Meet Ms. Reeta

A home where your child is known, not just watched.

For more than eight years, Ms. Reeta has welcomed Aldie's littlest learners into a calm, joyful home built entirely around them. Every day blends a gentle Montessori approach with hands-on, play-based discovery — so children grow socially, emotionally, and academically at their own pace.

Families stay because they feel it: clean, thoughtful spaces, children who are taught to be kind to one another, and a teacher who sends photos and videos throughout the day so you never miss a milestone. Little ones arrive as babies and leave more than ready for kindergarten.

  • Nurturing & communicative — daily updates, real relationships with every family.
  • Learning that sticks — writing, reading, counting, and confidence.
  • Whole-child care — nutritious meals, potty training, and lots of outdoor play.

A day at Smallhearts

Everything a growing heart needs — under one warm roof.

A gentle rhythm of learning, play, rest and real nourishment, thoughtfully guided from morning drop-off to evening pickup.

Montessori Learning

Child-led, hands-on materials that build early writing, reading, counting and independence — the way little minds learn best.

Play-Based Discovery

Project- and play-based activities that spark curiosity and creativity, with plenty of room to explore and imagine.

Kind Little Community

Children are gently taught to share, take turns, and be kind to one another — the social-emotional roots that last a lifetime.

Nutritious Meals

Breakfast, lunch and healthy snacks are prepared and included every day — no packing, no worry.

Fresh-Air Play

Planned outdoor time and walks to the nearby playground keep bodies busy and afternoons happy.

School-Ready Confidence

By the time they graduate to kindergarten, Smallhearts children are prepared, capable, and excited to learn.

Ms. Reeta runs a loving and engaging daycare from her home. Our oldest has attended since she was 20 months old. She is safe, happy, and loves to see her friends and teachers each day.

We've had a wonderful experience with Ms. Reeta. Our daughter attended for 4 years — safe, nurturing and fun every day. She learned so much and was more than prepared for Kindergarten!
JS Jennifer Scott
We love Ms Reeta! Her daycare is clean, the children are taught to love and be kind to each other, and she uses a Montessori approach. She sends us videos regularly and goes above and beyond.
