I love the staff I have a 1 year old daughter who loves the teachers her two favorite teachers are Mrs.Darlita and Ms.Wanda I will recommend this center to my friends who are looking for a center for their kids.
Jeremy BriceJul 17, 2026Waiting on a nearby appt and couldn't believe this facility had near 10 little kids/toddlers outside in the back play area while the city is covered in noxious smoke besides temps in the 90s. Plenty of serious warnings provided that this affects everyone. If you can see it and smell it, you're breathing noxious damaging fumes. This went on for at least 30min but obviously started before my arrival. These little kids know no better and trust the adults caring for them. They deserve better so I'm sharing this information in case parents with kids there are not aware. Adding in this edit due to the straight up lie this facility made with their response. This was approx 4pm to 430pm at the hottest and smokiest part of that day...not the morning. I literally talked about this with the neighbor of the daycare as it was so unnerving. I'm not about to walk into your facility to confront you. You all should know better being in the business you're in. Adding a review here serves the purpose of putting both you and parents on notice. Next time I'll just call city services to look into your daycare. Do better.
Hop HeadJul 17, 2026If you are a first time mom and looking for a daycare. I will recommend here! The staff is great! Ms. Darlita- teacher is so good with my child, I have seen so much growth within the last 4 months. The director, Ms.Michelle is so warm welcoming. Ms. Wanda and Mr. Andre are always so welcoming and supportive. Great child care center!
Kayla HowardDec 12, 2025My baby loves this daycare center , as a first time mom i was so anxious about finding the right place for my child but they have yet to dissapoint me. I feel confident knowing my child is safe, learning, and getting the same love and attention she has at home.❤️
Anaya JohnsomOct 1, 2025Joyful Learning Center is a good daycare. My children have been going there for a little over a year. The staff is very pleasant and build relationships with families. My children have learned so much since starting there.
Chrishelle AlferezOct 1, 2025Joyful Learning Center is the best daycare ever! As soon as I walked in there and met the director, Ms. Michelle, I felt comfortable to leave my baby there. The owner, Mr. Andre, is so friendly and has a great relationship with all the families. The teachers, Ms. Darlita and Ms. Wanda, are so kind and nurturing. If you are looking for a close knit, family oriented daycare this is the daycare for your child and family!
