The early years daycare provides developmentally appropriate classroom activities for kids of all ages. I’ve had many positive experiences with the staff and the administration with accommodations for children in the classroom. I would highly recommend this daycare center.
Debra BiekertFeb 27, 2026My grandchildren attend The Early years and we couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. I have seen so much progress in my grandchildren’s development we couldn’t be more proud. We have had nothing but amazing care since coming to The Early Years. The staff are so kind, welcoming, and always go above and beyond to update you on your child’s progress. It is so heartwarming to see them as excited and invested in your child’s development as you are. I highly recommend The Early Years to anyone who is looking for Outstanding care for their child/children!
Elizabeth ReuleckeSep 11, 2025We couldn’t be more happier with our experience at The Early Years. We have felt nothing but welcomed and supported since arriving. The staff has been nothing but attentive and nurturing to our children. Their communication is great! We get regular updates and photos through out the day, which gives us peace of mind. We are so happy we found The Early Years for our children to attend. We highly recommend The Early Years to anyone who is looking for not only a fun environment, but supportive and nurturing as well!
Cayne JohnsonSep 10, 2025I use to love this daycare and then they got a new director and staff. If I could give them 0 stars I would. I don't know where they hire their staff. A few times I was picking up my kid and the teacher turned to the 3 year olds and said, "Did I only have 3 of you?" I'm thinking you don't know, not a good sign. My kid got a bad road rash and concussion once. His road rash was so bad, it looked like someone dragged him on the ground. They were never able to tell me exactly what happened. That wasn't the only time my kid was injured and nobody knew what happened. Once they managed for my kid to eat food that he is allergic to, lucky it wasn't enough to effect him. They also don't work on potty training. The last weekday prior to a holiday they close at noon like the 4th, which is crazy since for most that's still a workday. Plus they don't say anything about closures until the day before. They also act like they can't tell you some accept through the app. Do yourself a favor and don't send your kid here. Your child deserves better. P.S. The teachers and students in the pictures on their website aren't real the classrooms don't look like that.
Elise JordanJul 12, 2024My son has been going to the Early Years daycare for about 3 months now and, although it was an adjustment at first, I'm proud to say he has fully adapted to the new environment and is loving it. The classrooms are diverse and the teachers are very kind. Since enrolling him in the Early years, I've noticed his speech and social skills improve dramatically.
Destiny BeasleyOct 3, 2023It is such a relief to have a safe and fun place for our children to go during the day. They have a great curriculum and our kids are always learning something new. We love The Early Years!
