Lionheart continues to be a solid preschool and place where I can trust! My twin boys are now 6 and out for the holidays from Kindergarten. We are resuming childcare there until school starts back up again. The boys love seeing past friends and past teachers! They enjoy Lionheart and I love a place where I know they are safe and in trusting hands. It has been great seeing familiar faces and walking down familiar hallways we had been many times before! The Lionheart staff are amazing and so is the building - it is secure and entrance door locked all day. Thank you Lionheart for your consistency in being a great place to care for our most precious treasures! The Morgans

My little one has been going to Lionheart for the last 18 months or so and he has completely blossomed under their care. The teachers genuinely love kids, even if they seem a bit stern at times on the surface. They foster an atmosphere of godliness and kindness in each classroom and pour thought into everything - even the meals/snacks. I would recommend Lionheart to any parent looking for a Christian preschool experience where the teachers and administrators live out their faith in full view for all the kiddos.

Lionheart is 100,000% better than the previous daycare my daughter attended. I love how they teach her about God,pray over their meals and instruct her behavior. I love how in tune with the kids they are. They actually use the tuition money to take the kids on field trips and that is wonderful!! We love this place and look forward to many years to come! Thank you lionheart I would definitely suggest this daycare as your child's second home because you won't find a better one I promise!! Shout out to Mrs. Niecee thank you for all that you do we really hate to see you go but wish you all the best in your future endeavors may God Bless your path!

My nephew attends this daycare and I speak frequently with my sister about my nephew and how daycare is going at this establishment. After several discussions I have had with my sister, it seems to me like there is a lack of attentiveness by the teachers and a lack of transparency by the staff. Taking items from a child on an assumption is theft and writing up a behavior incident report because the child is upset is unnecessary and inappropriate. Also, when you are consistently loosing the child’s/family’s items there is clearly a re-occurring issue here as well..do better, be honest and pay attention

Lionheart has been a daily blessing for our family. The staff truly loves and cares for our baby. She has absolutely blossomed in their care. Every day she comes home with a new word, or starts singing a new song, and she is excited every morning to go see her friends and teachers. Lionheart is the gold standard of child care.
