As my son begins his journey into kindergarten, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for NDLA1. My son was apart of their wonderful community since he was 3 years old, and the time he spent at NDLA1 is truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and heartfelt Good mornings ,Holas and Have a good day . The care and attention my son received was beyond incredible. We especially loved the fun family projects we got to do every month and all the creative activities. Leaving was an emotional and tearful goodbye, but knowing how well he was taught and trained at NDLA1 made it a little easier. The teaching and learning he experienced with them has truly set him up for success in this next phase. Thank you for everything. I would wholeheartedly recommend NDLA to any family without a moment's hesitation.
MarthaSep 9, 2025My son recently completed Pre-K here and we loved it. The teachers were wonderful along with the rest of the staff.
Paris WhiteAug 14, 2025I really love this all-year-round daycare/ alternative schooling. The staff is caring, compassionate, concerning not only with your babies but, the entire family. I have nothing bad to say only everything great to say.. A perfectly safe place for your babies....
Eunetta EvansJun 11, 2023This daycare is very flexible with ours all the staff is very friendly great place I recommend it highly
Faith DouglasJul 29, 2022I have visited multiple childcare facilities and this NDLA group is absolutely outstanding in the way they care for the children.
Sherry BrownJul 21, 2022I’m giving this a bad review based off of the owners responses alone. I was considering this place but after seeing their response to reviews, I can tell this is ran by bitter, drama filled, confrontational people. Grow up.
