We love I Can. My daughter started at age 3 and her learning has accelerated. She is reading, writing full sentences, doing addition and subtraction on a first grade level. The facilities are always clean. Classrooms are spacious with lots of activities and supplies. I love that she is happy to come to school each day and happy when I return for pick up. The staff is always friendly and warm. You can tell they really care. I highly recommend!

A Truly Special Place for Little Learners As parents of three, my husband and I have seen our fair share of preschools, but I Can Child Care and Learning Center stands in a league of its own. Our youngest just graduated from their program, and we’re genuinely amazed at how prepared she is for kindergarten. Her reading, math, and social skills have soared far beyond our expectations, and we owe so much of that to this wonderful center. What made I Can so exceptional for us It’s the perfect balance of play and purposeful learning. The teachers (truly some of the kindest, people we’ve met) have a gift for making learning fun. Our daughter would come home excited to show us what she’d learn, whether it was sounding out new words, reading books, solving addition and subtracting problems, or proudly using her big kid problem-solving skills. Every day, we saw her confidence grow. Beyond academics, the center fosters values we cherish: kindness, curiosity, and independence. The owners, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Tanner, bring decades of education and heartfelt leadership—a combination that’s hard to find. And as parents, we always felt included. The team’s open communication and attentive care gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re searching for a preschool that gives your child an outstanding foundation in a positive environment, we can’t recommend I Can enough. Family-owned, women-run, and full of heart, it’s the kind of place where kids thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. Our daughter is more than ready for kindergarten, but more importantly, she’s leaving with a love for learning that will last a lifetime. We know how overwhelming the search for childcare can be (we’ve been there!). If you’re looking for a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place, this is where you need to be.

I had a very high expectation for a learning center for my daughter. She is a gifted individual that was beyond excited to start preschool. I Can Learning Center welcomed her to their school and helped nurture her love for learning. I am amazed everyday on the progress and growth that she's made during her time at I Can. She is well beyond prepared for Kindergarten and fully understands classroom procedures and expectations. She is able to read, write, and answer addition problems. The teachers love working with their students are are each gifted to provide an unforgettable experience for their students. The learning actives in science and history are fun and exciting! Tiffany and Debbie are dedicated to their mission of providing a quality learning environment for all children to thrive in. I'm so grateful to have found this learning center!

I Can Child Care has been a phenomenal experience for our family and more importantly my daughter for the past 2 years! I highly recommend this facility for not only the safety, cleanliness, or professionalism but for their academic integrity. From the program director’s to the staff, I cannot thank them enough for the role they played in my daughters academic growth. My daughter looked forward to going to school daily and has been a joy to watch thrive under their care. We have met so many great families along the way, it was the perfect atmosphere that will be greatly missed. Look no further, call and inquire today for an opportunity of having your child/children attend one of the greatest child care programs in Hampton Roads!

We came to I Can from a different facility that was not giving our daughter the proper care. I was very nervous but immediately felt confident we had made the right choice. Once my daughter adjusted she began to flourish, mentally and emotionally. I cannot recommend this learning center enough. I cried like a baby on our daughters last day, as she heads to elementary school. The past 3.5 years have been nothing short of wonderful. I’m forever grateful to the teachers and staff for simply being the best. We will miss them so much! Thank you!
