"My review is based on the tour I received today! What an awesome learning center! So far I love what I see! 1st thought was THANK GOD it's CLEAN! I love the bright colors and neat classrooms and meeting some of the teachers and getting to see all of the happy children run up to Mrs. Elsa to give her hugs gave me so much reassurance that my babies would love her! She reminded me of my family she knew every child by name was extremely professional and her tenure with the company SHOWED ME that she's not just here for a check and must truly love what she does! I even asked some of the parents how they have enjoyed the school and how their children like it and everyone and I mean EVERYONE smiled and had such positive things to say. One mother bragged about her 2 year old son being potty trained and a few children didn't want to leave. I can't wait for my kids to start here!" - Torri Santos Lopes
