Welcome to our testimonials
At Linda's Little Learners, I believe this is more than just a daycare, it's a calling and a ministry. Every story shared, every lesson taught, and every moment of care is an opportunity to serve the Lord, by loving His children.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me" (Matthew 19:14), and that's exactly what I strive for; Helping little hearts grow in faith, kindness, and confidence. Through Bible lessons, play, and everyday acts of love, I trust God is at work in the small moments that shape young lives.
I am deeply grateful to the families who entrust me with their children. Their kind words and stories inspire me and remind me that this work (caring for children and planting seeds of faith and love) is truly Kingdom work.
Please Note: Some of the testimonials below were shared before I began offering Bible lessons. While not all reflect that part of my program, each one speaks to the love, care, and quality I provide to every child and family at Linda's Little Learners.
Additionally, some testimonials mention my husband Trevor. While I am no longer operating as a large family daycare with Trevor as my full-time assistant, during that time he worked closely alongside me and was an important part of the team. Today, although he works outside the home, Trevor continues to substitute for me when needed, along with my mom and my adult son, all of whom are fully cleared through licensing. Their ongoing support ensures that every child continues to receive consistent, trusted care in a safe and loving environment.

Our son grew by leaps and bounds during his 2.5 years at Linda's Little Learners. He began as a shy little boy but quickly gained confidence, comfort, and countless skills that prepared him beautifully for TK in August 2025. Linda was truly an extension of our family and a steady pillar of support who always took the time to collaborate with us on any challenges or learning opportunities. Her thoughtful approach helped our son thrive both at daycare and at home. We will always be deeply grateful for our time with Linda.

I wish I could tell every local parent about this daycare! When I was brand new to Sacramento, my daughter was three years old, barely talking, not potty trained, and struggling after being asked to leave three other daycares due to biting and meltdowns at drop off.
This daycare welcomed her with open arms and gave her the one-on-one attention she needed. Within just a few weeks, she was potty trained, talking more, and happily interacting with other kids. The environment felt more like a family than just a daycare, and we always felt supported.
I was honestly sad when my daughter aged out because of how much this place meant to us. I can't recommend them highly enough!

My son attended Linda's Daycare for 1.5 years, and it was truly wonderful. Linda and Trevor were amazing with him, even though he cried at every single drop-off. Despite the rough mornings, he was always so happy at pick-up and often wanted to stay longer!
We had a terrible experience with a previous in-home daycare, so we were nervous at first. But Linda was so patient with all our questions during the walk-through before we signed up, and both she and Trevor quickly proved how dependable and caring they are.
We only left because our son started kindergarten. I highly recommend Linda's Daycare to any parent looking for a safe, reliable, and loving place for their child!

I am honored to write this letter of recommendation for Linda's Little Learners Child Care. My two children have been in Linda's care for the past few years, and the experience has been truly transformative for our family.

Under Linda's guidance, my children have grown emotionally, socially, and academically. She creates engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence, while also instilling values of respect, empathy, and gratitude. Her communication with parents is thoughtful and consistent, and I've always felt reassured knowing my children are in such loving hands.
Linda's Little Learners is more than just a place for child care- it's a place where children are truly seen, loved, and encouraged to flourish. I am deeply grateful for the role Linda has played in my children's early years, and I recommend her care with the highest confidence and appreciation.

Linda provided the absolute best care for my toddler. Not only was she loving, caring and inviting, she and her program helped get my toddler ready for big kid school through her curriculum. Linda also worked with us as we identified an allergy my son had and was so nurturing and patient with the situation. Linda and her family are wonderful caregivers.

Let's face it. It is very hard to leave your child with someone else, especially when you come from early childhood education and criminal justice backgrounds. We can say with all honesty that we did not worry about our son's safety or well-being one time or wonder if he was in good hands. It is priceless to have that peace of mind. Linda is trustworthy, professional, reliable, attentive, caring, courteous, organized, and she truly does care about the well-being of the children and families. She is also very effective at keeping the lines of communication open, which is key to avoiding miscommunications or misunderstandings.
Linda is also a very active provider. Your child will not be parked in front of the television all day watching videos or playing video games. The children have plenty of time to play outside and do inside activities/crafts. Although our son wasn't preschool age, she still allowed him to participate in circle time. We found great value in the fact that he was being exposed to learning experiences at such a young age. He was only 14 months old and was trying to sing his ABC's and Wheels on the Bus!
We highly recommend Linda as a childcare provider. Between both of our children, we went through six different providers over the course of four years. We can honestly say that Linda has exceeded our expectations on every level. We will miss her and we know that our son will miss Linda and his friends. We have the opportunity to care for our son at home now, but we know without a shadow of a doubt that if we ever found ourselves in a position where we needed a provider for our son again, we would rejoin the Linda's Little Learners family without any hesitation!
We consider ourselves blessed that we have met Linda. She will always be dear to our hearts and will always be considered family to us.

Thanks so much for taking such great care of Allison when I couldn't be there. I appreciate everything you have done for us and especially her. She loves being there and I am sad to be leaving. I hope you know that it is for no other reason than to help out family. You always have treated her as if she was your own. Don't worry we will use your care anytime we can and will stop by for visits as we have made friends for life.
Love,

My son started with Linda when he was just 6 months old. We came from a daycare experience that was not the best, so I made sure in choosing a new daycare to ask lots of questions and interview several providers. I am confident we made the right choice for several reasons. Every morning when we came to the door, my son was so happy to see Linda. He was a pretty shy baby, so it spoke volumes when he greeted Linda with a huge smile. In the first 4-5 weeks, Linda took the time each night to e-mail me his daily schedule. It made me feel so much better about leaving him, knowing what he was doing each day. When he was just shy of 2yrs old, he had learned so much from the activities they do there. He was counting to 15, knew all of his colors, body parts, animals and learned to say please and thank you. We credit a large part of his development to Linda's care. She is patient and loving and we would recommend her hands down! Linda is more than a daycare provider, she is a loving Mother who treated my son like her own and we are truly grateful to have found her.

It is very hard to drop your children off every day, and not be with them yourself. However, being able to drop our kids off with Linda made it much easier! My boys looked forward to seeing Linda and their friends every day, and usually didn't want to come home at night. When we first started with Linda, I only had one child. She provided us with a daily accounting of my son's activities and meals, which really helped ease us into a new place. Once we got settled, Linda maintained the communication lines through text and email, helping to ensure that my husband and I always knew of any issues or problems that might have come up. We found Linda to strike the right balance between a care giver and a teacher. We had no hesitation placing our second child in her care after his birth. Our kids were COMFORTABLE, LOVED and were LEARNING. What more could you ask for?

Linda is THE BEST, and my kids thrived in Linda's care.
I found Linda on Craigslist by accident and it turned out to be one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. I remember the first day I took Josie to Linda's house, Josie was a tiny 3 1/2 month old! Linda treated my kids as one of her own and I never for a moment doubted that my kids were in a place where they were loved and well cared for. As the years went on, Linda also became our family photographer - no small thing, but since she has a magic touch with my kids and can get them to cooperate and listen during photo sessions, it was a no brainer. Our journey took us to a new school with new friends, but Linda will always have a special place in our hearts. Linda, we love you!
