“I’m not sure my words alone will help you understand how truly amazing Mrs. Kay is. But, one example would be on this one particular day, not long after my grandson started daycare, I go to pickup him up and he wasn’t ready to go. As we were leaving he said to me “I wanna go to Mrs. Kay house”. I thought it was funny and it made me a little confused at first but then my heart was filled with so much joy knowing he is having a good time while he is away from us, so much he wanted to stay with his teacher.Additionally, I’m absolutely impress with her professionalism and the way she is with the children. She does a fantastic job as my grandson has learned a lot and the independence that she is training is outstanding. She has some real good patience. The children love her and our family does too.”

“This has been by far one of the best learning facilities I’ve seen. For me I think that comes from the staff they have and the way the genuinely care for the children. My son has grown up with so many of the teachers here that they feel like family. Anybody with small child know that some days drop offs don’t go as planned. So teachers like Ms. Lisa who are there in the morning encourage him to feel comfortable coming into the classroom. She’s very nurturing and greets him just like family would and before long he’s laughing and enjoying himself and has long forgot about me having to leave. During the day he’s spending time with his fav teachers Ms. Marq’ala and Ms. Isayna. (I know there are more that he loves) but he tells me these are his favorites ? and he has learned so much from them and is always excited to show me what he’s learned. From manners to his numbers and alphabet, to writing his name and drawing; his growth is amazing I couldn’t be more pleased. And I don’t think I could make it without the help of Ms. Casha I swear she always has my back and keeps me on my toes. I’m a busy mom and I forget a lot but when it comes to TLE events, announcements and updates. She goes above and beyond to help us parents stay connected. I swear I love this Center and the staff. I cannot say enough good things about them.. ❤️”

“Nothing but good things to say about this school ! My daughter graduated VPK 3 years ago and I forgot to leave a review so here I am :). They supported and loved me as a foster mom and truly cared for our family. I have never seen school as caring as childrens academy and im so grateful to have had them the years we did!”

“Great daycare with the VPK Program. Our daughter joined this school when she was 3 , she learned and improved so much, Thanks to all the teachers especially Ms. Shaniqua, she is a gem, and I will miss her. Thi school really care, they always willing to work with you. They do have a great team there.”

“I am sooo thankful one of my friends encouraged us to sign our little one up for VPK with the Village. This year was amazing! The attention they pour on the children, and the events throughout the year, and the amount of growth I've witnessed from my child - priceless! Don't hesitate, because this school fills up fast, and there's a reason why! It's definitely the place to be!”

“This preschool was the best experience for my girls! They knew our kids so well! They made sure they were well taken care of and taught them more than what they needed to know before Kindergarten. Their VPK program was fantastic and the graduation was even more impressive. They were very family oriented and had many events that we attended with our kids. Even when my older daughter left, she still had holiday gifts waiting for her when we picked up my younger daughter. I couldn’t have asked for a better preschool. Great job Marie and Dawnelle!”

“I’m so thankful to have my boys at TLE Brandon! The staff treat them like family and my boys are so happy to be there. My infant is in Mrs. Alison’s class, along with Mrs. Cel and Ms. Kiana. They are amazing, I cannot say enough about them! He literally jumps out of my arms to get to Mrs. Cel in the mornings. My toddler started out in Ms. Yanissa’s class with the help of Ms. Keeleih (who he is obsessed with) and has now transitioned to Preppers with Ms. Yudanis and Ms. Prachi. They all have been so patient with him and I can tell he truly feels loved by all of them. Their L.E.A.P curriculum has helped both of them thrive and learn at a fast pace. My toddler is great with his ABCs and is now counting extremely well. He has become very independent and proud of his accomplishments and my infant is already starting to talk and learning sign language, it makes me so happy to see. I love this center so much and everyone in it.”

“This is a fantastic location - involved staff that is present so when you drop off or pickup, you are able to speak with someone in the front staff. They love kids. All necessary food and drinks are provided. We adore the kitchen staff too! Even Ms. Jamilla (probably didn’t spell it right, sorry!) knows our kids and greets them with open arms. Sometimes there are rough drop off days and the entire team, including front & kitchen staff, is willing to help out (Kaitlin, Morgan, Meghan). They are so kind. Daily summaries are in the app, and are concise but informative. They provide pictures as well if you want them. We are grateful the Lord sent us to this location when our previous daycare unexpectedly & temporarily shut its doors.”

“If you're a first-time rider looking for a hands-on experience, this is *the* place to go.

I tried calling multiple ranches for an appointment, and it took weeks to get a callback from any of them. Gus was the only one who picked up on the first try, and we penciled in an appointment same-call. He even followed up in the morning of our scheduled day, to confirm for both of us that we're still on.

In-person, Gus is friendly, patient, and highly attentive. He paired us up with a mild-mannered horse (a beautiful fella named Beau) that didn't have an unpredictable thought in its head. And I'm no expert, but to my eyes, every horse at the stable looked clean, healthy and content.

I didn't know what to expect from a first-time session, honestly. I thought that it might be mostly talk, then riding a few circles around a pen, and picking up a cowboy hat on the drive home (not too thrilling, but it seemed realistic).

What we actually got was the real deal. First some quick coverage of riding basics, then a supervised trail ride, and then some low-stakes cattle driving, all on the very first go.

This was *awesome*, and the entire session was calm and fully under-control.

My visit completely blew away my expectations. I fully recommend Gus Trent as a facility, and as a professional.

(P.S. if you're finding the ranch via Google Maps, it will tell you to take the last turn prematurely onto a private road; so once you're on the home stretch at Pitt Rd, put down the GPS and look for the sign instead, you'll know it when you see it.)”

