I’m so happy to have chosen this place for my kids since last year! Ms. Tamara, the director, has been nothing but kind and treats every child and parent she sees with absolute respect and welcoming hands. Every teacher here has shown love to the children as if they’re their own. It gives my kid’s father and I so much peace of mind knowing they’re being safely cared after. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my 2 toddlers! read less

The teachers and helpers are the best I have ever seen. They genuinely care about the well-being of every child. They are patient, kind, loving and can get down on the Childs level to help them learn and understand different areas in which the kids need guidance. My son asks each and every morning (weekend too) if he is going to school today. The fact that he loves going to school and learning social skills with other children and having such a positive bunch of role models around my son while I'm at work is priceless. One of my favorite aspects of this daycare center, is the fact that they pray with the children. They are a religious centered daycare, and for me and my family that is extremely important. When my son comes home from school and can pray at the dinner table without being prompted to, is such a heartwarming feeling. I can't say enough how much I appreciate this daycare center. I highly recommend this place. read less

The director assured me as a new mom that he was in good hands and always made sure to keep me updated with him throughout the day. The Learning Jungle constantly sends pictures, updates, and info about what meals he has eaten, when he uses the bathroom, and when he is napping. I couldn’t be more thankful! The staff is extremely welcoming and is always open to address my concerns and even offer advice. I absolutely love the daycare I have chosen for my son! read less

At home he goes on and on about all his friends and his teachers and it amazes me that he knows their names.

He had come a long way and has learned so much in his short time here. The teachers are always friendly, informative, and responsive. Honestly all of the staff are excellent. I love the fact that I get updates throughout the day of what my son is doing and photos as well. The only downside as many places I noticed these days is there are no cameras, sometimes I would like to peak in the classroom and see what's going on. However, that doesn't change my rating that I love the school! My parents absolutely loved it as well when they came for an open house and spoke with the director. She is doing an excellent job at the center. I can say the latest negative reviews may be due to just things going on unforseen (Covid, illness, emergencies etc..) happening amongst staff but considering the things going on right now they are maintaining a high level of professionalism and prioritize the safety of the kids and staff. read less

Thanks to the people at Learning Jungle those worries were quickly put to ease. The app they use is a wonderful way to communicate.

He is our first, we both work, and we have no family in town. To make things worse, nobody in my family has ever used a daycare with an infant, and I felt so ashamed leaving my newborn to go back to work. Thankfully, my baby has spent the majority of his first year in Ms. Jocelyns class, and I cannot stress how much we love her. My son smiles when he sees her, he enjoys his time at daycare, and we get to know he's safe and happy during the day. This review is kind of all over the map, but I definitely recommend Learning Jungle, especially to families with infants. read less

Initially we only enrolled our 6mo old daughter here because we felt very strongly that we wanted our 2 yo to go to a Montessori preschool. When the school he was enrolled in strayed from Montessori philosophy, we enrolled him here too. Our son is strong-willed and high energy and he FLOURISHES here!! I used to dread pickup and drop off at his old school because they never had anything good to say and he would cling to my leg and cry every morning. At Learning Jungle, he practically skips into the classroom when I drop him off and they tell me a story that makes me smile every day when I pick him up. My daughter, who was an infant when she first enrolled, has learned SO MUCH since starting at Learning Jungle. She uses her words as well as sign language to communicate with us and she just turned 1 yo!!Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend enrolling your child(ren) at Learning Jungle. The teachers at Learning Jungle love our children like we do. The stories that they share constantly show us how well they know and love our babies. Lastly, Cassandra, the director, is AMAZING. She is kind, understanding, nonjudgmental, flexible, respectful, communicative, organized and personable.I can’t say enough good things about Learning Jungle!

Our 3yr old son at the time, had never had a babysitter/caregiver, so we really needed a place that he'd feel at home at.

It took him awhile to adjust as we only brought him 2 times a week. The first week, they provided him with his own teacher Ms. Kelly to give him the extra attention he needed throughout the long days. Once he was adjusted he loved going to school and always looked forward to the art project of the day. We could instantly tell the difference in his vocabulary, song memorization, social skills, and especially listening skills. Ms. Sandy and Peg were the teachers for the 2 year old class and he especially loves them, as do I. They have gone above and beyond and genuinely love our son. The administrators, Ms. Emily and her mother Ms. Judy, have been very patient and understanding with any paperwork and have always explained things very well, making sure we are always aware and comfortable. The price, not to mention, is unheard of and we appreciate the rate so much (when researching other schools, we saw more than double what High Sierra Academy charges).
