What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My son attended here from 3 months to almost 2 years old. We loved every phase, every teacher was been so sweet. He learned so much in his time there, he often shocked us with things he had learned. We removed him just because we had to find something better suited for our current situation, but I would have kept him there if I could!
I love this daycare, my son has thrived so much from being there his teacher is a miracle worker. She potty trained him within a week!!!. she also Teaches him Spanish!!!,I love that I can see what my child is doing or has done through the app
The staff go above and beyond to create a loving and engaging environment that makes my little one feel safe and happy. I appreciate their transparency, communication, and dedication to providing excellent care. As a first time mom, i was affraid to leave my baby in the child care, but I found this excellent childcare.Thank you for taking care my child with love. More than thankful with Asia, Miriam, Alma, Daxmaris, and all the management staff.
I was super nervous about daycare when I first took my baby. Id heard so many horrible stories. A friend of mine suggested Imagination Child Development and her baby was enrolled. I have been so happy. They have an app to see how your baby has been, the staff is all so friendly and patient and my baby loved her teachers and friends. We're moving and I can only hope to find a place comparable. We will miss everyone
Today marks the end of an era for our family, as it was my children’s last day at Imagination Learning Center. I brought my son here when he was just 8 weeks old, right before the world changed with COVID. Along with him, my two toddlers also began their journey here and over the last six years, this daycare has truly become our village. You always hear the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child,” and for us, Imagination Learning Center was that village. From day one, Edna, Dalia, Vanessa, Miss Leslie, and Miss Melissa have cared for my children with love, patience, and excellence. I never had a single issue in all the years we've been with them only trust, peace of mind, and gratitude. Anytime I had a question or concern, they addressed it right away with professionalism and kindness. This place has been more than a daycare it's been a second home for my kids and a support system for me. It’s a bittersweet goodbye now that they’re moving on to full-time school. I walked away today with tears in my eyes, not because of sadness, but because of the deep appreciation I have for everything they’ve done for our family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Imagination Learning Center. You will always be a special part of our story. With love and gratitude, Maria A
