  • We LOVE Pre K Preparatory Learning Academy!! I was initially nervous about leaving my 2 year old in daycare being that he has separation anxiety and had never been, but everyone here from the director, office personnel, and classroom teachers helped to make it a very smooth transition for my son and I. He adjusted so quickly, which speaks volumes about how they genuinely love and care for the kiddos as their own. 🥰🥰 Thanks a million!!!

  • This daycare did not work for us. On several occasions I picked up my son he was drenched in sweat from being outside and had so many mosquito bites. I provided bug spray but not sure if it was ever used. I also would see teachers on their phones not interacting with children outside. The center itself was hot and stuffy and their seemed to be too many kids in his class, I felt like he was lost in the mix. He did not like going there and would cry the night before. After changing to a new place he never cries about going to school it was night and day difference in his response to going to school. The openess of the classroom to the main entrance that leads outside made me nervous thinking he could easily get out since there was no classroom door. Maybe things are better now since they were changing teachers in his room but for me it was not a good fit for us and the teachers appeared too relaxed and inattentive to be dealing with small children.

  • A great woman leads this daycare with love, compassion and kindness that the world is in short supply of. If you are considering bringing your kids here, nothing is guaranteed and every one is going to have their bad days. But my family and I have experienced first hand that this daycare cares about everything they do.

  • My baby receives the best most genuine love and care at this daycare!! As a single mother I receive support, reassurance, guidance, a peace of mind that my baby’s in amazing hands and even helpful resources. My baby was carried in through doors and now he walks out smiling talking and singing. From the love in the food he receives to the cute activities he participates in I’m glad that my baby has extended family through Pre K Preparatory Learning Academy 10/10 recommend!!

  • I would highly recommend this school for anyone looking to get their kids the best care. My son stayed there for over a year, he enjoyed every day of it. Sending him to this daycare was our best decision, we moved to another state but still miss this school. Teachers are very caring, they take care of kids like their own. Management is awesome.
