I personally love this childcare center. It’s a very clean environment. The staffs are very respectful and all interacts with the children very well. I really love the fact that the owner is very much involved with the children. My children love going to daycare. They take educational but yet fun field trips. My children always enjoy the meals at the center. I will recommend the center to any and everyone.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I currently have 5 children between the ages of 11 months & 12 years old enrolled at Learning Leaders & I must say I’m very impressed with the way the facility is ran on a day to day basis. My 11 month old has exceeded expectations with his milestones and has been coming home with new things he’s learned everyday. My 2 year old has the vocabulary of a 5 year old & my 5 year old is going on 75. She has spelling & writing her name down pat. She can recite our address and my cell phone number like a pro & the center truly treats us like family. I just recently gave birth to another child a week ago & in 2 weeks he’ll also be attending the center with his siblings. I LOVE IT!!!!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

It is actually ZERO stars. When I first toured the day care, I was not please because it was smelly and needed sanitized. I gave the benefit of the doubt. However, I sent my daughter there only because my niece children were there. Unfortunately, with the rise of COVID 19, the staff has been seen without mask, the room for babies and children has been over ratio leaving me concerned for the safety of my child and her possibly being a carrier of Covid 19 to my sick mother. My child reported a teacher being mean and this was not thoroughly investigated. The bags of trash left in the daycare was like it was being ran like their house. The tv was so filty, you could tell from looking, the staff does NOT clean. The owner's teenage daughter lacked the knowledge and experience to deal with the kids parents and her son came to address concerns I had, but was still fully asleep. They are very unprofessional and I would not recommend this particular day care to anyone. My child has not learned anything rather this is a baby sitting facility and teaches kids NO real curriculum. MORE TRAINING IS NEEDED and once implemented, could potentially become a 5 star. TODAY IS OUR LAST DAY.

Fortunately we have not had any COVID cases since the virus has been around. You have been to the center 4 including the 1 time you did the tour. The other times you dropped off and pulled off. I’ll address how you behaved very unlady like and unprofessional towards all staff. You came in to the center 3 times talking to the staff being very rude and disrespectful to them. The young lady you’re referring to is 38 and just wears her age well. The young man you’re referring to is 21 and he was the 2nd teacher at the facility during the time. The 5 children you dropped off added to the 5 that were there making it 10 and they were still in ratio. Your daughter attended all of what 3 times if that. Your accusations are false and you only provided a bad review because I threaten to terminated care because the staff felt uncomfortable working with you and your child who was being a bully, lying on children and staff, also talking to the adults and children like they were her kids. When I addressed the concerns with you it went no where like you condoned her disruptive behavior and encouraged it. I terminated her care because of your disrespect and unwillingness to actively address the issues your child has.

The owner is amazing and her love for children is out of this world. The teachers are very welcoming and encouraging, they are very active with the children. I love sending my child, she cries when it's time to leave. The setting is clean and open, great place and space for the situation we're all dealing with (COVID) Please schedule a tour and check out the center. You won't be disappointed.
