My son has been attending this daycare for two years, and we absolutely love it. The teachers are amazing, caring, and supportive. The new gated security system makes us feel very comfortable knowing the children are safe. My son genuinely enjoys coming here every day. We are very happy with our experience and highly recommend this daycare to other families! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wonderful school and programs. I am soooooooo glad to know it was reopened after pandemic. The school is clean and kids are always with happy smile. When my child was learning there (Bright World), she didn't want to leave even it's almost 6pm on pickup time. Highly recommended!

My daughter started at Pilgrim Learning Academy when she was just 2 years old, and she has been very happy there for the past two years. The teachers are all amazing and truly know how to handle young children with patience, care, and love. Ms. Shelly, who runs the school, does a wonderful job creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for the kids. The school strongly focuses on teaching good behavior…

I’ve had a bad experience with a previous daycare. I was skeptical about sending my son who was 2 years old to any day care but I needed him to mingle with other kids his own age. My husband and I searched around and found pilgrim learning academy. We hoped for the best as we sent him. The school has a beautiful space both outdoor and indoor. Everything is well organized and we get pictures of what the kids do…
