About Achievers Of Excellence Learning Academy
Achievers of Excellence Learning Academy
Founded by Georgia Thornton after 30 years in social work, this academy brings a private-school atmosphere to the Mesquite community. The program follows the Texas School Ready curriculum, focusing on character building, early literacy, and STEM exploration. Families appreciate the 'tight ship' environment where manners and discipline are integrated into daily play-based learning. The facility features dedicated spaces for different developmental stages, from the 'Tiny Champions' infant suite to 'Expressive Dreamers' for pre-k students. The owner’s deeply rooted commitment to the community is reflected in their participation in the Texas Rising Star program and their focus on providing high-quality care to underserved families. Daily operations include nutritional meals and a structured dress code consisting of color-coded polo shirts to foster a sense of belonging and focus among students.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
I put my three year old in this school and it did not disappoint, from the cleanliness, safety measures, curriculum it was an overall great foundation for my little one to learn discipline, routine, and structure! This Academy is a 10/10 and I would highly recommend!!
All 3 of my kids have gone to Achievers with the youngest being there now. Our experience has been a positive one, especially in the infant classroom. Ms. Carr was a great teacher - caring, attentive, and encouraging. I could say the same about any other teacher that I’ve encountered at this daycare. All the staff have been great to us and are dedicated to the betterment of the students. There is structure and I do like the fact that students ages 2 and up have to wear a uniform polo shirt. I feel like my daughter is getting a solid foundation while at daycare and will be well equipped for starting school in a couple years.
Thank you for allowing Rosalinda Aguero State Farm Agency to participate in the Parent/Teacher meeting. Parent were encouraged to get more involved in their child learning journey.
I transferred my 18 mo/ old here from a regular daycare. Best decision I have made! It is structured just like a private school would be and my son has learned so much from bein here!!! I washes his hands and can clean his seat before and after he eats he knows how to eat with silverware, knows colors and is more attentive to things. Its like having a private school education at a public daycare price! they are actually more affordable than the daycare I moved him from. They do require uniforms and different color polos every day of the week. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The food they cook looks amazing and all of the children are so well behaved, and manners are taught and heavily implied in their learning curriculum. Highly recommend them to anybody! they take CCMS as well ! as a mother of 5 I wish they were around when my first 4 were born! If you care about your Childs education and want a head start this is the place to be.
Great place to bring your kids to get them ready for 1st grade and beyond. The teachers are phenomenal and put a lot of care into their students. The owners, starting with Mr. Thornton is a wonderful person and really does care about each kid being as successful as they can!
