It Was A Blessing And Honored To Work With Them
Dymond FordFeb 6, 2026Our son attended this school for 2 years until he started school in CPS. During his time at PCEL he had a great experience. He enjoyed gym, music,Spanish and so much more. We absolutely love the fact that they love the kids and work like a family. Our son still loves to visit when his school is out. The staff is absolutely amazing which is why they are always full. If you are looking for a school get on the wait list now. We love Ms Rhabi and Ms Kelsy so much
Bianca TMay 6, 2024Terrible Communication. Despite the fact that I called regularly, (bi weekly) it took the directors 3 weeks to inform me that they would not be accepting my 4 yr old due to rough transitions between activities during a half day visit. My son currently attends Bright Horizons. Bright Horizons has not once mentioned transition issues. Regardless, a call back is basic customer service. 1 star for blowing me off, or being too disorganized to conduct a 5 min phone call.
Sterling NeelyAug 17, 2023I can't say enough great things about PCEL!! My daughter has flourished so much since going there. The management and staff are very understanding, and treat your kids like their own. Mrs. Kelsy, Mrs. Rhabi, and my daughter's classroom teachers made me feel VERY welcomed, and it immediately felt like a family. My daughter learns a lot, and has fun while doing it (which is exactly the balance I wanted for her). They also send you pictures of your child so you can get updates - which provides some peace of mind, and it's so nice to see the great activities and lessons your child is learning. It's hard to find a great place to trust with your child, but this place is truly a GREAT place with loving staff!
Brandi D.Aug 2, 2023We love the PCEL family! My son is four years-old and will be there until he starts kindergarten. We joined the PCEL family when my son was between 1-2 years-old. We've loved every moment. The teachers and leadership are so caring! The kids' days are filled with fun and educational activities - crafts, music, art, spelling, math, writing. My son knows all his letters, can spell and write his name, and can count to 100. I love that they share pictures, so I get to see what my son is doing with his friends throughout the day. The teachers and leadership truly create a loving environment as well, which is very important to me. I feel like I'm dropping my son off with family and that makes me so happy. The teachers know how to hold the kids accountable for their actions as well, but through kindness. The teachers and leadership also go out of their way to get to know parents and to support them, which I truly appreciate. The kids at PCEL are so sweet as well! They are always giving each other hugs and showing lots of love to each other. As a solo mom, it's been important for me to create a village for my son, and I'm beyond thankful for the village we have at PCEL. THANK YOU to the entire team!! We parents appreciate you soooo much! Love, Andrew and Jai.
Jai KenseyMar 14, 2023Our second child is currently enrolled at PCEL, and we couldn't be happier. The staff is SO friendly, and we have seen very little turnover compared to other preschools/daycare. Rhabi and Kelsey are dedicated directors of the facility who go out of their way to make families feel welcome. We love the community, the teachers, the activities, and all our child's new friends!
