  • Gina’s daycare was a wonderful experience for my family. Our boys were in infant, toddler, and preschool rooms and the love and care they received helped them learn and grow and this mama felt at ease knowing they all were so well taken care of. Thank you Gina’s for being our family and taking care of military families.

  • We had a GREAT experience at Gina’s daycare. The staff are friendly, super communicative and amazing all around. Crafts are done every week, those most cherished memories sent home to us. We will miss being at this learning center and being able to get instant updates and pictures on what our LO is doing everyday. The app is seamless and extremely easy to use, you can communicate with directors and or staff if you have questions or concerns. I highly recommend Gina’s. Our LO loved it there! I am not family nor a friend.. despite all the negative reviews I a mom who needed child care and put her trust in this learning center and it did not fail me. Thank you again to Gina’s learning academy for everything that you did for us. 10/10 recommend!

  • I would highly recommend Gina’s Daycare for numerous reasons. First off they are great caring people who are very understanding and caring of children and will keep them completely safe at all times. I loved how they keep in contact with information and any problem with your child through their own app. They have always responded very well with me anytime I had a question which always put me at ease. If you want the best care for you children this is the place to take them. Thank you Gina’s and all the staff for taking care of our children through the years when we couldn’t and always keeping them safe. We miss you all! We highly recommend!

  • Our family really needed this place to work out, and it turned out to be a big disappointment: - Allowing children to watch Netflix, in particular "K-Pop Demon Hunter" and other shows like it, is unacceptable. And I spoke with other parents that allow their kids to stay here and they also agree. Then when my wife and I addressed Gina about this, she was in denial and then later said they had "staff training" on what is acceptable to watch. Then one of the "teachers(Jonah)" publicly humiliated my son in front of other kids saying I (his Father) called pitching a fit and cussing people out about it, which of course was completely false. He then told my child in front of all the other kids he was the reason they couldn't watch anything. We then got a false report, (apparently witnessed by the same teacher (Jonah) of my child choking out his brother. Which according to both of our children didn't happen and conveniently wasn't caught on camera either. -In the many many times we've tried to call the daycare directly, only a couple times was the phone ever answered. -We started this daycare with the understanding that they have a learning program with lesson plans and structure. That was not the case. My oldest kids went outside, played Legos, and watched TV. They complained because there wasn't even crafting or coloring supplies. -Brightwheel the app they require.... It's ridiculous. If you want to ask a question....brightwheel. If you have a concern....brightwheel. If your child gets into an incident....brightwheel and you find out 3 hours later because nobody bothered to pick up a friggin phone. Also....my wife posted her own review. Which was conviently covered up an hour later by two 5 star reviews. 1 of which has the same last name as the owner. And one who states she hasn't even lived here (FLW area) for 2 years. And the immediately get 4-6 likes by what I'm guessing is Gina and her family. It's manipulative and is playing the system to boost her reviews.

  • Gina and her crew are amazing! I couldn’t recommend them enough and I am very selective with who I leave my children with. My youngest son was just a few months old going there- as I was a recruiter in the area, my son not only had the best care in the area but also formed bonds with the other children as well as the staff and Gina personally. Also the food is amazing, the best I’d ever seen at a daycare- ever. My son and I have moved since and have been gone for about two years and Gina still checks in on Louis on a personal level & I appreciate that beyond recognition because it takes a tribe to raise babies & the friends you gain along the way that are genuine are so so important for developing children in showing them how to maintain healthy relationships. I love seeing Gina’s branch out and grow and I can tell she loves to see my little one grow as well. Highly, highly recommend if you’re looking for childcare in the area.

  • Review of Gina’s Daycare As a parent, finding the right daycare can be both challenging and emotional, but our experience with Gina’s Daycare has been nothing short of heartwarming. My child loved every minute of it, and as a parent, that joy and enthusiasm mean the world to me. One of the standout features of Gina’s Daycare is its family-like structure and the dedicated, caring staff. The environment feels like an extension of home, filled with warmth, nurturing support, and a sense of belonging. The staff members are not just caregivers; they are compassionate individuals who treat each child with respect, patience, and genuine love. The activities are thoughtfully planned to foster both learning and play, ensuring that every day is an adventure that contributes to my child’s growth and happiness. Communication with parents is seamless, keeping us informed and reassured. I highly recommend Gina’s Daycare to any parent seeking a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their child. It’s a place where children thrive and parents feel confident and grateful.
