About Little Cherub Childcare
Little Cherub Helotes Learning Center
Little Cherub Learning Center has served the Helotes community for over a decade, offering a curriculum rooted in sensory exploration and hands-on learning. Director Pallavi Padala, who holds a Master’s degree in Education and Psychology, leads a team dedicated to fostering social development and kindergarten readiness. The facility features age-specific classrooms where infants follow their own natural schedules, while toddlers and preschoolers engage in structured play, potty training, and early literacy activities. Safety is prioritized through a secure code-entry system and a staff that has undergone complete FBI fingerprinting and background checks. The program supports working families with a 12-hour operating window and includes a full meal program with breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. For older children, the center provides after-school transportation from local schools and a robust summer camp program that includes frequent field trips and science-based projects.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We have been with Little Cherub over the past 2 to 3 years. Time and again they have accommodated us even for very last minute childcare needs. They are reliable and cater to children’s specific needs. We are so fortunate to have found them.
Went to enroll my baby recently and they stated they could only watch her till 4pm not till close at 6pm. They already took my 100 dollar deposit and didn't explain that they only watch babies for 10 hours. I would have loved to have known that sooner as I am a single mom and I work across town. I would have been their by 530pm latest, and I wanted this daycare so my folks could pick her up sooner than 530 possibly by 430 or 5 as my job is demanding and I hardly get off on time. I enrolled her in another daycare that can accommodate me better. I just wish they would have mentioned that before accepting my deposit. Nice people but terrible at giving information. Had I kept her at this place I would have lost my job.
I love Little Cherub! My twins attend and both thrive. They are so well taken care of and loved. One of my twins has CP, with three therapists who visit weekly. Ms. Pallavi and Ms. Usher are always accommodating and quick to update us. My 17 and 14 year old daughters both attended Little Cherub and had same teachers that are there now. My boys adore their teachers just like my girls did.
I am so happy with this daycare! I left for 4 months to another daycare but came back because nobody compares to this one. Teachers are sweet, parents are allowed to see kids in the class when it’s pickup time and there is security before coming into the daycare. Mrs. Karen is such a wonderful teacher and my daughters behavior is something I have never seen but she has learned to be patient, share and very structured. I can’t imagine another daycare and she started when she was only 2. I’m thankful to have found amazing teachers and director for my daughter
We love this daycare! Our daughter has done so well there and loves gonna to school every day. The teachers are great, kind and you can tell they care about the kids.
