Dublin Learning Academy

From 3 months to 6 years old - we had a wonderful experience at DLA and would thoroughly recommend DLA if you’re pursuing child care needs. It’s an incredible and supportive school community that fosters independence as well as a nurturing environment.

All 3 of our children attended Dublin Learning Academy, from infant age through kindergarten. We had a great experience and recommend DLA to all of our family and friends!

Worst childcare experience ever. Please take a look at a review posted by Courtney L. 2 years ago, and we went through an almost an identical situation. A simple Google search of 'Dublin Learning Academy ABC News' or employee reviews (from teachers) through Indeed will reveal other instances of the management's incompetence as well. Our 3-year-old attended this daycare for 6 months with the intention of staying until kindergarten. Initially, we were pleased with the teacher in the potty-training classroom. However, towards the end of our child's time there, the daycare changed their potty-training expectations without informing us. One day, our child came home with an unexpected accident and the director informed us about our child would be moved to a different classroom with younger children without any prior notice. In order to “support” their own decision, the director also made up inconsistent assessments (some of which contradicted each other) suggesting our child lagged academically compared to peers. These assumptions was proved inaccurate by the evaluator through Dublin school district. Additionally, the evaluator suggested that our child might be subjected to excessive negative reinforcement at the daycare, contributing to their difficulties. Despite our attempts to communicate with the director and owner via email and phone, our requests for feedback on establishing clear expectations for our child's transition were met with radio silence. It became evident that they had little concern for the well-being of our child. We shared our communication with friends and family, who were appalled that such words could come from a childcare provider. It was an absolute nightmare. In short, the management team at this center is unprofessional, lacking in communication skills, and fails to prioritize the needs of the children in their care. Don't trust the director's words during the tour; they won't address real issues affecting your child and will make decisions without considering your child's best interests or informing the parents beforehand.

We love it at Dublin Learning Academy! All 3 of our kids have attended DLA and have learned so much! My oldest son was at another preschool and struggled when he entered kindergarten. My daughter is going into kindergarten next year and is leaps and bounds ahead. I have the teachers and staff to thank! Definitely recommend!

Couldn’t recommend this place more! We had switched from multiple other popular places nearby which were not meeting our standards. Both of my boys have been going here since near birth. From the moment I walked in I knew this place was different. Clean, friendly staff, outstanding curriculum. I originally wanted a place that would take care of my newborn like their own and that is exactly what this place is and what they did. My boys have excelled and my oldest is already far ahead when entering First grade next year. We took our boys out at the beginning of Covid for a few months and unlike other places they did not make us continue to pay. They respond quickly to any questions or concerns and have been nothing but the most professional and supportive. This includes all staff. I was also told by another parent that Dublin City Schools recommended this place. Please be skeptical of reviews on here without any details - they could have their own motives such as being a disgruntled former employee.
