry, become physically ill, and vomit at the thought of going to daycare. Out of deep concern for his emotional well being and his future in a school environment, I enrolled him at Little Lambs because I already knew and trusted many of the teachers there.
The change was almost immediate. Within days, my son went from crying and making himself sick to avoid school to asking to go on days when they were not even in session. My son truly thrived at Little Lambs, and that is entirely due to the patience, understanding, compassion, and genuine love the staff shows their children. They created a safe and nurturing environment where he could heal, grow, and feel secure again.
I will always be grateful to the teachers and staff for helping restore my child’s confidence and joy. I cannot recommend Little Lambs enough.”

“Little Lambs is the best Mother’s Day Out! Everything they do is for the children. They go above and beyond with the love, care, and education they provide the kids with. They also focus on teaching about Jesus and as a Christian that is very important to me. My son had the best experience at Little Lambs. He came out of his shell and was ready for kindergarten. My older kids also enjoy the summer camp. I absolutely recommend putting your babies at Little Lambs!”