“Highly recommended! The pre K education, encouraged parental involvement in activities, and the easy communication with all the amazing staff is amazing. The only establishment that I have experienced. Yet the only establishment that I haven't heard any horror stories about. Clean,easy to communicate with, great teachers and attention to details,make this place stand out, above the rest.”

“They are employees here and I love the work environment where I am and how we care for and educate our children.The director is a family woman and flexible, I love how she has given a change even in her appearance to that school.”

“My daughter just finished up VPK here and I must say this place is an absolute wonder. VPK is treated like real school. My daughter started off the school year at the 90th percentile in reading and is now at the 99th. We work and do wraparound care and the extended hours until 6:30p are also great for pickup.

The school does SO many enrichment activities for the kids. So many spirit weeks, school dances, picture days, and just general activities. They really go all out for the special events and make it very worth it for the children.

Special shout out to Ms. Maria, Ms. Nadja, Ms. Loretta & Meeka at the front desk, Ms. Shirley, Ms. Addy, and Ms. Emmalyn. As long as we are in the area my daughter will continue here for summer and aftercare as well!”

“My boy has been going there for almost a year now und it was not always easy with new teachers and directors , but what I wanted to say is I wish Yahira Marquez would have been they’re since the beginning of my sons first day . Yahira Marquez is the best I am so glad she is there I can’t thank enough she goes beyond my sons needs and makes sure everything is going good as well as his teacher now Mrs.TijuanaThank you so much”

“School is exceptional. The staff are very friendly and well trained. The class rooms are clean and have new materials and equipment. The play grounds are in excellent condition. They keep you updated on the app multiple times a day. The school is not cheap but you see where the money goes and it is worth it.”

“I moved my son to the Children’s Nest after not being pleased with his previous school. It was the best decision! My son loves going to school (VPK), has learned so much, and is doing so well. They educate the children while still remembering that they are still young children and they have other needs outside of just academics. I cannot say enough good things about this place. All of the teachers including the director have truly been amazing and we will miss this place when my son starts kindergarten. If you are searching for an amazing place to send your children that truly care about your child, then definitely consider sending your child here.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about this place! everyone is so down to earth and genuinely cares for my daughter! my daughter started going here at 4 months old and she is 16months now and I am still so glad a friend referred me here! Even when my child has rough mornings the ladies at Golden Rule do so much to make her (and me) feel comforted and I can not thank them enough! :)”

“I love the care and compassion shown by each of the teachers and administrators. each moming you are greeted with smiles, hello and have a nice day no matter the time of day. They give a daily effort to insure you child is in the best care and leaming what is required for their age level. in addition, they stay on top of informing parents of any and everything happening with your child through the website hourly and taking time to verbally speak with you upon picking up your child. within the three years of my child going here starting 6 months old there has never been a doubt that my child was not safe and in the best care possible. My child has never been soiled/ wet or hungry upon pick up and was potty trained in 2-3 weeks, each time I enter my child is also engaged in a learning or social activity. this school also gives your child time to express themselves through large an projects, engaging with others, and exploring their minds displaying their creativity around the school and classroom. I absolutely love this Creative World School!!”

“We love KinderCare! Our little one can't wait to walk into his classroom each morning and see his teachers. I love getting updates from the app during the day and being able to message his teachers and directors. I know my child will be safe, fed, loved, and educated at this center. Highly recommend you tour the center!”

“I wish I could leave more stars but 5 is the max… This center is amazing the director and the teachers are great with the kids. Communication is great, I love being able to see and read what my child is doing for the day. Big shout out to the whole team in this center thank you everyone for going above and beyond for my child she loves it here. ?”

“This has been the best experience I’ve had with daycare. I love the approach to learning and letting the kids play and explore without micro managing their imaginations. I love that they have cameras and I can check on my child at any time. The staff is very welcoming and kind. All of m concerns which were very little like making special accommodations for my child while adjusting to a new daycare we addressed immediately and met with professionalism and compassion. It feels like a second family. I’m thankful for a place that I can depend on and know that my child is safe and really enjoying herself. My child is thriving socially and learning new things every week which is what I wanted. I’m really happy and excited about all the new programs and the new playground. Thanks to the staff and teachers for all of your care and efforts.”

“Both of my children go to daycare at A Little Kids Academy and they love it here. Good teachers and they love they enjoy working with the children. Knowledgable staff and great with children!”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience my son had at this daycare over the past four years. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt like we were part of a warm and loving family. The staff and administrators are not just professionals; they are genuinely caring individuals who invest their hearts and souls into the well-being and development of every child.My son thrived in this nurturing environment, and it's evident that the caregivers here go above and beyond to create a stimulating and safe space for the little ones. The educational activities, creative play, and social interactions have not only prepared my son for school but have also instilled in him a love for learning and a sense of confidence that will undoubtedly stay with him throughout his life.The bond he formed with his teachers and peers is truly heartwarming, and I credit the daycare's supportive atmosphere for fostering these meaningful connections. Leaving my child in their capable hands every day was never a worry; I knew he was in the best possible care.To the entire staff and administration, thank you for being such an essential part of my son's formative years. Your dedication and love have made an indelible impact on our lives, and we will always cherish the memories and lessons he gained here. If you're looking for a daycare that feels like a second home, look no further. This place is a gem, and we are incredibly grateful to have been a part of this wonderful community.With heartfelt thanks,Tara and Steven Burley”

“My son has been going here for 2+ years now and it has been great (minus a freak shark bite that occurred on land no where near the ocean, but that is what he tells me happened one day). Seriously though the staff is always in a good mood, we get frequent updates on the app, he loves his teachers, and he comes home knowing more daily. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to take your child.”
