We started at PLA in September 2023 after months of trying to find a pre-k program that worked for our son and our family. We decided on PLA after doing a tour and seeing how happy the students and teachers were. They offer small class sizes and have a great well rounded curriculum. My son will be in a great spot entering kindergarten. This school offers a lot of fun activities and event for the students and families. The teachers are amazing and truly care about the students as a whole. My son has made lifelong friends and we will miss PLA so much!

Premier Learning Academy is THE best day care and school. The teachers and staff are consistent in an industry with high turnaround. You can tell the teachers and staff love where they work and it reflects in the kiddos. My son has grown tremendously being there, so much so he will be starting kindergarten early! I wish we could stay at PLA forever!

Our Daughter has been attending PLA for 2.5 years and will now be moving on to kindergarten. She has blossomed into such a confident little lady. Teachers and staff here have always loved on our little and made us and her feel safe and cared for. She has learned so much academically and will be entering into kinder with beginning reading and math skills, which as an educator myself.. is amazing. We love it here so much that our baby girl will be attending in the fall 🙂

I honestly can’t say enough great things about this place! My son has been thriving here and I’m so happy with how the school runs everything and the teachers are amazing, I feel so comfortable and safe dropping him off knowing he is safe and cared for. I don’t get to see all of them all the time but Ms Janet and Ms Jessica, Ms Nicole and Ms Megan have been so wonderful with him and made us feel so welcome. All the other teachers are just as amazing too. He has learned SO much and will be ready for kindergarten! If you’re considering this preschool for your kids I 100% recommend.

PLA!!!!! My heart is so full of emotions! This is so so so amazing and such an amazing feeling as a parent to feel that much safer while my kids are there! The most amazing and safe environment for my children! I can’t recommend them highly enough! They care about every single child and not just the teachers, the directors are just as involved.
