What parents say

My son just started his first week at Kids First and WOW!! If I could give this school more stars, I would. The owner and staff are so friendly and very much on top of everything. The staff keep me in the loop with pictures and messages. My son (3yrs) comes home every day and tells me how much he loves his school and teachers. Ive noticed a great change in his attitude and personality as well. I highly recommend you…

I really love Kid's First Learning Center and my daughter is always excited to go. She has learned so much since she started there and I recommend it to all my friends. All the teachers I've met have been great and they really go the extra mile to make sure the kids are safe, learning, and having fun while doing it.

Ani Eblighatian · 5/5 on Google · 4 years ago

I do not usually do this but I let you know that this place is horrible as children try to yell at him and they have two teachers who do not seem trained my 2 year old son was there and the wise director who took a learning program, the social worker shouted and I was always harassed that if I could pick up my son earlier than agreed because they could not have it any longer in the end they told me without any reason…
