I only have good experiences with them ! I can’t say anything bad about them , this place it’s JUST AWESOME My only concern is the playground fence that is very open and since is outside I feel fence should be taller for kids due to safety issues , is very open to public when kids are outside playing . But this place it’s clean, I love The way they communicate through the day from the app with each parent , including pics from our kids , And the staff treat the kids very nice And my toddler is learning a lot thanks to them !

My daughter started at Lionheart when she was 12 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She absolutely adored her caregivers in the infant class, and the transition to the toddler class was a wonderful milestone. Although she faced some initial challenges, the teachers were incredibly supportive, and we quickly noticed positive changes in her independence and habits at home. The notification app and consistent updates give us so much peace of mind, and we’ve always felt confident that she’s safe and well cared for. She’s made great friends, and we love that she’s learning Christian values, which are very important to our family. The director, teachers, and staff are all kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. Lionheart has truly set the bar high for what a daycare and school should be. We highly recommend it!

We have been so grateful for Lionheart! My daughter started in their infant room at 4 months, and they have loved and cared for her so well! She gets excited to walk into school everyday and reaches for her teachers. The staff knows her by name and knows details about her, specifically. They make you feel so welcomed and like they have everything under control. Would recommend Lionheart 100 times over!! Best decision for our girl!

Our family has had an incredible journey with Lionheart Children's Academy, where our toddler has been attending since she turned 1. Over the past three years, we have witnessed remarkable growth and development in our child, and we credit Lionheart for providing an exceptional early education experience. First and foremost, the main director, Josselyn is incredibly approachable and attentive. They genuinely take the time to listen to parents' concerns and suggestions, fostering a welcoming environment where open communication is valued. This level of dedication to parental involvement sets Lionheart apart from other childcare centers. We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our daughter's teachers, Ms. Brown and Ms. Lo. They have been instrumental in my child's educational journey, going above and beyond to ensure our little one receives the best care and guidance. Their commitment to our daughter's development is evident and they do a great job to keeps us informed about the curriculum. Her self esteem has increased greatly and we can definitely see her grow into her own! Moreover, the daily pictures they share with us allow us to witness our child's progress firsthand, creating a sense of connection and involvement even when we're apart. All of their teachers are amazing! My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Lionheart Children's Academy to any parent seeking an exceptional early education experience for their child. Their passionate team, comprehensive curriculum, and commitment to communication make them a top choice in our book. Thank you, Lionheart, for the invaluable impact you have had on our family! Please create an academy in Far North DFW ;)

Relocating from Jacksonville, NC to Garland, TX was terrifying. Not knowing what childcare centers were good and which weren’t. I knew that I wanted my children in a faith based center. Somewhere that they were going to be loved and safe. I found that here at Lionheart! All of my children’s teachers go above and beyond to make sure my children get a great education and incorporating God into their lives. I love the daily pictures I receive and the stories they tell me at the end of the day. From day 1 to present, I have watched my children blossom and grow into these beautiful, smart, Christ-loving little people. With the help of Lionheart, my oldest was prepared for Kindergarten. My Pre-K’er is ready for Kindergarten and my Preschooler is well on his way to also being ready. I could not have done it without them! Thank you Lionheart!
