Premier Learning Academy

Our daughter has been at PLA - Chandler for the past year, and we are absolutely devastated that it’s closing. In that time, she has blossomed into such a smart, confident, and joyful little girl. We owe so much of that to the care and love she received at this daycare. We are especially grateful for Miss Sarah, who has been such an important part of our daughter’s growth. From day one, she created a space where our daughter felt safe, encouraged, and so genuinely loved. Miss Sarah’s patience, kindness, and dedication helped her come out of her shell and thrive — socially, emotionally, and intellectually. She truly made a lasting impact, and we’ll never forget her. It’s incredibly sad to see this center close so abruptly. What’s even more disheartening is seeing a few negative reviews that don’t reflect the experience we (and many other families) had here. Our experience was nothing but positive, and we know we’re not alone in that. To the staff and administration at PLA - Chandler: thank you for creating a space filled with heart, care, and growth. You’ve made a lasting difference in our daughter’s life, and we’ll always look back on this year with deep appreciation and love.

My son attended PLA from toddler class all the way through pre-school and pre-K. Previously, we had tried multiple daycare centers in nearby regions, but encountered various situations(not good..) that prompted us to seek out a more suitable environment for him—one where we could find staff who genuinely care for our loved ones. This year, my son graduated from pre-K in Esther's class, and she is amazing in every aspect. Needless to say, all of PLA's staff are fantastic; my son loved them and still remembers their names when reminiscing about the good times he had there. PLA hosts numerous events and activities throughout the year, encouraging parents to come and enjoy time with their children. The most memorable and priceless experience is the graduation ceremony. As parents, you truly witness their growth and learning throughout their journey at PLA. Moreover, PLA records the ceremony for relatives or family members who couldn't attend. I sincerely appreciate PLA's staff and management, and I genuinely feel blessed to have PLA in our community. I highly recommend it to all parents who are searching for the best school for their children

Spring 2019 I toured 15 pre-schools (not an exaggeration) throughout the East valley and a couple in the Phoenix area. I was rather disheartened, the second to last school was PLA. It was a breath of fresh air! 😍 Sending your child to pre-school can be emotionally daunting. As parents we do our best to ensure they are left in good hands and a safe environment where they can learn and socialize. This isn’t JUST a pre-school, it IS family. PLA invests in their teachers and the teachers are truly devoted to their students. From my experience, PLA blends play, STEAM, highscope and Montessori methods. They provide Yoga time, gym time with a toddler sized rock climbing wall, water days, fun dress up days, tasty lunches, station type learning, holiday events and programs, PARENT’S NIGHT OUT and sooo much more! PLA is a magical place I wish I could have attended as a toddler! I commend PLA for the communication and fast acting safety protocols during COVID. They were open the entire time due to their diligence. Because of it, we were able to keep our child’s life “normal” during some rather chaotic years. Unfortunately, some wonderful teachers left during this time to be with their families and some moved to the second PLA location in Queen Creek. PLA didn’t skip a beat in finding more amazing dedicated teachers. PLA has created a beautiful community that is a foundation for our future generations. Ms. Danielle, Ms. Camilla, Ms. Kelsey, Ms. McKenna, Mrs. Esther, Mrs. Janet, Ms. Mikayla, Mrs. Stacey, Mrs. Elana, Mrs. Leora, Mrs. Amanda, Mrs. Mickenzie, Ms. T and Ms. Delilah (I can’t forget the ones that left Mrs. Linny, Mrs. Bri and Mrs. Tori) THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being part of our family and making such an incredible impact on my child’s life. I truly cannot express the gratitude in my heart. My child knows every one of you by name and so many stories are brought home daily. Our journey has ended, but my child will certainly soar thanks to PLA!!!

My daughter just finished pre-k this summer. I'm so grateful for the teachers' love and support for my daughter during her 2 years stay here. Every teacher and staff is welcoming and friendly. It used to be a struggle to send my daughter to school every morning before she came to PLA. We have changed different schools and she would always cry, but she's been very happy since the first day in PLA. Mrs. Danielle is an amazing teacher! She has taught knowledge and manner in a nice and effective way. My daughter loves her so much. I would strongly recommend PLA to all parents!

PLA is more than a school, since the 1st day we truly believe in how prepared they are for this hard work, for us is our extended family. Every teacher, program and class is really amazing and we are very grateful with them for everything. A plus is they have incredible people like Ms Danielle, she help us a lot since the beginning for the transition between Spanish to English but now our daughter is bilingual. This year we are so excited because the advantage in what is coming is awesome, related math, skills, writing, reading but most important personal part is just the result of Ms Esther. Thank you to all the Staff, food is also great and in anything when we were needing help you have a hand for us.
