INSPIRE ME PRESCHOOL ACADEMY

I have nothing but great things to share about this daycare. Tashya has been a pleasure to work with onboarding our daughter and being very accommodating with her early start date. The teachers are so welcoming and treat the children like their own. My daughter now has a structured nap schedule, is learning to eat independently, understands so many nursery rhymes and comes home tired (finally we can sleep through the night). I am very satisfied with the services at Inspire Me Learning and look forward to recommend any family with children.

My child and I love everyone at inspire me! I am amazed by his growth and how all of his teachers there are invested in him. I appreciate each and every staff who helped my baby reach all his milestones. I can not wait to see him continue to grow here :)

My child been attending for two years, everyday she inform me about the letter of the day, she come home singing songs about God and speak highly of her friends. During an incident she had with another student, I contacted the director during off hours, she listened to my concern, addressed the issue and assured I felt comfortable sending my child back the following day. She met with both kids, spoke with staff and I haven’t had any issues since. I highly recommend inspire me

While Inspire Me Academy presents itself as a commendable daycare for children's learning and development, it exhibits significant flaws in several areas: 1. Safety: The facility lacks a secure, fenced yard, which is concerning given its proximity to a public food pantry where strangers can access the premises while children are playing nearby. The inside/outside are very dusty-pictures posted below. 2. Curriculum: The curriculum for the 3- and 4-year-old classes focuses on numbers 1-10, which may lead to boredom and disengagement among students like my son, who are already capable of more advanced learning. 3. Lack of Skills (School-to-Prison Pipeline): Regrettably, the “daycare leaders” lack the necessary composure and skills to effectively manage their classrooms. I have observed multiple instances during drop-offs where the staff was out of ratio and overwhelmed. Instead of receiving training to manage their classes, parents have been encouraged to meet with a BCBA (Behavior Specialist) for children as young as 2, 3, and 4 years old. It appears that this process disproportionately affects African American children, which raises concerns about the potential labeling and misdiagnosing of our children based on unfounded negative stereotypes that I would never condone. They have also been unable to assist my child with potty training, despite his compliance at home. It is worth noting that several employees have posted five-star ratings. Due to concerns about bullying from Tashya and her staff, other parents and I have formed a support group to address these issues. I strongly advise considering enrollment at this daycare!

We’ve been very happy with Inspire Me. The staff and environment are warm and loving. Our baby started daycare full time at 4 months and has been happy at drop off and pick up every day (he’s 16 months now). He’s had a stable cohort the entire year and we’re about to start year two with him. We are really pleased with his growth, the individual attention he receives, and the thought and care that goes into the programming even in the baby room. The teachers, staff and director really care and have integrity in their work. We know our baby is in good hands.
