What parents say
My child has been attending for only six months and has truly blossomed under the care of LPLA. The nurturing environment supports growth in social, physical, and emotional development, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the progress. He loves going to school to see his teachers and friends. I appreciate the team so much and it’s less like childcare and more like family ❤️
Kayla V · 5/5 on Google · 5 months agoMy son attended LPLA as a toddler, and now my sister takes her daughter there. Most recently my son, now a teen volunteered, and I am happy to report the professionalism, loving care, intentional & engaging learning, and kind staff is as amazing as it was 13 years ago. Excellent job Mrs. Geneva & staff. I highly recommend this early learning center
