Parent Testimonial’s


Kapua Leslie

“My daughter Leina was at Precious Little Ones for three years. Precious Little Ones is  an awesome daycare .  It was such a blessing to see my daughter grow and have a love of learning in a safe and nurturing environment with kindness and compassion. My Ohana is forever grateful for Lori and her family. “


Rhonda Coffeen

“I found auntie Lori (Precious little ones) through Patch. We have no family on island and he is my only child. I was so nervous to put him in daycare but she was an absolute blessing to us.  Canon loved her so much and I felt no fear leaving him in her care.  I honestly do not know what we would have done without her. She did so much for us and really helped raise canon in his young years. We are forever grateful for her love and care of Canon.”

“I visited multiple daycares before deciding on Lori at Precious Little Ones for my daughter.  It was honestly the only place of them all that I trusted and felt would help Remi continue to grow in the ways that mattered most to my family.  Lori isn’t just watching the kids; she is enhancing their growth through education, crafts, social interactions, routine, play time, and so much more.  She is patient and kind, and she really cares about the kids and their families.  Remi attended for two years and I would recommend Lori to anyone.  My daughter has been out of daycare for two years now, and she still speaks fondly of her time with Auntie Lori.  :) “

“I highly recommend Lori Tanicala of Precious Little Ones as both a daycare provider and preschool teacher. Both my daughter and my son attended Lori’s childcare, and I’m so grateful they had such a loving, nurturing foundation. From the very beginning, I was at ease knowing my children were in Lori’s care. She is kind, warm, and attentive, while also providing a structured, educational environment. Lori goes well beyond typical daycare as she includes preschool-level learning, weekly letter lessons, creative activities, and emotional development in the daily routine. When one of my children was having difficulty, Lori dedicated a full day to helping the kids understand and talk about their feelings. Lori communicates clearly, holds high standards for health and behavior, and treats every child with genuine love and respect. Even now that my kids are older, she checks in on my kids, which shows how deeply she cares. Additionally, Lori was someone I often turned to for parenting advice. Her guidance was always thoughtful and helpful, and it made a real difference for our family. The kids she cares for become a true community, and so do the families. I often recommend Lori to other parents because it’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, dedicated, and loving. My children thrived with Lori, and she was an imperative part of their lives as they have grown into well-adjusted elementary school students and citizens”
