  • This school is 1. Not equipped as a school, it’s literally no structure the the classrooms. The owner doesn’t have all eyes on her staff, she’s manipulative and doesn’t like new students coming to her center , her words verbatim. She doesn’t know who her subs are, one of them injured my child and they tried to blame MY child when she’s the one who told me and I allowed her to walk freely from the situation just for her to make my child out to be a bad person. She literally doesn’t care about the struggles of a mother, she references the handbook that was never provided to me. This is not a school, she might as well just run a home daycare . I wouldn’t recommend I can say a lot more about this tacky establishment but this is enough. Black owned doesn’t me properly owned.

  • I really love this daycare. My kids have been going here for about a year and a half now and i just enrolled my 2 month old. I was very hesitant about putting my little baby in daycare but they've helped me through it. I highly recommend

  • I recently put my 5 month old baby at this daycare and I’m loving it. I’m a first time mom and I was very hesitant of putting my baby in a daycare but I need to work. Agape has really made it easy for me and I couldn’t be more grateful. Agape made the transition easy for my baby and I. The owner is very supportive and understandable. They keep track of his millstones and give me updates when they feed,change, and sends me a picture of baby (which I love). I will 100% recommend this daycare! Picture of his first day! Peek his outfit 😂 Gryffindor house 😆

  • I have been an Agape Parent since 2020. After COVID, this was the first daycare I tried for my kids and they love it. The staff are passionate about the kids and make learning fun for them. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in your child’s development as a parent, and the leadership team is flexible to accommodate the unique needs of each family. It’s extremely difficult to find quality childcare, so I am happy to share this experience. I highly recommend Agape/Spark Steam Ahead for any parent looking for safety, knowledge, and a family feel for their babies!

  • I am blessed to find this amazing daycare. My daughter is autistic and daughter and since she has been apart of Agape she has shown tremendous growth I am grateful for the staff and how well they treat my children. Ms. Thompson works with my daughter school teacher to make sure that that all of my baby developmental needs are being covered.Best thing about it is it Christian based.

And is very involved in daily activities My eldest comes home with her homework completely done and is always participating in a fun activity when I arrive. ! I found my daycare home.
