This learning center is amazing. The staff is very attentive. I am very comfortable with the level of care that my 1 year old receives at the center. The place is clean and very organized. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my daughter.
This is BEAUTIFUL facility INSIDE and OUT, however the satellite street view is not current.
**My four year old great-niece attends this learning academy. The staff is AMAZING! My great-niece was struggling with writing her letters. She is now able to write and recognize all of her letters and numbers! My sister found a handwritten grid of letters on the back seat of her car (literally on her seat..lol) that my niece wrote. Needless to say that my sister was quite upset, but it amazed us how my niece was eager to write out what she has learned at Whizz Kidzz Learning Academy. I would recommend Whizz Kidzz Learning Academy to ALL school age children! Kudos to the owner and staff. Sorry sis about your car seat..lol.
