  • Finding safe and affordable childcare is one of the hardest parts of being a mother. I feel like I hit the jackpot with EMLA. My son has been coming here for almost a year now and as time goes on I love this center more and more. I feel valued as a customer and my son is cared for in more ways than I expected. Everyday he comes home with new knowledge and a clean diaper. Ms. Dawn has gone above and beyond to make my first childcare experience as a mother so wonderful, and I’m afraid the bar is now too high. This place is a blessing and I couldn’t recommend it any louder.

  • Ms. Dawn has always had a heart for children and seeing them succeed in every capacity. She is so loving and passionate I would recommend EMLA to EVERYONE!

  • I know Ms. Dawn personally as she was my Math Teacher in Middle School. My son has been going there before he started Kindergarten and he loves her. Any issues that I did have were addressed immediately. My son likes all the activities she has planned in the Summer. And he always says he has a good meal everyday. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent.

  • Mrs. Dawn & Exceptional Minds Learning Academy are awesome. Our boys were prepared for entry into kindergarten and far exceeded their teachers expectations. Mrs. Dawn went over above to care for our boys, physically, socially, & educationally. I would recommend EMLA to anyone with small children. It was a blessing to our family.

  • Wouldn't recommend this daycare at all. I removed my children from this place due to safety concerns and the way Ms Dawn communicates. Ms Dawn doesn't communicate very well for business not professional at all she talks VERY RUDE and can be very controlling. Never been more dissatisfied. Also really long nap times make it hard for kids to go sleep at night. Side note I did like all the things she was trying to do. Just the way you go about doing things is not right. I did express my feelings with her when I withdrew my baby's from her. I wish she took them to heart however with a recent call regarding the end of year statement she was so rude yet again over a small question.
