Martina and Alex are wonderful instructors. We could not have survived this pandemic without their support, love, and instruction. They make everything so easy and my daughter loved going there. In fact, she still does the occasional drop-in when her schedule allows.

Martina really helped our daughter with reading and meeting kinder benchmarks. She helped her with her confidence to blend words and has made learning fun. Martina has her doctorate in education and was a former teacher so I trust her very much. On top of that she serves the kids healthy lunches and snacks, she is silly, fun, and artistic.

Alex is a wonderful math and piano teacher. He keeps the kids laughing and I loved hearing all the Alex stories at the end of the day. Alex and Martina are amazing care givers and human beings. I highly recommend Uptown Little Birds!

There are not enough words to express how fortunate we are to have found Uptown Little Birds Micro School and Day Care. Martina and Alex treat my children as if they were their own. The care they provide for our children exceeds our expectations.

My children are happy to go to school every morning and they are happy when we pick them up.

Alex is organized, warm, and welcoming. Martina puts forth all her effort so that our children maintain our values and cultural traditions. Alex and Martina have been of great support to our family! I couldn’t have found a better place for my children. Uptown Little Birds Micro School and Day Care is the best!

Amazing experience for both myself and my son. We couldn’t ask for more. Teacher Martina and Alex have been such an amazing influence for my child, and have taught him so much. They are able to provide individualized support and teachings.
