EELC has been our son's 4th childcare center and is by far and away the best one we've experienced. Our daughter has gone there since she was an infant and the amount of love and care the staff has for our kids radiates through every interaction. The staff is rightfully the highlight and Shannon and her team are truly special. But the classrooms are clean, full of activities, and the school prioritizes events, outings, and takes advantage of the awesome playground area. This is a place where parents want to get involved, where community is fostered, and most importantly where you know your child is well cared for and their development is prioritized. I'd highly encourage any prospective parents to get their application into EELC ASAP so they have a chance of sending their children to this wonderful place.
We've had both of our children attend EELC, and it has been an incredible experience for our entire family. The staff here are not just childcare providers -- they're caring, kind, and truly amazing educators who have made a lasting impact on us. Many have become babysitters and trusted friends of our family. What stands out most is how much they've taught me about parenting. Their insights, patience, and expertise have helped me grow as a parent, and I'm grateful for the guidance they've provided to both the kids and to us as parents along the way. Both of my children have thrived under their care. The warmth and genuine love the team show every day creates an environment where kids feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. I can't recommend this daycare enough to any family looking for a place that truly cares about both children and parents.
Sending our son to EELC was one of the better decisions we've made as parents. We feel relaxed and worry free at drop off everyday knowing that he's getting great care and attention from his incredibly kind and loving teachers. They do a wonderful job with their curriculum centered around learning through play, and the amount of time the kids spend outside in their wonderful tree lined playground is really an added bonus. We can't say enough good things about EELC.
My oldest kiddo started going to EELC in 2018, when she was 4 months old, so my family has been part of EELC for the past 5 years! The director is incredible, she is an amazing support and resource for families. The center is affordable for the east side, and I love that it's a nonprofit that truly centers the needs of kids and teachers. It is such a special community, and we are excited to be part of it for years to come! I would highly recommend the center to anyone looking for a loving school for their little ones.
We love the Eastside Early Learning Center! We have had our son here since he was 4 months old (currently 2). I cannot say enough about the Center Director and the teachers. They are so loving to all of the kids and their dedication is incredible. I am always impressed with their activities, events, and special touches that make my son LOVE going to his school. EELC also has a great community of parents - I couldn't recommend it more!
