Asia June · 2/5 on Google · 2 years agoI have been at AEL for over 6 yrs and love the owners, staff and children. I am a qualified teacher in all ages,but at this time I am the cook. We provide a well balanced hot lunch each day and encourage good eating habits along with a great variety of different foods. If you are looking for a loving,encouraging place for your child I would highly recommend Academy of Early Learning. 😊
