My kid was attempting this daycare mostly 3 years and we never had issue. Miss Janette who is director of Daycare always picked her employees very well. She is present majority time there and observe everything. Kids do lot of learning and activities. I felt always safe with my kid there and he was ready for kindergarten with excellent knowledge.
Michaela WilliamsAug 22, 2025The Essentials of Learning Academy is one of the BEST and most effective academies around! I am very appreciative of the huge impact that Mrs. Janet had on my two sons' foundational learning. I thank God for allowing my wife and me to cross paths with Mrs. Janet around 2015-2016. Mrs. Janet and her staff greatly prepared my sons with the ESSENTIAL skills and foundational learning. Both of my sons were extremely prepared for kindergarten and continued to excel from grade level to grade level. Now, my oldest is in middle school, and the youngest is in 3rd grade. Both of my sons are still very fond of Mrs. Janet and are grateful for her childcare and teaching. Again, it is all about a SOLID, ESSENTIAL foundation. Mrs. Janet and her staff provided that for my boys, and my boys are continuing to build on that. Let The Essentials of Learning Academy do the same for your child.
Jason St.ClairAug 14, 2025My child has been attending this school since she has been 7 months. Mrs. Janet has went above and beyond to ensure that she excels in all academics. I highly recommend this school!!
Patrice PriceJul 22, 2025Ms. Janet is a blessing and a God send!! She helped my daughter be prepared for Kindergarten by challenging her and understanding her uniqueness. The staff she entrusted to teach my daughter were all great! Highly recommend!!!
Willie SullivanJul 12, 2025Foundational learning for early education shines at the Essentials of Learning Academy! The learning environment is rich with intentionality that shows in the children's confidence after learning a new lesson/skill! Both of our boys were blessed to encounter Miss Janet and her team when a typical daycare setting was not the best fit. They needed the nurturing and loving environment while learning that she provides. Both boys excelled in kindergarten and beyond. Their foundation at The Essentials of Learning Academy, through Christian driven leadership, has more than prepared them to excel academically! ✨️Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
