The year and a half that my children attended they've learned social skills how their actions have consequences. The staff there is awesome as…

Stacey Johnson · 5/5 on Google · 2 years ago

My daughter has been attending there for years. They helped get her kindergarten ready and she excelled at her kindergarten intake test. My daughter has fun there and she enjoys going there. They extended their afternoon pick up hours to accommodate parents which was nice.

Roxy JB · 5/5 on Google · 2 years ago

My children love it at The Breakfast Club. I feel they are safe and well cared for. Awesome place I would highly recommend. My children have been going to TBC for years. It's so nice having people you can trust, the staff at TBC are always friendly and kind.

Joshua Spudis · 5/5 on Google · 2 years ago

Excellent learning center! They are very organized and structured. I fully trust this facility that my son is in good hands - they prepared my son for Pre-K and Kindergarten - mentally, physically and emotionally. The staff, the culture all plays a big role. Rian loves Ms. Lisa and Mr. Matt. He misses them terribly!
