From the 9 preschools we visited before enrolling our child to the Academy, your institution stands out in every aspect, providing a safe, healthy and intellectually challenging environment, endowing children with skills and knowledge well beyond the requirements for kindergarten enrollment.K & T Jakab
We love that the teachers are doing an excellent job. My son loves it there and whatever he learns that day, he comes home and show me. He’s talking a lot more. Khom Yoon
Our family has had a FANTASTIC experience at the Academy. My husband and I were both recently saying that we cannot imagine taking our son to any other school. In researching child care, we knew right away that a learning environment was the best fit for our child. What we didn’t know is how much the love and care at the Academy makes a difference. We are so grateful to know he is with such a strong group of thoughtful and caring mentors and teachers every day.
We have seen amazing growth and development in the last two years and we know so much is due to the experience he has at school. When our family did have concerns, they were thoughtfully heard and addressed. Every child is different, and so is every family, but we have appreciated all of the special events and activities. We were blown away by the Nutcracker production and have cherished our time spent in the classroom at Thanksgiving or other holiday parties and events. It has been a truly wonderful experience and we look forward to many more!Susan Buckler
We have had superb care at Academy East from every teacher our daughters have gone through. Every room is unique and has wonderfully trained staff, eager to teach, and full of energy. My daughters never want to leave! Our experience at Academy East is first-rate! Laura Stiefermann
The Academy of Early Childhood Learning has been and continues to be a life rewarding experience for my 3 children. I am so thankful for the love, education and influence they have received during their various stages of developmental growth. It provided my oldest two sons a strong foundation and beneficial transition into elementary school. The Academy provides an unbelievable opportunity for my children to grow and succeed away from home. I credit a lot of my children’s development and early success in school to their time at the Academy.Jenny Putnam
This is a wonderful place for my child. He has grown a lot in just the short time he has been going to the academy. The teachers are all wonderful! We couldn’t have chosen a better place.Tonya Moore
