  • All three of my grandchildren have been going here for a few years now. Two are off to elementary school but they still talk about their experiences there and all their friends they made and their teachers they miss. Highly recommend.

  • all three of my boys have gone here two of mine have graduated already from turtle house being there since they were three and four and now moved onto kindergarten and first grade I cannot explain how great the teachers are and how amazing the learning is and how much my kids have taken from here the amount of things they have learned starting from potty training all the way to reading sight words on their own is so incredibly impressive. I cannot express how much the teachers cared for my boys and showed them so much love every day that they showed up. I’ve also had my other son there since he was eight weeks old and he is now two years old and he loves it so much and has made so many friends and again loved by so many teachers. Definitely recommend this daycare! ❤️

  • I truly believe this is the best Daycare that I have toured for my son. The teachers truly care about their students and make sure they are all taken care of. My son is now 3 years old and has been coming since he was 8 weeks old and he can write his name and knows how to add and spell his name. The office staff is nothing but amazing and always helps when I need them.

  • So I toured this place today and when I first walked in I was greeted with a strong urine smell along with a few other unpleasant smells that I just couldn’t put my finger on. Lexi gave me the tour and she wasn’t shy or held back with what they didn’t do but was supposed to be doing when it came to cleaning, sanitizing, and the children’s curriculum. She definitely laughed about it as if it wasn’t a big deal and I played along because she was ignorant enough to be completely honest with me. I knew I wasn’t bringing my daughter to this place based off of the weird smells alone but Lexi added the sprinkles and cherry on top with her incriminating honesty. I wish I could remember the name of the blonde girl in the classroom that my daughter would’ve been in with the other 3 year olds but she looked miserable and just completely drained. I asked her is she was ok and she replied to me that she was literally sick 😷 and tired and I asked her shouldn’t she be wearing a mask and she replied yeah I should but never even moved to go and put on a mask. I was so uncomfortable with the smells of that place that I asked what do they feed the kids because if you’re not cleaning and sanitizing then you definitely aren’t handling the food correctly. Lexi told me that they deal with a lot of raw chicken. I was so shocked and disgusted that this standard was good acceptable to them because the ladies there definitely made it very clear that I will NEVER bring my daughter there EVER! They do not care and they are FILTHY. I’m praying for the children currently enrolled there. Not to mention they are over priced. There are other legit preschools in the area that I visited that are $50+ cheaper and do not charge a ton of extra fees and also do not tell you to provide your EBT card number to qualify for free/reduced meals. That sounds like FRAUD to me. Why would I share my EBT card number with you and why isn’t the meals included in the price of tuition. Paying the registration fee is understandable but all those other fees are scamming and frauding. Shame on you and that entire facility. RUN!!!

  • Nathalie at the front desk is the best. Every time I have concerns or questions she always helps out as much as she cans and goes above and beyond. Iris is in the dragonfly room right now and one of her teachers Ms. Hannah is literally the best with my daughter. My daughter loves being around her which makes me so comfortable.

  • We absolutely love Children First Learning Center. The staff & teachers are so very welcoming. You feel good knowing your children are in good hands. My daughter learned so much from her teacher. You truly feel like your a hug family when you are there. I strongly recommend children’s first learning center to my friends and family.
