Got emotional picking my baby up from daycare today this was his last day attending Fundamental Academy due to transferring to another center Ms. Lisa welcomed us with open arms and gave my baby the love and care he needed while I worked taught him so much 😩 I’m really going to miss the entire staff they’re all amazing teachers I’m praying this new daycare gives my baby the same love and care as they did 🥹💖 thank you Mrs. Lisa Ms. Ari Ms. Dee and Ms. Bianca we are going to miss you all 🫶🏼
Armandi MaloneAug 28, 2025I was introduced to Fundamentals of Learning by a colleague, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful this daycare is for children. It truly offers an incredible combination of fun and education that captivates every child’s attention. The activities during circle time are engaging and thoughtfully designed to foster a love for learning right from the start. The learning environment at Fundamentals of Learning is exceptional. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it feel like a second home for the kids. One of my personal highlights is the nap time; the children are given a peaceful space to rest, which is so important for their development. The teaching staff, along with the dedicated assistants, are committed and nurturing. Mrs. Lisa, the owner, is especially fantastic. She has been incredibly understanding and flexible with me regarding payments, which has eased my mind during times when I’ve faced challenges. Additionally, the meals provided are nutritious and well-balanced, ensuring the kids receive the fuel they need for their daily activities. They even host holiday parties that create a sense of community and joy among the children and their families. Overall, Fundamental of Learning is more than just a daycare; it’s a wonderful community that prioritizes the well-being and growth of every child. 😍
Ebony FosterFeb 7, 2025This is a Wonderful daycare center. My kids love it here so far. The staff are friendly and have a schedule in place for each age level. The center is always clean and they feed the children healthy, balanced meals. My kids always have good things to tell me upon pick up. The other children that Attend the daycare are so well mannered and the environment is almost always peaceful and quiet.
Anita BakerJun 8, 2022This daycare is amazing! The staff is extremely friendly and professional. My son looks forward to going there every day. Also, for the parents whose kids are new to daycare, you need not worry, for your kids will be safe and secure there. Kids will quickly adjust, as the staff will lovingly reassure them every day. It’s a relief to me as a mother to know that when I drop my 3-year-old son off every morning, he will be well taken care of. The teachers and director really have a lot of love for our children, and that matters so much. Also, I'm very impressed with how clean this daycare is. I give this center a 10!
Rosie 81Mar 9, 2022I am completely satisfied with Fundamentals!! The staff is wonderful, the center and programs are absolutely amazing! I have 2 grandchildren in the center and i am more then impressed with everything- The library for the kids is an added touch that made me sign my children up. Mrs. Lisa(Director) is very nice,professional and understanding when it comes to the children and parents needs.
Ada HavardDec 25, 2021Highly recommend! The facility is spotless, and Ms. Lisa and staff are so professional. They definitely have the children's best interests first and foremost. So many activities for the kids!
