What Our Families & Clients Say About Us

To be honest, I was apprehensive about enrolling my child in preschool. I checked a number of schools before coming to visit Higher Learning. But upon visiting with the staff, I felt comfortable about my child enrolling. I still felt uneasy. I just didn’t want to let go of my baby. But, the staff assured me it would be ok – that it was part of the transition. Over time my daughter has learned Spanish, counting and colors; and has a fit when there is no school. Eventually, I had another daughter who has been here since she was 6 weeks. She is now 3. The staff is extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. I feel that when my child leaves here they will be well prepared to move to elementary school and beyond – thanks to their stay at Higher Learning. I sleep well knowing my child is safe and happy. My experience has been a very happy one.

Higher Learning has been a game-changer for our family. The staff is incredibly caring, and it’s quite evident how much they truly love not only my child, but the service they provide to the community. My child has grown and developed in ways I didn’t expect!"

Jessica B
I’ve always felt my child was in good hands at Higher Learning ever since I met the director. When I had my 2nd child, I immediately enrolled her into Higher Learning. I will always choose Higher Learning as my 1st choice because this is the only daycare I trust to take good care of my kids
Desirae H
Higher Learning has had a huge impact on my son’s life. He went from being shy to being an outspoken, intelligent young person with a high spirit. Although I’m sad he is leaving, I’m happy that my 1yr old son will continue attending Higher Learning. I have recommended Higher Learning and I will continue to recommend them to anyone that is looking for quality childcare.
