My Granddaughter loves going to Sherrills Ford Learning Academy and her teachers make her feel special everytime she walks in. My daughter and I feel comfortable when we walk in to drop her off and pick her up. This is a great place for you child if you need one for the day or week.
When my child first started at this center, I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a first time mommy who was afraid to leave her child with anyone. However, over the past year, they have been through a period of no director to a new one and I think it was better with no director. The care is unstable, none of the teachers show any interest in your children (with the exception of a slim few). To learn the children's names they would put stickers on the kids back with their names on it. Couldn't get my child out fast enough and know of multiple other children who have been moved since then. Its tragic because this area really need a good and afforadable childcare facility and this one had so much potential!
