Abc Learning Academy

I went to drop off a child this morning as a favor to the parent, and the experience was completely unprofessional and concerning. When I arrived at 6:46am, the staff wasn’t prepared at all despite the fact they open at 6am. I had to ask about the sign-in tablet, and only then did one woman slowly power it on. There were three women standing near the exit—one blocking the door while talking on the phone, and two standing in front of the desk. The woman blocking the door was also the one on the phone, speaking to either the owner or director. While I waited for the tablet to turn on, she started questioning me about whether the child would be attending today and tomorrow. I clearly told her she would need to ask the parent. She repeated what I said to the person on the phone but added things I never said. Then she suddenly announced that the child couldn’t stay, supposedly because of a payment issue—something that should have been addressed with the parent, not with me. They all started going back and forth with me, insisting that I call the parent. I repeated multiple times that I was not responsible for that and that they needed to contact the parent themselves. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the woman on the phone instructed the staff member by the door not to let me leave the building. At that point, it was 6:50am in which I called the police. While on the phone with them, I made my way past the woman blocking the door without touching her, pressed the exit button, and walked out. The staff then tried to send the child outside after me, saying the child couldn’t stay. I told the child to sit down and again told the staff to call the parent. Once they realized I was actually on the phone with the police, they suddenly tried to downplay the situation, saying “it wasn’t that serious.” But it was serious. No daycare or school should ever attempt to stop someone from leaving the building, especially someone simply dropping off a child. And no staff should ever try to make a non-parent responsible for payment issues or decisions about the child’s attendance. Not to mention, the center always smells like dead mice, which is another huge red flag. I will be reporting this entire center. Their behavior was unprofessional, unsafe, and completely unacceptable. I do NOT recommend sending your child here.

I been speaking with MS Pam , for the last two weeks about enrollment for my daughter I’m new to the college park area and I explained that I was looking for the Georgia pre k program and she never mentioned anything about a waitlist or anything I told her where I was moving expressed needed pick up drop off all was well never called and told me somebody took my spot sent me a school list I got everything for her to just now mention it’s 200$ tution due outa no we’re after uniforms was brought and supplies so much miss understanding and lack of communication as a single mother nobody has money to waste yea that was horrible now I have uniforms my daughter can’t even wear had to find another school last min!

Wish I could give them 10 stars!!! Great daycare for your most precious cargo!!! Your little ones will love the experiences, staff and extremely remarkable curriculum designed to grow their agility and relationship building skills! I appreciate the owner Ms.Pam and her staff for working with my family during a difficult transition from unsuitable childcare offered by the YMCA. Transportation is available and safety is top tier at this childcare establishment! Get your child enrolled today! Very Proud parent!

I am appalled and deeply disappointed by the assumptions made about my child during our experience here. The staff’s baseless presumption that my child only consumed rice due to their Asian heritage was not only offensive but entirely unacceptable. This egregious display of cultural insensitivity has left me questioning the integrity and values of this establishment. In my 40 years of life, I have never encountered such blatant disregard for inclusivity and respect, especially in a place that claims to foster education and growth. Referring to this institution as an “academy” is a disservice to the very definition of the word. This experience has ensured that neither I, my children, nor any future generation of my family will ever step foot in this place again. I sincerely hope they reflect on this incident and take immediate action to educate their staff on cultural awareness and respect. Until then, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this establishment to anyone

First off let me start by saying I love Mrs Pamela Davis I’ve never met anyone like her. All four of my children attended ABC learning academy from their infant-toddler age to graduating preschool age. The main thing that stood out to me at her learning center was the fact that she had a curriculum for every age I mean even at 6 weeks old they’re learning. They were teaching my children foreign language at 2yrs old. Her facility is very family oriented and they make you feel like you belong. The family fun activities are always a success. Also I love the fact that Ms. Pam and her staff goes above and beyond for our children and their families. I could write a book about this wonderful school but you all get the picture. I wouldn’t send my children no place else. I really wish the school taught all the way to 12th Grade. Ms. Pam and staff the Toland-Lee family love you all.
