  • If you’re looking for more than a daycare, this is it. From day one, I’ve seen firsthand why Dr. Dorsey says, “This isn’t a daycare—it’s a school for early learners.” That isn’t just a slogan. It’s exactly what they deliver. My son has grown tremendously since attending. I’ve watched him reach milestone after milestone, strengthen his fine motor skills, build confidence, become more engaged, and learn new things every single week. The progress has been incredible to witness. What stands out the most is the level of collaboration. The teachers don’t just watch your child—they truly partner with you. They communicate, share strategies, celebrate victories, and are genuinely invested in each child’s growth and development. They understand that the best outcomes happen when parents and teachers work in tandem, and that partnership has made all the difference for my son. As a parent, trusting someone else with your child isn’t something you take lightly. This team has earned that trust. Every teacher I’ve encountered has shown patience, compassion, professionalism, and a genuine love for children. If you want a place where your child is loved, challenged, encouraged, and given every opportunity to thrive, I wholeheartedly recommend this school. They are building strong foundations for our future little leaders, and I couldn’t be more grateful that my son is one of them.

  • My daughter has been attending Innovative Kids since they opened up about a year ago, and we couldn’t be happier. She absolutely adores her teachers, but what’s really special is how she’s formed bonds with so many different staff—it’s like she has cheerleaders all over the building. I love how they share photos and updates, keeping me engaged with her learning every step of the way. The consistent care and positive atmosphere have made a lasting impact. I wholeheartedly recommend Innovative Kids!”

  • Innovative Kids Early Learning Academy is not a daycare — it’s a phenomenal school that truly cares about the next generation and genuinely believes that children are the future! While training and development start at home, they made the process incredibly seamless through their commitment to our boys. With their support, our children became potty trained and even learned how to walk. Of course, it was a team effort between the staff and my wife and I, but their guidance, patience and consistency made a real difference. What truly sets them apart is their communication. They walked us through every step, kept us informed, and supported us the entire way as our boys continued to grow and develop. That level of partnership is priceless. I absolutely love their everyday commitment, passion and dedication. We are grateful for everything they do and proud to be a part of their community. Thank you for all that you pour into our children!

  • This place is amazing! The learning concepts and styles of teaching are a breath of fresh air! I know several parents who are very pleased with this new establishment. Not sure where these negative comments are coming from but these are not the proper reviews. The staff is wonderful and the children seem to love it here! I've already recommended this daycare to another parent. Please look past any negative reviews and go take a tour of this facility. See it for yourself. I do believe you will be greatly impressed!

  • These negative reviews are all fake and made up by followers of the owners of another center. The owner is pissed that her staff and most of the families that were at that center have moved to Innovative Kids. I am so impressed with my grandson’s progress. He’s 3 and he counts past 20. He counts backwards and he’s even counting in Spanish. He recognizes letters and knows the sounds. I’m saying this to say that the teaching staff is awesome. I have visited the center on several occasions and it’s always a pleasant atmosphere. The children are happy and the parents appear to be happy also. If the owners of the other center spent half the time trying to better their center and get out of their feelings, they wouldn’t have to ask people to degrade what Dr. Dorsey has developed. Get out of your feelings…..it’s all business. What God has for Innovative Kids can’t be destroyed by the naysayers. Ask yourself this…..if the center is what is trying to be portrayed, why is enrollment going up??? Keep moving forward Dr. Dorsey and staff!!

  • My child attends innovative kids and I cannot be any happier. Here at Innovative kids my son comes home counting in Spanish has received gifts and certificates all from his progression. Please do not let the false names and reviews deter you from making the choice of sending your child to Innovative Kids!!!
