We started taking our little one to Excell Preparatory when she was just 6 months old — she’s now 2 years old — and we could not be happier with the experience. From day one, the staff has been professional, attentive, and incredibly caring, treating our daughter as if she were their own. As new parents, that peace of mind is priceless. What truly sets Excell Preparatory apart is the leadership and culture that Ms. Nelson has built. She is an exemplary leader who leads by example, and it clearly reflects in her team. Every staff member is professional, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being and development. You can feel the consistency and commitment in everything they do. We also love how modern and up to date their technology is—it makes it so easy to stay connected throughout the day and see what’s going on with our little one even when she’s not in our care. The facility is always clean, well-organized, and filled with warmth and positivity. Excell Preparatory isn’t just a daycare—it’s a family. We are beyond grateful for the love, structure, and professionalism they provide every single day. If you’re looking for a daycare that’s clean, professional, and genuinely caring, Excell Preparatory is the place to be. We give them a 10 out of 10!

I been at this school since 2016 and I love them! They have become my family and my village. I know my kids are very very safe and very very loved! The owners Mrs Nelson and Mr Nelson are truly amazing and very caring . From the front desk Mrs. Keisha and Ms Hill to always being nice and very very professional, to administrators Mrs Brown( mama brown lol) and Ms skyra they all about kids safety and wellbeing . They have amazing teachers! They go all the way up to 1st grade and the kids really learn a lot and more from Excell! My son has been tested for gifted programs because of the amazing teachers like Mrs wright ,Mrs bent , ms Shay,ms Belinda. Love this school ! I’m never leaving ! And we also have the best project coordinator Mrs Andrews she has the best field trips and parties

We’ve been a proud Excell Preparatory family for over a decade, and I truly can’t say enough about this school! All three of my children have attended, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers and staff are absolutely phenomenal; they genuinely care about the kids and go above and beyond to support their growth, learning, and happiness. As a parent, one of the most important things for me is knowing my children are safe and well cared for, and Excell Preparatory gives me that peace of mind every single day. The environment is nurturing, professional, and full of love. Watching how much my children have learned and thrived here has been such a blessing. I wholeheartedly recommend Excell Preparatory School to any parent looking for a place that feels like family while providing an exceptional education. It’s truly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for our kids!

We love Excell Prep! They have created an environment for my son to thrive. I love the fact that they allow open communication with the teachers and we don’t miss a beat on what’s going on in the classroom. I am appreciative of the loving, nurturing, and challenging learning environment that Excell provides. I highly recommend this school.

Horrible daycare. The staff here are all lazy and they have a bad reputation for harming kids. The school has declined so much and one of the things that the administrators try to do to the parents is have everyone leave a good review as they’re walking in or out the door to try to get their scores back up, but the school has declined so much it’s not going to work. Since we have been at the school, we have had nothing but problems after the problems and the staff management is so poor at taking accountability for when our children were harmed or injured due to them hiring lazy staff members. Always request camera footage if Anything happens to your children, the staff members and management Hesitate to show you video footage and they also hesitate to turn the audio on while you’re watching the footage. This used to be a decent school, but it just went all downhill once they started leading with money instead of a kids growth.
