Ed-U-Care Learning Center

I have had my kids at Ed-u-care since 2007 when my son was born. When we toured centers, we fell in love with Jonette, the director right away. While I understand the concerns of the other 2 people about there not being a security system in place, I have to say that the staff is extremely caring and I have always felt that my kids are safe and being well taken care of. Jonette has put a keypad on the door on more than one occasion, but each time, it has not worked properly. It is a small center, so the staff focus on working in the classroom. Jonette runs a great center, that is very affordable and she will work with parents when difficulties arise. My son was there for 3 years, and my daughter was there for 2 years. We always felt that they received a great education and had lots of fun while they were there. Both kids often came home with art projects and work from other lessons. While driving one day, my then 2.5 year old son saw a stop sign and called it an octagon. When I praised Jonette about it, she said she believed in teaching kids as much as they could handle... she wanted to go further than just some of the basics (square, circle, triangle, rectangle), so she went on. My son was very well prepared for pre-k when he entered it and is doing very well in school now as a soon-to-be 2nd grader. On many, many occasions, my kids cried because they did not want to leave at the end of the day. In both cases that we had to stop care with her, we only left because of the fact that we live an hour from the center and our family needs changed (I took off work for a year and then my daughter needed to be closer to home to receive speech services). Jonette always looks for ways to improve the center and she really loves the kids and families that she works with. At Ed-u-care, the kids are not just a number, but you really become part of a family. Please, take the time to set up a scheduled tour with Jonette. Her rates are very reasonable, and she works with teachers (in not requiring payment over the summer for no care). This is a hidden gem of a center that you don't want to pass up.
